Thought it would be entertaining to see what you guys think are the top 5 Trout rookie cards to hold onto for the future. Print run, condition sensitivity, pop reports on high grade, current value vs. potential ceiling are always factors that can be considered.
-Edited to add that incredibly low serial numbered cards shouldn’t be considered IMO.
-Topps Update
-Bowman Sterling
-Bowman Platinum
-Bowman Chrome
-Topps Heritage Minor League
-Topps Heritage
-Topps Finest
-Topps Pro Debut
Just a few examples running through my mind right now. What do you guys say?

2011 Topps Update
2011 Bowman Sterling
2011 Bowman Chrome
2011 Finest
2011 Bowman Chrome Draft
I am excluding the 2009 Bowman Chrome auto from the conversation because I would rather have a new car.
Edited
I would have a hard time ranking... but with a run of /99 I would say this one would be somewhere near the top.

Update and Heritage for me. Especially the update as I got my Trout RC out of a $10/10 pack rewrap from Target way back when.
I got my 2011 Topps Update in my $30 set purchase in 2011. I have a set run that I keep up to date. Glad I bought it then!

He doesn't really have that many rookie cards to choose from, does he? I'm assuming we're going by the MLB rookie card rules so it's 2011 issues, which would be Topps Update, Bowman Chrome, Finest, and Sterling, right?
Obviously, 2009 will always be king for dollars and demand. Minor League cards don't count. Bowman Chrome Draft came out after BC so while it has the RC emblem it's really just a duplicate card. Unless I'm forgetting one, I'd rank the four in the order I put them above.

PSA’s rookie set registry has the 8 in this link: https://www.psacard.com/psasetregistry/baseball/rookie-player-sets/mike-trout-rookie-set/composition/10509

I bought my trout bowman chrome 2009 auto psa 9 in 2009 for 120.00. I have it in a safety deposit box now.
This is the last Trout I own as I sold my diamond and regular update. I think the diamond should be in top 5.
I’ll keep this for awhile.

@BPorter26 - I sold my Diamond PSA 10 and Sepia PSA 9 way too early...probably missed out on a couple thousand. This is my current rookie collection:

great cards I wish I had a psa 10 topps update.
