I remember seeing this card after it came out and I loved the pairing. It was also out of my budget but time and the career of one of these guys not panning out helped to bring it down into my price range. It was still a pretty penny, but I look at it as the price for one of the autos was good and I got the second one for free!
Numbered 10/25, this dual autograph of Mike Trout and Yasiel Puig comes out of 2014 Topps Supreme. I purchased it slabbed a 9.5/10 Auto from BGS -- an added bonus. Sorry, Nat Turner ;) .
I wish Puig had hung around the league longer as I really enjoyed watching him play. I still believe he provides more upside than a number of four/five outfielders milling about the benches on a lot of teams.
Mike Trout, well....I should have started collecting him earlier. I have begun picking up whatever I can get my hands on since starting work at PSA and making better money. I am happy with how that collection has started to evolve and look forward to showcasing what I've landed. That newer PC is not just limited to cards, and I'm specifically targeting one of every HR ticket from him.
Damn, nice card!
ReplyDeleteImpressive card, congrats!
ReplyDeleteBy the time I was interested in adding a Trout signature to my collection... they were too expensive. But it's nice seeing them around the blogosphere.
ReplyDeleteThanks fellas!
