If you had 50K, would you do it?

Nope, if there is a sophomore slump, you wasted your money, and it's not worth it even for a gem mint 10.
Someone with deep pockets will grap it up! Seems like hes the real deal to me! Best regards, David

No way!
Nope. Not worth it. There's no upside to that purchase (unless you're the seller who gets $50K for it).
Crazy! 50k would go a long, long ways in paying off debts/mortgage... and setting a good chunk aside for the daughters savings.
No doubt huh!
for a michael jordan gem mint 86-87 fleer rookie, no doubt about it!!! and not even just me i'm speaking for, but i would bet a whole ton of people would jump on the mj.
but mike trout? ya, he's talented and probably will hold his own in years to come, but no way would i shell out $50k on a first year card.

Maybe for a super nice 52 Topps Mantle. But the only way I'd pay that much for a Mike Trout card is if it was attached to a 10 pound bar of gold!
You could probably fly somewhere to meet him and have him sign a couple dozen baseballs for a lot less than that.
I'd put half of it into my daughter's college fund and the other into a rental property. However, if this is just fun money, I'd put it into a couple of Mantle RCs.
Id find me nice graded rc's of Nolan Ryan, Babe Ruth, Pete Rose etc etc etc before shelling it out on Trout.
I would have a difficult time seeing the 1/1 Superfractor selling for half of that price.

I would invest in my money market or 401k. If it had to be cards I would invest in vintage. Maybe a nice Ruth.
If I had an extra 50,000.00....I would do a email....with an offer of $15,000.00. Best regards, David
A guy who used to set up locally pulled one. He decided to buy another for the heck of it. Got them both graded BGS 9.5 and had them displayed. I think he wanted $2000 or $3000 each back in 2010 and he certainly didn't seem to mind having them. Considering how much Trout rose in price at that time, I suggested that he get rid of at least one of them. I haven't seen the guy since then and everything now is just a memory.
So original it was someone from Los Angeles! Best regards, David
