If I want a Trout auto I'll just wait 15 years, at which point some HOF release will come along and I'll get an /10 for $150.

You are talking as if Trout won't be remembered as one of the greatest players of the last 50 years. He will be regardless how the career finishes off. It's the Blowout baseball collector bubble, that aren't really fans of the sport but more collectibles, that doesn't understand that.
