So, the first two are on-card, but this one is a sticker? ::facepalm::




Mike Trout is Topps’ third Finest rookie of year

By Chris Olds | Beckett Baseball Editor

Topps announced its third Finest rookie redemption of the year on Thursday, and it’s the guy who is looking like he’ll take home the American League Rookie of the Year honors — if not more when the season ends.

It’s Mike Trout.

Collectors who found redemption No. 3 out of the five in 2012 Finest, which arrived in hobby shops last Wednesday, will receive a signed card of Trout, who is leading the AL in average at .340 and stolen bases at 38.

The first card, announced last week, was Pirates rookie Starling Marte. The second, announced Tuesday, was Chicago Cubs rookie Brett Jackson.

The company will reveal the remaining two rookies later in the month.

Good for value but really? His "RC" was last year.

Well crap. I sold a #3 for about $90.

Didn't think Trout would have one based on their statement that these would be of rookies debuting this year.

I warned you.

I warned you.

That you did.

I thought it was possible, but got hung up on the players making their debut this year part.

Matt Harvey to fill #4 or #5? I am hoping for #4 since I have one sitting at home.

I predict he'll be #4, and Machado will be #5.
