2011 Topps Update #US175 Mike Trout Diamond Anniversary PSA 10 GEM MINT
Mike Trout is a freak of nature at the plate and in the outfield. As evidence, he has landed three MVP awards and finished second in votes four times. The Millville Meteor rivets fans with the long ball and leaps over the centerfield wall to rob home runs. Trout had racked up 310 career home runs, 816 RBI, and a .305 BA starting the 2022 season. If he continues at this pace, he will finish his career among the titans of the game. But perhaps no stat in his portfolio is more impressive than his Wins Above Replacement (WAR). Only Babe Ruth and Negro league player Josh Gibson have a higher season WAR, which underscores Trout's importance to his team. His Topps Update Wal-Mart Blue Border Rookie ranks among collector favorites and thus should attract a crowd in this auction.
