Good god. I literally can't even comprehend that price. Obviously I know how well Trout sells, but I don't think I realized it was at that level. What in the world would the Super fetch at this point? I just cannot imagine, no matter how rich I get, spending that much on one piece of cardboard.

Yes, yes I did.

I sold a "Base" Sterling auto of his for $16 soon after getting it. Got more ($19) for Chris Hand. :lol:

At least it was from a free pack!

Crazy for sure. Hope it ends with the top two bidders being legit

And not even slabbed!!!!!

Base chrome auto got $2,995.00 two days ago. INSANE.

I think the Last Confirmed Sale for an Orange went for over $19K...

Wow. I actually felt a kick in the stomach for you.

I only ever pulled one Trout auto, and never bought any. The one I pulled is still sitting in my PC. It was a Bowman Sterling /109.

I don't blame people for selling early though. So many of these guys never amount to anything. That's why I don't spend much on big name prospects. Look at all the "can't miss" kids right now

When do you anticipate your balls descending, again?

Imagine the sick feeling someone would have seeing this sale if they had once owned an Orange, or a RED, and sold early. Oh my GOD that would hurt.

 

[DaveH]

yeah, I pulled an Xfractor right when the product came out and sold it [i think] a few months later for $75. so nobody talk to me / and i dont grade but card was a GEM

I was winding down my prospecting in 2009, and Trout looked, to be totally honest, like another in the long line of Angels hitters that were super-hyped and wouldn't deliver (Conger, Wood, Kendrick, McPherson, Kotchman, Morales, etc.). So I never got into his stuff and even if I did, I surely would have sold out in 2012, striking while that iron was hot, and never to get any hotter. Oy.

I think I actually own just 1 Trout card that isn't part of a complete set, but it's a good one (2012 Topps Museum gold frame auto).

I pulled the card in a box I opened. I actually pulled that and a Gold Jared Mitchell Auto in the same box.

I still have the Mitchell Auto.

Hahahaha!

If this isn't indicative of a bubble then I don't know what is, that price is outrageous - is there any chance it hits $20K?

 

[hairyharold]

i had a shot to trade for a trout xfractor auto for under 200 and felt the same way. i got burned on brandon wood and thought of him and didn't pull the trigger

In my history with Trout I sold a base Chrome, Elite, and a 2010 Platinum. I know I almost doubled my investment, but we're talking $30->$60, etc.

Saw him play in the CWS - liked what I saw, so I thought I should hold.

This is why I am not a professional baseball scout.
