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. Among the twenty-five copies recorded in BGS’s census reporting, just one example has achieved a higher tier. The Angels' young superstar has placed a dark and magnificent, blue ink signature on the obverse of this extraordinary collectible. The card's BGS condition report: Centering: 10, Corners: 9.5, Edges: 9.5, Surface: 9.5. 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 "24/25." An exceedingly important Trout collectible, in Gem Mint condition.
This is an incredible piece, and one that will clearly contribute to setting the pace for value growth in the industry's most significant baseball rookie cards. And Goldin Auctions will continue to lead the field as the hobby enjoys, today, what future collectors will likely regard as the beginning of a "Golden Age" for the best Mike Trout trading cards!
