Which card will sell for more

There is a 50% chance that Trout becomes the player of his generation and doesn't have a decline like Pujols, Thomas and Griffey. There is a 0% chance that he has a better career than Ty Cobb.

I know Cobb is in REA, what auction is Trout in?

I don't see the Trout auction either.

I voted for Trout, not because I prefer the card, but I remember the news story about someone called, "Vegas Dave" who paid $400,000.00 for a Trout "Superfractor", whatever that is...If you were to ask me, after watching the 2019 playoffs and World Series as an Astros fan, Anthony Rendon is the best player in baseball...Rob

It's believed that Vegas Dave consigned this red card numbered out of 5 as well. The Superfractor is the 1/1 version with the champagne colored swirls in the background. Vegas Dave is also a heavy pumper like Gary V with his own groupies who invest in whatever he tells them to. He's also regularly been accused of bidding on his own cards.

I think it's nuts to think that Trout is going to continue on at the pace he's done in the past. I hope he puts up some really neat numbers in his career but sooner or later time will catch up to him and he'll have a few average seasons towards the end of his career, just like Kid Griffey, Pujols, etc. Then people will be on to the next Mike Trout and that Trout card will be yesterday's news.

Look at Pujols first 10 seasons and tell me he was a slouch. I'm going to guess that you can get Pujols most expensive rookie card for a lot less than that Trout card.

I'm sure the card companies are having a ball coming up with the next "marketing" lottery ticket (because that's how I perceive that Trout card and others like it) because it keeps them in business.

If I had that Trout card, I'd get as much as I could for it and then I'd be buying all kinds of vintage with it.

Now, for the guys that like that new shiny stuff, have at it and enjoy what you collect.

Out with the New and In with the Old. Cobb is the best value and not a flash in the pan like Trout Nothing like a Pan Fried Trout when the Values go South

Cobb in the Clubhouse at 300k. Now we have to wait 3 weeks and see how Trout does.

I don't say this to diminish Cobb in any way, but come on. Trout is not a "flash in the pan." He is the best player of his generation.

In eight full seasons, he has finished top two in MVP voting seven times. He has led the A.L. in offensive WAR seven times in eight years. The only season he wasn't in the top two in MVP voting and failed to lead the league in offensive WAR, he missed a third of the season due to injury.

Be it 1910 or 2020, those are otherworldly stats.

I agree with this. Do you think Pujols would be more revered if some of his big years were recent? As a Cardinals fan I watched a ton of his first 11 years, but have rarely seen him since (and haven't seen Trout play more than a handfull of games for that matter). It would make me think twice about putting so much stock in anybody who is still playing when a 650+hr 2000+rbi guy is sometimes thought of more for his decline than what he did. Similar thinking for Griffey.

This year might be a wash for Trout. All it takes is a few little injuries here or there and his projections really slow down.
