Mike Trout Game Used Stubs Autographed Debut, First Cycle, First Homerun. Grail

Mike Trout Game Used Stubs Autographed Debut, First Cycle, First Homerun. Each ticket has been encapsulated and graded by PSA. Presented is a collection of three full tickets from significant moments in the career of arguably the greatest baseball player of his generation, Mike Trout. Tickets included in the collection.

Encapsulated and graded MINT 9 by PSA, with signature graded "10" by PSA/DNA (50132495). Among a total of 80 examples of this piece in the PSA/DNA Certified database, only four have been graded higher. The offered full ticket is from Trout's MLB debut. Trout made his MLB debut on July 8, 2011, during the Angels' 4-3 win over the Seattle Mariners.

A highly touted prospect, Trout would debut to much fanfare after his abrupt call-up to the Majors, with national media paying keen attention to his first game. Trout would bat 0-3, clearly not a portent of things to come, as he would be named AL Rookie of the Year in 2012. The "Millville Meteor" himself has signed his name in blue felt tip marker along the middle of the ticket, adding the inscription 1st MLB Game 7-8-11. Encapsulated and graded NM 7 by PSA, with signature graded "10" by PSA/DNA (50132499). The second full ticket in this collection is from the next night, on July 9, 2011, when Trout logged his first career Major League hit. Trout hit an infield single against Seattle Mariners pitcher Michael Pineda in the bottom of the third inning. Less than a month later, he was sent back to Double-A Arkansas for the remainder of the 2011 season, where he was named the Baseball Minor League Player of the Year.

Trout has signed this ticket in blue felt tip marker with the inscription 1st MLB Hit. Encapsulated and graded NM-MT 8 by PSA, with signature graded "8" by PSA/DNA (50132493).

Among 14 examples in this piece in the PSA/DNA Certified database, only one other shares this grade, with none graded higher. The final full ticket in this collection is from Trout's first career-hitting cycle. Hitting a single, a double, a triple, and a home run in the same game is one of the rarest accomplishments in a sport filled with some of the most daunting records in professional sports.

Trout joined that prestigious club when he hit for the cycle during the Los Angeles Angels' 12-0 victory over the Seattle Mariners on May 21, 2013. Trout, who drove in five RBI during the lopsided victory, became the youngest American League player and third-youngest in MLB history when he accomplished the feat, adding more fuel to his meteoric rise in the MLB.

Trout has once again signed the offered ticket in blue felt tip marker, adding "1st MLB Cycle" along with his signature. This is a rare opportunity to acquire signed and inscribed tickets from three of the most significant games to-date in Mike Trout's surefire Hall of Fame career.
