My Mike Trout Topps Variation Collection

REGGIE206 · 02-07-2019, 02:28 PM

Good luck on that 2014 TC variation... the toughest of them all IMO

That is unfortunately #1 on my want list. I have a feeling it will take me years (and big money) to get that one.

I personally think so. Let’s just say I haven’t seen one listed on eBay all year.

How much does this variation generally sell for?

base set · 02-07-2019, 06:38 PM

The 2018 Series One and the 2014 Team USA are my favorites. I would like to collect the 2013s but doubt I will ever see a 13 Chrome for sale.

I have never seen one go on sale before.. it’s extremely rare, but luckily the photo isn’t too attractive like the 2015 Opening Day On Deck photo. That one sells for a lot because the photo looks amazing and it’s rare. If I were to guess, this 2014 Topps Chrome would sell between $400-$600 range. I may be way off depending on who is bidding.. lol

the last time I saw one on eBay was when I acquired mine... January 2017. I don't think Trout's prices were crazy then as they are now, and the seller had the BGS 9.5 variation for $99.99 obo. I hit the BIN as fast as I think I ever have.

The 2013 pops up every once in a while.. not often, but they do. I think I’ve seen it pop up twice on eBay in the last year.

The '13 with the foil stamp is from the All-Star Game Factory Set, sold only at the ASG FanFest I believe; it came with a 5 card pack of unique cards inside. After '13 those were made in higher quantities I believe, and more widely sold, too. Let me know if/when you find one, how that works out. Harper & Kershaw have cards in it too that would have demand; the other 2 are Matt Cain and Robinson Cano.

Yeah, I’ve seen many other years with the All-Star stamp. They pop up on eBay pretty frequently. I just haven’t seen a 2013 yet.

These are incredible. Looked at your thread earlier tonight and didn't leave a comment but came back about four hours later just to leave this haha.

I love baseball but don't have much of a collection of baseball cards but I can appreciate how gorgeous this are. The great photography just makes these. Well done
