2000 T & F Camera Mike Trout Little League Card with Trout Family Provenance Incredible True Rookie Card.
This is one of two cards which are the earliest known Mike Trout cards on the planet. The other card is in our auction too. This card is the earliest known Trout Card, considered a true rookie card, in the world.
The center fielder's parents signed their son up for the Millville National youth baseball league in their hometown of Millville, New Jersey, in 1998. A couple of years later, in 2000, Trout's team got their own baseball cards.
The Little Leaguer is seen wearing his Yankees team uniform and cap while posing in a batting stance, surrounded by a red, white, blue and black border on the front. On the back, the card shares player information, such as Trout's age (8), height (4'1"), weight (65 lbs), positions (shortstop/pitcher) and his favorite MLB player at the time (Derek Jeter).
This card has been encapsulated and authenticated by CGC. This could be your only chance to acquire the earliest known pair of Trout Rookie cards in the world (See Lot 122), coming directly from Trout’s family. We cannot stress enough the importance of this card.
Authentication: Letter of Provenance and a Gotta Have Rock and Roll Certificate of Authenticity.
