MIKE TROUT 2010 Cedar Rapids Perfect Game USA pre rookie BCCG 10 MINT AL MVP

Description: Winning buyer will receive the pictured pre rookie / FIRST professional minor league card of LA Angels superstar outfielder, MIKE TROUT. This Trout pre rookie/first minor league rookie card is from the 2010 Cedar Rapids Kernels team issued team set made by Perfect Game USA. Note this Perfect Game USA Trout rookie is the much harder to find single from the Kernels team set and not the MASS produced Rising Alumni cards with blue, green or red borders which were printed AFTER 2010. For long term investment/value and collect-ability, minor league cards are the way to go due to their very limited production (most team sets are produced in quantities of 3000 or less with some as little as only 750 sets!! There are probably over hundred thousand Trout Topps Update cards out there...but less than 3000 of these Perfect Game USA Trout cards around! I do have the rest of the team set if interested for $5 more. Having the entire team set is one way to know you're buying the legit card. Counterfeiters reprint only the hot card but not the entire team set. Note that the picture is the EXACT scan of the card winning buyer will be receiving!! Trout is the 2016 and 2014 AL MVP, along with two second place MVP finish in 2013 and 2015 as well as 2012, when he won the AL Rookie of the Year unanimously (got all 28 1st place votes)! That means in 5 full MLB seasons, Trout has been voted either #1 or #2 for the AL MVP! Trout is only 25 years old at the end of the 2016 season. This card has been professionally graded a BCCG 10 (which is MINT or better!!), by Beckett Collectors Club Grading, a service of Beckett Grading Services, one of the top two grading services in the sports card industry. Why buy a graded card by either Beckett Grading Services (BGS/BCCG) or PSA? Because Beckett and PSA are the top two 3rd party grading companies in the collectibles industry. Why buy a graded card in the first place? Because if you want your card to appreciate in value, the condition of the card is very important. Having the card sealed in the case & it's condition graded allows you to easily sell/trade the card online. CLICK HERE to get a look at our EBAY store which contains many other awesome sports cards! Shipping is $3.75 for the first card and $0.75 for each additional card in the United States. International orders go through eBay's Global Shipping program. A portion of the proceeds from this listing will be sent to the world relief organization World Help. I am partnering with them to build a deep bore water well in a 3rd world country. This water well will provide clean/usable water for a community of up to 1000 people! Thanks in advance for your contribution towards this cause.Update 8/16/20 - as eBay has required me to switch over to "managed payment", I will need to adjust each of my listings one at a time for the charitable contribution part. Though my listings now do not say so specifically about the charity contribution, I will continue to deduct 10% off every sale and send those proceeds to TWO different charities I am fundraising for. One charity, World Help, drills and installs water wells that provide clean/usable water for villages of up to 1,000 people per location in Africa. Fundraising recently completed funds needed for water well #3 so thank you to everyone that has purchased from this store over the last 4 years...you played a part in that! The other 5% will go to an orphanage call Nueva Esperanza Children's Home in Tijuana, Mexico. This orphanage cares for 30+ children and is run completely from donations from people. I have visited the orphanage 4 times over the past 10 years and it's a joy to see the children each time. So rest assure that 10% of your purchase is going to these causes.
