The perfect player?
The perfect card?
No on both counts but very close on the latter.
While my pursuit of the ever elusive black label perfect 10 continues I grabbed yet another pristine 10 of Mr. Mike Trout for the collection and couldn't believe it didn't make more of a dent into my virtual wallet.
I always come across cards that I didn't know existed and this happens to be one of them. I love photo variations but I don't know of all of them in existence and this is a perfect example as I came across it on one of my graded card searches. Once I saw it I knew I wanted it but with a 10 attached to the label I expected it would go for top dollar considering Mike is having another great season. This card in raw condition has a high of $25 according to Beckett and I would say a fair market value would be somewhere in the 12.50-17.50/18 range depending on any given day. With that evaluation I expected this to go for at least $40 if not $50 because people do love their "perfect" 10's. At the end of the day/auction this card only put me back 50% of my guess for the closing cost. Hence that makes this even a nicer addition to my collection.
Thank you for reading and have a blessed day.
