The player with the most cards: Kris Bryant tops the list for the fourth year in a row, coming in with 62 cards.

The nastiest looking card:  He doesn't have his hand in his mitt and the unshaved look make for a nasty card.

My favorite card:  I really enjoy listening to Pat Hughes on the radio, so when I saw that he was included in archives, I was very happy.
