Nice Armstrong..

Other considerations:

1. Has Topps, in its' 65th year, caught onto something huge with "Topps Now"? In 5 years, the morning after awards are announced, will we all be waiting for Topps Now Awards autos to be available, or is this a 1-3 year fad that fades away?
2. A long shot here, but could...could the 2016 Topps Now cards become akin to 1952 Topps, the "first edition" cards in a series that becomes a hobby standard?
3. If 1. And 2. Happen,does the Trout MVP "single" auto also turn into a huge card, as it is his first Topps Now single auto?
4. The Topps Now phenomenon will be something to follow in the coming years..the "digital age" says this may be huge for Topps. But as already stated, the Bryant/Trout dual auto will depend on the future: does Trout, with his 917 hits and 2 MVPs by age 25 play near this level until he's close to 40 and become the greatest player we have seen? Can Bryant become this century's Mike Schmidt? A lot of chapters are left on those careers..

But both players are off to a great start.
