Let me start off this post with a little story. I live and was born in CT, however, one of my uncles lives in San Diego, CA. When I was a child back in 1995 (I was born in 1989) my uncle got married and my family and I flew out there for his wedding. Both my mother (Braves) and father (Athletics) are huge baseball fans, so naturally while we were out there they wanted to go see some games. We got lucky and both the Padres and Angels were home at the time. We went to see a Padres game and also got to see the Angels play the Athletics in Anaheim. The Angels game was first and that was my first ever MLB game. Even though I was young, I can still remember some of it. My dad was happy because the A's ended up winning. However, to my dad's eternal dismay I have been an Angels fan ever since (good times and a lot of bad early on). I love baseball and even grew up to play in college. Anyway, I don't usually spend large amounts of money on single cards, seeing as the gambler in me likes to blow money on boxes and leave angry at Topps. As you can imagine, since I am a big halos fan, I am also a big Mike Trout fan. Therefore, I decided to really throw caution to the wind and buy myself a sweet rare Trout RC. I'd love to buy the 2009 Draft auto but spending upwards of $1,000 scares me still. Finally I decided on this beauty and dished out a pretty nice chunk of change...
