So is the 2019 topps chrome photo variation THE variation to have?

I’m not sure, but it’s a pretty attractive card out of his Topps Chrome variations.

But if we’re talking about all his variations (non-Heritage), his 2015 Opening Day will always be my favorite.

Second might be the 2016 Topps variation:

That's a tough one...I personally like 2014 future stars variation and 2017 topps the best (2015 OD is up there too). 2016 is my least favorite, but as for chrome, I like 2015 and 2019 thus far. Reggie does seem to have the most extensive coverage of these though...I got in too late before prices shot up for most the good non-chrome variations.

I’m actually kind of glad I got into his variation cards pretty early. A lot of the popular ones have shot up out of my price range. It’s crazy to see how much his 2015 Opening Day & 2013 Topps Chrome (award) goes for today.

NICE, I have one too... don't pop up very often. I think the saber metrics in time will have a certain extra value cuz of his over all numbers

My family’s first MLB game since we moved out to Ohio and we get to watch our favorite player!! Go Trout!!!

Probably will be cheaper. Although I think it will stay a little higher just because the image is nice and the colors go good with the team and him. Overall nice looking card.

BigSlim16 · 08-03-2019, 07:14 PM

What do you guys think the market for Trout minor league cards will be a few years down the road? I saw some lots for cheap and was thinking I found a steal, but was really surprised to see how little these cards sell for. Do you think there is any room for growth for these cards?

I really hate to say this, because it think the term shill bid gets thrown around to lightly on here but I do believe those pwcc 2012 heritage trout PSA 10s were shill bid

I mean I was buying at $300 via best offers just 10 days ago so while I think the card is poised
For bigger things I don’t think it’s a $350 quite yet

But who knows. Maybe it will be at $400 by seasons end

Whoa! Raw 2011 Finest Auto auction just sold for $2600! These have gone up in price like crazy.

https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...2F283562640005

Even at $2600, I still think they’re undervalued because it’s Trout’s only on-card auto rookie card.

KB81 · 08-03-2019, 11:41 PM

Damn and raw too.

Jeez. These were $600 cards two years ago.

That was about the price range I bought mine for a few years ago.. I’m glad I pulled the trigger on that then. I couldn’t imagine trying to collect his 2011 & 2009 cards today.

Yeah, that's how I remember it anyways. I bought mine (serial #1/499! I know most people don't care about serial numbering but I think it's cool) for $600-ish.

These new prices are nuts to me too. I sold my BC auto precisely because I can't imagine spending that much money on modern cardboard. Disregarding value, I honestly like the Finest card more than the 09 BC card.

I have a 2009 Bowman Chrome Auto PSA 9 (that I bought years ago) and I just recently looked up how much they’re selling for today and it blew my mind: $6k+

Thanks. I bought last week when ebay ran the 8% ebay bucks promo. There are only 8 graded with 3 10’s in the PSA pop report.
