Maybe in the short term. Frank Thomas and Albert Pujols got off the amazing starts to their careers and now they have cooled off. Same thing could happen to Trout. Cobb, Wagner and Ruth will keep going strong.

Bingo!!!! Trout has to be elite for at least another 5 years. Plus, not test positive for PEDs or any other performance inhancing drugs. Then to not make news in a negative way after he retires on a routine basis. What a risk dropping 6 figures for a player still playing IMO. As Daniel said, the modern investors know its a big card and I hope they don't educate themselves on Prewar investments.

Update:
Cobb at 205k
Trout at 200k

Trout is leading in the poll over Cobb by a whisker.

I don't follow the new stuff. Can someone tell me what a "10" 89 UD Griffey rookie goes for these days and the price for the same card back in the late 90's?

Also, is that Trout card a one of one or something "special" like that?

You can get a nice raw Griffey UD RC for $50 or so, but a PSA 10 just eclipsed the $1,000 mark. But they also made a few million of those.
