Mike Trout’s 2009 rookie baseball card — an autographed Bowman Draft Chrome Red Refractor — sold Wednesday at Goldin Auctions for $900,000, tying the modern record for a sports card.
A LeBron James/Michael Jordan card with pieces of game-worn jerseys from both players, also sold for $900,000 in February.
The 2009 Trout card features the Los Angeles Angels outfielder’s first autograph in an MLB uniform and is one of only five in existence. (A one-of-a-kind Trout Superfractor card sold for $400,000 in May 2018.)
