I call this one "The Catch and Release"....Trout style

:lol: So I purchased a Mike Trout platinum auto on 1/12 for $20.64 DLVD

I received it today (finally) and immediately threw it on eBay where it sold in a matter of hours for $37.99

Not really a big deal, but to have a card for 2 hours, then sell it for roughly $15 profit...I'll take that everyday!

Truly a "Catch and Release"

Anybody else have similar experiences?

I hope I can make it through the influx of Mike Trout fishing puns that's sure to come this spring :shock:

Don't have to worry about anymore from me as that was my last of the Trout autos that I had.

I bought a Chris Johnson X-fractor for $15 about two weeks into his MLB season when he was hitting .350 and turned around and sold it about a month and half later for $40.

My question is-why sell now?

Considering he is going to be named BA's #1 prospect in February, his cards are going nowhere but up until then. BA's rankings take precedence over MLB.com and Keith Law.

Ask people who sold JHey last year at this time how they feel. I'm not saying to hang onto them for an extended period-but February and March will be the time to sell.

That's a fair question. Anytime I can almost double my money on anything I never pass up the chance. Sure I realized that potentially the card might go up, but could also go down just as easily. I've watched my dad lose more money than I want to think about waiting to book his soybeans and cotton crops thinking they will keep going higher and higher only to have the bottom fall out so I've subscribed to the theory of Steve Miller "take the money and run" :lol:

Trout's cards are getting crazy-money now!

Actually about $10 profit with fees but a nice 2 hour flip nonetheless.
