when's the "crash"?

I'll say this, I've been so intrigued by the run up that I've spent days seriously contemplating a sell off. Trout has been my primary PC focus since December 2011. I struggle with imagining what I'd even consider PC collecting in 2020 (and beyond), if not Trout!

So, I decided to just test the waters with a few of my extras yesterday morning. I wanted to see how real/serious this run up is. I decided to list just 3 PSA 10 rookies (US175, BC175 & Sterling) on eBay with slightly high BINs (so I could potentially have some control over who I sell too), but with the Best Offer option set with auto-decline at/near recent sale prices.

29 hours later... 1 legitimate offer (which I declined)... 0 sales!

If Mike has a similar year to last and either wins MVP or comes in top 3 - these prices pre season will seem low.

interesting!

i agree, once one sells off something, its wise to move on to something/someone else

I recently sold a BGS 9.5 that now allows my entire collection of Trout and 2011 Update product (which isnt very much compared to others in this thread and those collections are very nice BTW ) to be at very low buy in.

I am certain I could have held out and made more $ down the road, but for my wife and I this was a win/win for where we are in life! (which were doing good, I dont want to sound like a charity case )

Exactly 10x more.

That Black Label Trout might sell for close to $20K.

I just sold my Soto off eBay for 2k. That being said there are way more Sotos grades and there are already more Soto black labels. There is no one out there with a trout black label willing to take under 18k that I know if. I know where about 12 of the 25 are.

I would take $18K - I owe $15K on my SUV

By the posts in the B/S/T threads, this will be a very active thread once again this year. Virtually everyone is seeking to trade for, or seeking to sell to buy, Trout.

Any interest in moving one of those etopps for a PSA 10 Bowman Draft or maybe Bowman Chrome Draft?

Not right now, but thank you. The eTopps is one of my favorites. Beautiful card in-person. Was lucky to add the Topps Vault 1/1 blank back of that card a few months back as well.

[Tapout57]

Have a 2011 bowman chrome draft PSA 10 that I wanna include in a trade for a Trout upgrade. Lmk anybody. Always been looking for a 11’ Finest PSA 10

Good looking card!

[adamwanaselja]

I’ve listed this on B/S/T and eBay and haven’t had a single reasonable offer. The best I’ve had is less than what I paid a year ago. Not a flipper either. Just need to recoup some cash but can’t imagine taking a loss on this.

Does anyone have a Topps Holiday autograph card from any year?
