Yeah, a guy like trout should be able to catch his 7 WS Championships, his 20 times an all star, triple crown etc etc. Especially since Dave Kingman has more Homers in his Prime than Trout. Not to mention Trout is now officially a china doll. Mantle tore his ankle in 51 and drank everyday, lol. Maybe he was good? They measure up pretty well? No? why are trout's cards worth more than Mantle you think? Is it because they have funny names and pop?
