A Mike Trout Debut Ticket, Signed and Slabbed and Inscribed and All Mine

Today's post is such an old addition I had to double-check that I did not post it some time between now and acquiring it while Covid was still strong and dominating our lives. The ticket was purchased already signed and authenticated but raw, and then I dropped it off at PSA while still employed there. Why I procrastinated so long before writing it up, I honestly do not know. But, as they say, better late than never!

I still love tickets and what they represent but I don't collect them with the fervor I once did. Hell, to say I even collect them any longer would be a stretch. A cool ticket would still catch my attention, but what I would spend money on now is a very short list. A Mike Trout signed MLB Debut ticket would certainly make that short list and I wish I had waited to buy one as I 100% overpaid based on what they sell for now compared to 2020/2021. Alas, we make decisions and that money was fair at the time so I can't complain. Plus, the benefit of still being single with no kids is that money was getting spent on myself one way or another.

The ticket returned from PSA with a 6 grade and a 10 for the John Hancock. While I decided to abandon my Every Mike Trout Home Run Ticket project and am currently working on selling those off, an iconic ticket such as this one is going to remain with me for the foreseeable future.
