Trout has lasted WAY longer than most in the game of hot potato. These modern cards get handed around at first and everyone makes money. Then like a hot potato falling so do the prices of these cards.



I have been in the hobby for 30+ years and it has always been this way. Only now those $35-$100 rookie/prospect cards are selling for the prices of a house.

I hear ya, Ben. I have been in the hobby about as long as you have and have seen multiple examples. We all remember the Canseco and Mattingly rookies, and who can forget the McGwire USA Olympic card?! However, something just "feels" different this time. As you said, Trout has lasted longer and continues to move at an upward trajectory. In football the Brees and Brady rookies are on the move. Don't get me wrong, I don't begrudge anyone who sees his cards appreciate. I think those cards are very attractive in some ways, and I wouldn't mind owning one or two. Then you factor in the impact of TPGing. Goodness a friend of mine is routinely buying ungraded LeBron, Trout, Brees, Brady, etc. on ebay, getting them slabbed, and making good money. The prices he gets for some of these cards makes me just shake my head.
