2009 Throwback Threads Trout G/U 9.5 BGS, POP 5, none higher

I have a 2009 Throwback Threads Trout G/U 9.5 BGS with subgrades of 10, 9.5, 9, 9.5

This card is serial numbered 145/250, and the BGS Pop report shows only (5) BGS 9.5's, and no 10's.

I can send a scan to email addresses upon request.

I believe this card to be the first G/U card for Trout, and it's a beauty!

I'd like to sell it for paypal, or include it in a trade or a trade and cash for a 9.5 BGS 2010 Bowman Chrome Prospects Refractor Auto of Machado (BDPP80), or Wil Myers (BDPP117).

Trout is a 5 tool player,especially his combination of speed, & power, which makes him is strong candidate for the first 50HR/50SB season in baseball history. On top of that, his incredible plays in center field are a regular on every baseball highlights show.
.
Having just turned 22 this month, Trout has already;
.
Been selected twice for the American League All-Star, this year as a starter!
.
Named 2012 AL Rookie of the year and 2nd in the MVP voting.
.
His 2012 season included 30 HR, 49 SB, 129 runs scored, and a .326 average, and he missed the first month of the season! He also had 83 RBI's out of the leadoff position, amazing.
.
His historic 2012 season also included leading the league in Runs Scored, Stolen Bases, & WAR (wins against replacement), and he won his first Silver Slugger Award.
.
At 6-2 and 230 lbs. he's still maturing and his power numbers should be even greater in the future, especially since most believe a ball player's prime begins at age 26. He will be a threat to lead the league in almost every offensive category for years to come, and he has the potential win a Triple Crown or two.
.
Many compare Trout to a young Mickey Mantle, who also debuted at 19, but Trout first full season's stats are far better in comparison. Here is a comparison of Mantle's 1952 season verses Trout's 2012 season.
.
Mantle 142 GAMES 139 Trout
.
Mantle .311 AVERAGE .326 Trout
.
Mantle 27 HOMERS 30 Trout
.
Mantle 4 STEALS 49 Trout
.
Mantle 94 RUNS 129 Trout
.
Mantle 87 RBI'S 83 Trout (HITTING LEAD-OFF)
.
To say that Trout's cards (especially his draft year cards) have great potential to increase in value over the coming years is a huge understatement. This card is a great investment now and in the future. A card that will look great in any serious baseball card collection.
