I totally agree. I would even go so far as to say that no Trout card should ever sell for more than any T-206 Wagner. I would argue that the Trout card isn’t even as rare.
There are approximately 60 T-206 Wagner cards. That is it. However, there are approximately 1,956 2009 Bowman autographed Trout rookie. All these cards have the same image and the same autograph. The only difference between them are the border colors and some are numbered. That’s it.
There are approximately: 1,000 base/regular autographed cards that are unnumbered, 500 numbered chrome cards, 225 x-factor cards, 150 blue bordered cards, 50 gold bordered cards, 25 orange bordered cards, 5 red bordered cards, and 1 superfractor.
1,956 cards versus approximately 60 cards. I’ll take any Wagner over that silly superfractor that is no different than the other 1,955 Trout cards other than the silly different color border and the 1/1 stamped on the back.
