Mike Trout holds recognition as the most celebrated ballplayer of his time, a fact affirmed by his signing, in 2019, of the richest contract in baseball history. Trout's athleticism, his personality and his character inspire admiration and devotion among serious and casual fans, alike. His record of achievement – the 3 A.L. MVP Awards, the 8 All-Star Games and the 7 Silver Slugger Awards, to name just a few – represent the foundation of what projects to be an incomparable legacy. Additionally, Trout's constant and determined efforts to improve his skills and elevate the quality of his performance suggest that his past greatness is merely the preamble to an even brighter future.
Encapsulated and graded GEM MINT 9.5 by BGS, with signature graded "10" by Beckett. A super-premium Rookie Card, and clearly one of the single most significant Trout rookies in the hobby.

The card's BGS condition report: Centering: 9.5, Corners: 9.5, Edges: 9.5, Surface: 10. 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 "19/25." A tremendous Trout collectible, in Gem Mint condition.
