Another 2014 Trout card has been acquired. Trying to get some steam behind the pursuit of Trout cards but getting my hands on this one made me feel a little "uneasy" per se. Its the interlocking LA that bothers me. I will make sure not to get a card with him on it with the LA like that again. Being a Dodger fan it just irks me still that that team down south of the city of Los Angeles is still trying to claim the city for their own. I understand from a financial point but doesn't mean I have to like it. And yes, I know they used this logo for years back in the day but seeing it in any color than Dodger blue ( black is acceptable ) just makes me twitch.
With all that said I am still happy to own yet another Trout card. Like all the 2014 cards of the stars the prices are coming down in price with the market absorbing more. A card that once had a sale close to $20 was now had for way more than 50% off of that high. Saw an auction with a price I could live with and bought the card. Crappy LA Logo and all.

I hear you. I also have a problem with the Angels trying to associate their name with L.A., despite the history. Overall, I'm glad you got the card at a bargain price.
ReplyDeleteSame am I. Dont like the Angels but you have to respect that Trout is a beast and still only 22
DeleteThat logo always reminds me of Bo Belinsky and Dean Chance. It would look better though on a navy blue background.
