Hate to be this guy, but...

I've been collecting pretty consistently since ~2010. I collected when I was little (late 90's, early 00's), but only when I got older did I start to really get into it. I bought a lot of stuff, mostly baseball, in that time span. I can't stop finding throwback Trouts. I am addicted to finding Mike Trouts tucked away in boxes from 7-8 years ago.

I found my second 2011 Topps Update Mike Trout RC, the first one is likely going to be graded, and the second one is missing the Topps silver foil in the upper right hand corner which I understand to be slightly more rare. Up until about 3 months ago, I was unable to locate either of these, I was just "pretty sure" I had them.

Thankfully, they were in toploaders, taken good care of, so props to my younger self for realizing greatness was in store. And thank goodness these were found before something heinous might've happened.

Lol. It sure is a strange title. Maybe: "Guess what I found, happy days"?

Had a similar thing. Started collecting again in 2011, but didn't really organize or anything like that. Just knew I probably had Trouts in hand going from move to move. I think I'm up to 7 Trout flagships, and a Bowman refractor for him. Swear there is a diamond variation somewhere out there.
