Mike Trout's rookie card 1/1 $3.84 million....

Question

Saw a discussion on this card in another forum.  Everyone saying that it is the most expensive sports card ever sold even more than the Honus Wagner.   Everyone was saying the guy that shelled out the $3.84 for the card was a complete idiot.   Saying he could have had a couple of &#x27;52 Topps Mantle  rookie cards and numerous other 40&#x27;s and 50&#x27;s top stars cards as an investment.    I really think its the fact that its the only card ever made is what the investor was thinking of nobody else has or will ever have that  card.  Any card collectors out there have any thoughts,

Nothing to do with sports cards though right.   I mean Trout&#x27;s card is a 1/1 the only one made does it tie in to what you are calling NFT art.

barneybeans · Answer

NFTs are one of a kind too, completely unique and going for insane money, thus the comparison.

&#xA; &#xA;everything to do with sports cards.. u will see digital sports cards as well.. see Gronk&#x2019;s NFT. Wait till all the sports stars capitalize on NFT&#x2019;s.

Imagine how much that card will be worth if Trout ever gets a second post-season hit.

&#xA;You want the guy to coach the team too? Trout is sick, angels blow

As mentioned in the other thread that I read about the Mike Trout card that he is one career injury to make that cards value drop like a stone.  I truly hope that never happens but unfortunately the possibility is always there.

I actually have a Panini College Ticket card one of one of the 2020 number 1 overall pick of Spencer Torkelson pulled from a hobby box.   I know the card market has taken off big time since the pandemic hit so we will see where the one of one cards go from here.

@aaironworks&#xA; Who said anything about coaching? He&#x27;s had some "sick" regular seasons but the fact remains that some American League pitchers have more post-season hits than him. Trout is now in the defensive liability chapter of his career, which will only get worse. When all is said and done, Betts will be considered the better overall player.

Kind of nice to have the only card made like it should help it hold its value.    Would really help if he could do something big like break Barry Bonds hr record) doubt that will happen he would have to hit 60&#x2B; hrs/yr over the next 6 years.

you can blame the biggest waste of talent in any sport Pujols for killing Mike Trout..he clearly could have hit much higher like in STL but he chose to pull everything and became pure crap all with Trout on base year in and year out and these Angels clowns didn't have the balls or brains to tell this arrogant POS to bat lower until he decided to hit correctly..if this happened, the Angels would have made at least a couple more playoffs and Trout would have hit fine..he is way too talented...this is clearly as tragic as Bo Jackson..finally we might see some opps in the next few years

But FU Albert and I'm glad no one cares about all your milestones!

As for the these NFT's and cards, I have some 50's and 60's stars in good condition..like a 66 Mantle, should I sell now? This is getting crazy and we've seen these bubbles burst when there's no more free money and a recession hits...1990, 2009

lookingtowin · Answer

Hoyasaxa not sure where this market is going to go but i would hang on to any 50&#x27;s 60&#x27;s card especially Mantles those old cards will only go one way as far as an investment and that&#x27;s north.
