This very rare parallel is limited to only fifty total copies in existence with far fewer having earned such a high assessment. The offered 36/50 example is held firmly within a stunning BGS 9.5/10 holder and easily represents one of the finest copies in existence. It's hard to believe that this card is so well preserved as it is a notoriously condition sensitive issue with its problematic surfaces and fragile periphery. The card sports pack fresh eye appeal and features a young Mike Trout during his MLB debut season. Pack fresh with virtually 50-50 alignment, untouched corners and crisp edges around. The exceedingly difficult surfaces are incredibly well preserved and seem deserving of a higher sub-grade. On top of these elite card qualities, the autograph is undeniably pristine and beautifully penned in blue ink. Mike Trout owns one of the most recognized brands in Major League Baseball and has put up Hall of Fame type numbers over his first nine seasons. Posting a ROY award, 3 MVP seasons and 8 All-Star appearances. Few professional athletes have performed at such a level to begin their career; many of whom have gone on to become some of the most iconic figures in sports: Tom Brady, Michael Jordan and Wayne Gretzky. All told, this is a world class investment opportunity, not to be missed. One of over 23, 000 cards, lots and sets up for bid in our 10th Auction of 2020.

Feb, 2018 Top 5% Eye appeal greatly affects market value. Since 2015 we at PWCC have designated cards in the top 30% of the market with our Certified Eye Appeal Program. These cards have statistically sold at auction for 130%-200%+ of market average, depending on the eye appeal assessment rendered. The premium paid for cards in the top 30% of the eye appeal scale reveals an investment trend largely in its infancy. As a key investment variable, the eye appeal of a vintage trading card seems destined to have an increasingly significant impact on market value for the foreseeable future. Investors are encouraged to take notice of this important variable and invest accordingly.

Any buyer who does not pay for an item will be permanently blocked from bidding with PWCC and reported to eBay. Payment Options In addition to paying direct through eBay, PWCC is proud to offer several additional options to enable easier payment for auction winnings including special financing and the option to submit cards to one of our auctions in lieu of payment. Please contact PWCC with any questions about these payment options. PWCC Return Policy Our return policy is not a no-questions-asked return policy. Returns are only accepted if an item is misrepresented in the auction title, description, images, email, or phone communication. Buyer's remorse is not a valid reason for return. We strive to be reasonable in the event of a disagreement and ask that buyers afford us the same level of fairness. Misrepresentation of an auction item is exceedingly rare. We at PWCC are not professional graders so we trust in the reputation and opinion of 3rd party professional graders. Professional grading is subjective and different 3rd party graders will often disagree over the grading on a single card. Such a disagreement is not a justifiable reason for a return with PWCC. As a broker of graded trading cards, our responsibility is the accurate description and delivery of the item advertised; not to guarantee how a graded card will be assessed by different grading company. Any issue a buyer has with a card's professional grade should be addressed with the company that graded the card. Returned items must be received back in the condition they were received. Original shipping as well as return shipping will be refunded along with the full purchase price upon receiving back a returned item. Auction Integrity Safeguarding the integrity of bidding on our auctions is our highest priority. For the trading card marketplace to function effectively, the honesty and integrity of the participants must be ensured. Collectors deserve a bidding environment that is 100% legitimate and free from manipulation by the auction house, consignors, friends of consignors, friends of the auction house, or anyone else who seeks to exert artificial influence on the sale price. Bid Monitoring PWCC proactively monitors the behavior of bidders. We reserve the right to contact bidders who place bids outside the guidelines outlined below, and in some cases, we will choose to cancel bids and block bidders from participating in our auctions. All bid retractions and cancellations that violate eBay’s policy are reported daily to eBay. eBay reserves the right to enforce its policies. Any username with recurrent bid retractions across the eBay platform will be blocked from participating in further PWCC auctions. "String bidding", or placing a series of sequential bids at the minimum bid increment, can be perceived as bid manipulation because the practice allows a bidder to expose the maximum bid of another bidder without becoming the high bidder himself or herself. Any instances of string bidding will be flagged by our team. In cases of clear manipulation, string bids will be cancelled and offenders will be blocked. We ask that the bidding community assist us in identifying concerning bid behavior on any of our auctions. Please notify PWCC of any suspicious behavior by sending an email to our bid monitoring team. Contact information can be found on our website under the “Buyers” tab. Thank you for helping us ensure the integrity of the marketplace.
