Guerrero Jr Pre Rookie(MiLB)or MLB Rookie?

[LuckyLuke]

If we don't try to project out on Guerrero Jr's super star status or maybe the lack thereof..what if the same game used items were those of super star and MVP Mike Trout?

Would Mike Trout's first ever Pro game used and signed ball be more sought after than his rookie year MLB game used and signed bat?

We now have a know versus a relative unknown as of yet. Does this change the Milb and MLB discussion?

Thanks.

I also collect some current MLB game used Items and in my experience MLB items do better than pre MLB items. I personally would prefer a ball used for an early hit vs an early game. But balls from rookies first game do have value. And to be honest I think a first Bowman Card Auto is going to gain the most value if Vlad Jr. Has a stellar career.
If we use the Mike Trout example I bought a few game used items in 2013 all have done well but none have increased like his first Bowman chrome card. And looking at Trout Bats a bat with a Home run or multiple Home runs seems to do best.so if I was going after A Vlad Jr. Bat it would have to have MLB authentication and a HR. Hope this helps

Hi Jonathan,

Thank you for your reply, very much appreciated.

The Milb ball in question was game used in Jr's Milb Pro debut, and Jr registered his first ever Career hit in this game.

But I do understand the views of Milb vs MLB.

Well that ball registered as his first hit is a GREAT BALL. I would be all over it if I was you. Typically an umpire will grab a guys first hit for him. Now all you need is for him to sign it..

Hi Jonathan,

It is a game used ball..in his first game..first hit...he went 1/4...but it is a game used ball, not his first hit.

Ball is already signed by him, inscribed with date, and Milb Debut. Would have been over the moon if this was THE BALL for his first ever hit as a Pro...but close enough...LOL
