@PAinPA_PSN said in Trout's future price speculation:
Price for the collection (division)wouldn't change even if they downgraded trout, one of the other diamonds would jump in price and take over as gatekeeper
Judge already has unfortunately
Judge jumped cause of the supercharge
-
And they will not do that to his card… again trout among others are gate keepers to LS collection
Trout’s price never drops early in the game cycle.

I’m really not understanding your sarcasm with this post because your previous post that I responded to was not apparently sarcastic to the average reader

One of only 4 diamonds i need in the AL so im hoping he drops to 3500 stubs over the next few weeks. If not, i'll bite it and buy for 175,000

There's a huge difference between 3500 and 175,000 don't you think? That alone should indicate sarcasm. I've played MLB The Show since 2006. I don't need someone to tell me about the "gate keepers" like it's some unknown industry secret that few people have knowledge of.

We all have to accept the fact that he's not the best player anymore, and hasn't been for a while. He's not the same "trophy". There's going to be a time when his price is 1K or less, and previous years have no bearing on that. -

Obviously, he's not gonna sell for 3500 stubs any time soon but considering the last few seasons and his abysmal start this year, its not crazy talk to think this may be his final year as a "gate keeper". Its not like Judge, Ramirez and Witt wont slide into that position. They pretty much already have anyway.

What are you talking about?
Trout will be a LS gate keeper for this game’s entire life cycle… will his price drop in months to come? Of course it also happens that way.
But if you think Trout’s price will drastically drop in a few weeks you’re sadly mistaken
What you’re saying about future price points for a LS Trout card in mlb 26 and beyond is irrelevant to this conversation about his price in mlb the show 25

Are we really talking about trout being done after a week...is devers done too? lol

No. We're talking about Trout being done after nearly 5 years since his last MVP caliber season. At 33 years old and a list of injuries piling up since the covid year, its safe to say this is Mike Trout now. Injuries just dont miraculously cure themselves over time.
For the record, it wasnt too long ago in these forums that people told me i didnt know what i was talking about when i would say that Jacob deGrom needed to ease up on the 100mph fastballs 50 times a game. At the time, his cards were about 150K. He blew his arm out shortly after. How much is his gold card now?
It happens to everyone.

I'm not saying it doesn't happen to everyone but to his credit, when he plays he's a well above average hitter by almost every metric still and a little nitpicking but his last mvp type season was 2022 which would still be part of his stat balance per the games rules of 3 year average

But if you look at the drop in production from his last actual MVP seasons to his last MVP TYPE season, it tells a bigger story. Steals, way down. Strikeouts, up. Walks, way down. Batting average, OBP, OPS, OPS+....all down and continuing to go down the years after that. I get it...he was hurt. But aging and being away from major league pitching for months at a time isnt gonna make him better, is it?
Again, i know his card wont go down this year but it shouldnt surprise anyone if he's an 84 next year, thats all im saying.

Trout just homered so this thread is already aging like milk

Bookmarked for a future date when that "I told you so" moment arises.

There is no I told you so moment- if you read my posts in this thread I literally said:
Trout’s price will not go down anytime soon. He’s a gate keeper for LS collections which means he’s not going to drop 50k-100k stubs come April 25th and anytime soon after
Will his price eventually decrease this year as the game cycle continues… of course that always happens but again that won’t happen anytime soon.
I’m not speaking on what the price point for LS Trout will be in MLb 26 or 27 or 28 bc I can’t tell the future
I’m speaking on what’s relevant to this thread and that is MLB the show 25

And you seem to think that a homerun that gets his BA up to about .124 on the year is some "gotcha" moment.
"This thread aged like milk..." Really?

Reread the op and see why I said that:
“Is Trout’s price going to drop if he doesn’t start hitting this week”
On the very same day a few hours later trout homers…
His price isn’t going anywhere anytime soon… if he homered or not today his price wasn’t going anywhere anytime soon
If you’ve played this game for longer than 3 years you would know this. If this is your first year playing then I’m letting you know how the market works with gate keeper cards
