I went Trout fishing last week and found that the 2011 product that has the RC logo and seems to carry the best bang for the buck is the Bowman family in a PSA 8. Picked up a nice one for under $100. The Topps update is through the roof. Probably has room to go given that his WAR is already 87th in history and he's only got 9 seasons. I can see him considered in the same echelon as Mays, Aaron, Mantle, etc.
I've been busting the Walgreens series 2 hanger boxes for s***s and giggles to chase the yellow variations. Haven't hit the $130-ish mini-Vlad yet but I'm having fun.
As far as investing goes, if you look over the last 20 years there are base issue cards every year that have done well but only a few that have really taken off and kept going. I am far out of the money on busting packs and boxes. It seems more of a gamble on a lotto-caliber insert than anything else.
