2016 Topps Series 1 Mike Trout /2016 (Gold)

Nice card! It’s a great distraction while I’m locking my life down.

Does anyone know why so few 2011 Finest Refractor Autos have been graded by PSA vs BGS? Is it the auto grade? I would have thought PSA would have had more.

PSA: 29+2
BGS: 165

I see that the most common BGS grade is 9.5 while the PSA is a 9 (only 3 PSA 10). Is the surface sensitivity unlikely to land a 10?

Thanks! Yes, I agree with using it as his jumpman logo

Thanks! Yes, I’m actually locking my household down while this craze is going on.. last time I checked, the Seattle area is currently the worst place with coronavirus in the United States right now. When I went grocery shopping this morning and pick up some stuff at Costco, I felt like I was entering a “war zone”. I’m not leaving my house unless I have to right now.

Feeding off of Reggie's beautiful Trout ... I have exactly 2 Trouts in my collection. Here is one of them!

Just arrived back from psa. I found these two in a commons box a few months back.

Nice ref

Looking at some of these updates. What is the consensus comparing off-centered to white corners? What is everyone’s preference? Off-centered with nice corners or centered with not so great corners

The online card market has shifted much more weight to centering, as this is easily discernible from typical scans. That’s my opinion at least.

Nothing to see Wednesday, just an 2011 Finest Printing Plate Auto ending and a couple Black Labels; Emerald and Xfractor.

So excited to pick this up! Didn’t think my max bid would win.

As having owned 2 and trying to cross 2 of them unsuccessfully - it appears as if the surface is very sensitive

Beautiful card!

I tried to cross over a 2011 Finest Auto one as well and it did not go well. For whatever reason PSA is particularly harsh on grading them. I would guess it's the surface but my card actually got a 10 surface grade from BGS.

Thanks Reggie. It’s my first Indy Trout for Topps.
I was happy to pick it up and add to my sons PC.
I’m heading to WM to try and find some Donruss and hope to pull some fish

Nice! Looks similar to his 2016 camo photo variation, just without the camo

DO IT!

[ThoseBackPages]

could be the same AB for sure

also, could be his only 2020 card w/o the jaw flap!

I've been toying with the idea/hope that I could somehow trade for a 2009 Bowman Chrome Trout in PSA 9 … any idea on value or who may have one?
