Demand Level
Moderate. Mike Trout is always in high demand among player collectors, but as a standard base card with high print runs, there is an oversupply in the market.

PSA 8: $10-15, PSA 9: $20-25, PSA 10: $45-60
Comparable Sales

Description
This is a base card of Mike Trout from the 2019 Bowman set. The design features a high-action shot of the Angels superstar tracking a pitch at the plate. The card has a modern gray and white border design with the iconic red Bowman 'B' logo in the top left corner and the Los Angeles Angels team logo in the bottom right.
Key Features
Features a multi-time MVP and future Hall of Famer Mike Trout; Card #1 in the set checklist; Iconic Bowman brand styling.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Card stock thickness, Topps/Bowman gloss finish, and the high-resolution printing of the micro-text on the back (not pictured but standard for set) are consistent with genuine 2019 product. This specific base card is rarely counterfeited due to its high production volume.
Flaws to Note
Slight right-to-left centering bias (approx 60/40); mild corner whitening visible on the bottom-right tip; faint horizontal print lines across the gray border sections common in 2019 Bowman base cards.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as a PWE/Standard Envelope listing), COMC (best for low-value bulk cards), or as part of a Mike Trout 'player lot' on Facebook Marketplace or Mercari.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card individually as the grading fees ($19+) exceed the raw value. List it using eBay's Standard Envelope service ($0.64 shipping) to remain competitive. Use keywords like 'Angels', 'HOF', and 'Center Field' to maximize search visibility.
