[QUOTE=BigSlim16;16360969]I actually just picked up a 2020 Opening Day red foil and blue foil today. I'm excited to see what they look like in hand[/QUOTE]

They look great!

[QUOTE=jimmybeast3;16360945]Newest arrival, I picked up a few foils recently. I love the look of them and they are inexpensive.

Looks amazing! I really love the 2020 Topps photo they used :)!

Great article on fangraphs dissecting Trout's struggles this season. Trout is more or less being as patient as he always has been, and his plate discipline is right in line with past seasons... Pitchers are just being more aggressive with him and he's letting them get away with it.

He's an excellent student of the game, and I'd expect him to make the adjustment himself and make them pay for their aggression.

Hopefully these two days off help him readjust and bond more with his baby

2 days off + 4 games against Seattle

I like that math.

Today's mail day. A couple more low end and one I've really wanted since it's release. As REGGIE said before, pictures do not do it justice. Such an awesome card! Thanks to mnvikingstwins for being patient with me and working out a deal.

US175 Diamond sold for $15000 today!

Slump isn't really hurting his prices.

Ah. Still counts ;)

It counts for those who don't do their homework ;)

You gotta be dumb to buy high end Trout without doing some time of research before buying it

I have three up for sale in the next Goldin auction... I'd be plenty happy with $15k each.

So you split them or put them into a 3 card lot?

Has anyone confirmed the Superfractor sale?

The 3.9M one? Yes owner of the Diamondbacks purchased it.

I saw Kendrick was suspected but have not heard any confirmation.

As of 2016, Kendrick is the owner of the T-206 Honus Wagner baseball card once owned by Wayne Gretzky, considered the most valuable trading card in the world. The Wagner card and 34 other iconic and rare baseball cards in Kendrick’s collection, titled "The D-backs Collection," were previously displayed at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, N.Y.

I decided to go big, and go with the 3-card lot. Could backfire... we'll see.

Trout plays the Mariners tonight. I finally get to watch him on my local TV station. I can’t wait! :)!

I think you'll take a pretty big hit selling g as a lot. Hope I'm wrong, good luck!

[QUOTE=TheWrightStuff;16370640]I think you'll take a pretty big hit selling g as a lot. Hope I'm wrong, good luck![/QUOTE]

Guess we'll see. Auctioneer recommended going with the lot as well, and they want as much commission as possible. He said bigger is usually better on their site.

There was just a lot of 8x us175 PSA10, and they went for essentially the same price you would expect singles to go for ($3300 each).

Is it me or is Trout getting old?

This is when he went through his Farrah Fawcett phase
