Trout is on his way to Cooperstown, and future collectors may not identify with the Mike Trout of the 50s (Mantle)
There are millions of Trout cards. Ben is right, even if he lives up to his potential which is far from certain, the massive supply is going to keep prices down. Any individual issue that doesn't have a lot of copies is just manufactured scarcity which is never a recipe for value. Keep your eye on the big picture.
