Most valuable card? Probably some Diamond Rainbow Purple Super-duper Refractor card of Mike Trout (#'ed /5).

that Goldin was soon going to auction off a Trout Superfractor RC that is expected to be the highest price ever paid for a baseball card-

Vegas Dave said that he would sell his Trout Superfractor for 5 million, not that it would sell for that. So it is not Trout, at least right now.

I thought Vegas Dave consigned that card to Goldin's summer auction? Definitely won't be a $5 million card, but given that a #/5 red refractor sold for $922,500, the superfractor should go significantly higher.

Especially now with baseball season [maybe] starting

For the uninitiated, what is the difference between a refractor and a superrefractor?

The latter is super.

It is superfractor, not superrefractor. It just has a different pattern. Topps has also made atomic refractors, xfractors and different color refractors to get collectors to buy their products. The 2009 Bowman Chrome Mike Trout Superfractor is his ultimate card. 2009 was his first card. The Superfractor only has one copy made.

Just So Cy Young would be at the top of my list of cards to own. Value is hard to determine...Several million at least, I would guess.

To put the current 1/1 insert in perspective. In the early 90's as a candy wholesaler a card company rep came in to see me one afternoon. He handed me a signed Shaq insert number 2 0f 3. I said "Wow how can you do this there are only three in existence?" He laughed, opened his briefcase and showed me a stack of them. I highly questioned manufactured rarities.

100% on the same page as you. While it may not top the Wagner or Ruth in value, I would absolutely take the Young before either the Ruth and Wagner.
