Why on earth is Mookie’s RC so cheap compared to Trout’s?

Mickey Mantle went to the World Series twelve times! When he retired from the game, he had seven rings! He was a true champion! There is a reason why his cards are expensive! As for Trout, I don't know man! This guy has zero World Series appearances, and made the playoffs just once! And despite this, statheads are just punching away at their calculators going "Let me divide his ABs with his WAR and let's multiply this by 52.385 and then subtract this total from his ... oh my godness! Oh my godness! This guy is the best! Wow! Wow! Wow! " It's quite laughable!

And you heard it here folks...a teams success is the measure of an individual players worth and the major driver in their card values!

Ted Williams had no rings. Is he laughable?

Not at all. People aren't spending gazillions of dollars on his cards and nor do they compare him to Babe Ruth (like they do Trout).

He's literally considered one of(if not the) greatest hitter of all time. I do agree Trout is overrated though only because his career story isn't finished, not because he hasn't made the playoffs.
