Angels center fielder Mike Trout is the consensus pick as baseball's best player—his three MVP awards, eight All-Star selections and seven Silver Slugger awards surely help build his case.
Now, Trout can add another superlative to his name: he's just set the record for highest-priced modern-day baseball card ever sold.
Trout's autographed rookie card sold for $922,500 at Goldin Auctions in Runnemede, New Jersey, on Thursday, making it the highest price ever fetched for a modern-day baseball card, according to Action Network's Darren Rovell.
The card was listed alongside other in-demand memorabilia, including items and cards of Michael Jordan, LeBron James and Kobe Bryant.
