Graded MINT 9 by PSA, one of just three copies validated by that company. A super-premium Rookie Card, and clearly one of the single most significant Trout rookies in the hobby. The Angels' young superstar has placed a dark and magnificent, blue ink signature on the obverse of this extraordinary collectible. A logo on the card's front declares, "Certified Autograph Issue," attesting to the authenticity of the signature and serving as Topps' COA. The limited-edition piece is serial-numbered "13/25." One of the most important and attention-grabbing Trout collectibles in existence, in Mint condition.
Widely acknowledged as a future Hall of Famer, the phenomenal Mike Trout can be relied upon to continue setting records for eye-popping numbers ... on the field, and for his rookie cards' values! The piece offered here is a very special Trout collectible, standing among the most valuable and sought-after modern baseball rookie cards in the industry. Earlier in the year, we sold an Orange Trout (BGS 9.5/10) for nearly $190,000. Then, in Fall, we auctioned another example (also BGS 9.5/10) for just over $180,000. During the interim between those sales, one of our competitors sold one other copy (again, BGS 9.5/10), which realized just $150,000. Clearly, Goldin Auctions is the hobby industry's leader in the sale of modern cards ... and we achieve the best results!
