Extreme disappointment from an older player.

I’d have rather them just repeat with Honus. While I got the trout (because I already had everything and then some, this was way easier than honus last year), he may not even be in my lineup now, let alone end of year.

To chase... or FISH. Mike TROUT. TROUT = FISH. some trout are BIG.
BOOM

I was over prepared for this, my stub balance went up 800k selling cards I didn't need for the collection and you didn't need cards from every collection

or it was a "big" collection that was the "chase", people read too much into it

Trout is arguably Top 5 player of all time so it’s quite fitting IMO
Not when you already have is LS with Quirks. This should have been a legend

Yes I know people read too much into it. That was the tone of my post. It wasn't serious

You heard it here first kids: stop reading too much...

They weren't clues but people misinterpreted them to be clues

If he was an inning boss this inning, I’d still take Maddux.
All year SDS has had fire content, so I will get over this quickly, but at the moment I think we’d rather have some rando FS card.
-
I wouldn't be surprised if there is another collection down the road, maybe all you will need is the Trout card.

Speak for yourself when you say we want future stars

Trout fits the bill perfectly though. He's an objective 5 tool player that lacks nowhere. The only real differences between him and Honus is the fact that Honus came out of nowhere, and played at a much thinner position talent wise. Trout being an OF is really the only factor that hurts this card.

This is what a lot are missing, 95 with solid quirks and the 99 MVP are d@mn near the same. The difference in play with the cards will be microscopic

Although he is a great player this past decade, he hasn't quite earned top 5 of all time. That is stretching it a bit. And I like Trout so don't get me wrong. If he puts up the same type numbers the next 8-10 years then I'll agree with you.

That's not true though. The vision increase is higher than any quirks bonuses can do, and his vs LHP stats are greater than his best IE boost. Diamond D, more speed. The Prestige 99 is easy as well.
Does this make him the right choice personally, no. For what they Program requires it's fine. A lot of people including myself just over thought this one.

I got him and have used him in a couple event games. I like this card waaay better than his Live Series for some reason. Just feels like anything you hit could be gone.
-
I don't even mind it being Trout, I just wish they would've given him better stats. It is a lot of cards to collect for someone who doesn't even have 100+ in each hitting category and his vision is less than 90. At least with how much it takes to get him at least juice him up a little bit more

vision means almost nothing this year. Contact is more important and he has very good contact. Also his power is amazing. Anyone comparing his live series card to this one because of the quirks doesn't really understand the PCI unless they're like mcgunski and never misses the ball with the PCI no matter how small it is. Compare his live series to his awards card and every single category goes up considerably except for one or two defensive stats.

Unless MLB started In 2000 this is frankly ridiculous.
