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 three-time A.L. MVP has placed a magnificent, blue ink signature on the obverse of this extraordinary collectible. The card's BGS condition report: Centering: 9.5, Corners: 9.5, Edges: 9.5, Surface: 9. 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 "20/50." This is a very special card – standing among the most valuable and sought-after modern baseball rookie cards – in Gem Mint condition.
Goldin Auctions' cavalcade of the very best Mike Trout collectibles continues with this important offering. A red-hot market for the most significant Trout cards has been highlighted by our company's record-setting Spring 2020 sale, wherein a Trout Red Refractor realized more than $900,000. And, our just-closed Goldin Elite event saw Trout's "1/1" Superfractor achieve a news-making result. This one-of-a-kind collectible fetched nearly $4,000,000 – the highest price ever paid for a trading card! Clearly, Goldin Auctions is the hobby industry's leader in the sale of modern cards ... and we achieve the best results!
