CARD RECORD · 2016

Mike Trout

2016 MLB Topps NOW · #459 · Base · Raw

Records his second 100-walk season before age 25

The milestone is a quiet one, which suits Trout: only the tenth American League player with two 100-walk seasons before turning 25. The card comes from Topps NOW’s first season and has a final run of only 410. Three exact raw sales produce a $67.27 median, but all are from 2021–23. The appreciation is real historical evidence, not a current-price claim.
