I think Trout will go to be everything Ken Griffey Jr. was supposed to be but without the flair. He's simply incredible. I think his Topps rookie is definitely a safe investment long term but maybe not in the short term if you're only interest is flipping. He is likely to be the greatest player of the 21st century.

I don't see that much upside. His likely career trajectory is already priced in I think. And the card is common as dirt. I think his harder to find cards are a better buy. That said, my only Trout is a Topps Update lol.

The Trout card that still has meat left is the 2011 Finest auto. Numbered and his only RC auto card.

Update is very cool, and very common.

It gets no love. The numbers are absurdly low compared to his other regular issues.

Wow, considering 80% if this century hasn't happened yet, that's a pretty bold statement! For all we know some kid whose parents aren't even born yet will become so great that he'll make Trout look like a dollar box common.

But then again, Babe Ruth played in the first half of the 20th century, and nobody disputes that he was the greatest player of the 1900s... so who knows...

You'd have to be Babe Ruth to unseat Trout. I don't see much wiggle room for being even better than he is.
