Which Vintage Baseball Card Has Increased in Value the Most % in the Last 10 Yrs?

[Eric72]

2011 Topps Update Mike Trout went from $20 or so to $2,000 (100x movement) or so during a ten year stretch that ended quite recently.

PSA 10s go for about $1,500 right now. In December of 2012, Trout was about $50. 30x movement compared to this date 10 years ago.

For anyone who is about to write, "well, Ack-shoo-uh-lee, that's not an apples to apples..."

Just stop. in 2012, the Trout was a base card from a one-year-old product. You could have picked up gem mint raw cards all day long.

Trout has been a great card to hold, but I think modern cards are a different story than vintage. There is much more price volatility when players are still in the middle of their careers. I am sure we could name some players that started out as commons before becoming stars, and their rookies went from 1x to 100x.

You're right, of course. I should have read the problem statement more carefully. I missed the word, "vintage."

Sorry about that.
