Back in 2016, I bought this 2012 Trout atomic refractor (PR of 10) for $110. I sold it just a few months later for a little over $200. Back then, nearly doubling your money on a non-rookie parallel in such a short time was a big win.
But then people started to take notice that this was Trout’s first Topps Chrome card. And then Covid happened, and people went berserk for super rare Chrome cards. I never saw another one sell, but the comps during Covid suggested this could’ve fetched $5k-$6k.
It still hurts.
