2009 Bowman Sterling Refractor Mike Trout ROOKIE RC AUTO /199 BGS 9.5 GEM MINT
Premier Modern Era Investment Piece
Offered here is an earth-shattering Mike Trout rookie card which is widely considered to be his most important and desired issue. This elusive specimen really speaks to the hearts of investors due to its fragility and patriotic American League Eagle logo in the background. Only a handful of these cards surface to the open market each year, so when one does finally present itself, its aggressively pursued by investors. What we have here is a brilliantly preserved, true GEM MINT+ #190/199 example, boasting incredible print and color. The card is perfectly aligned from all sides with even GEM MINT corners and edges. The fragile surfaces are very impressive with no visual wear present. Free of typical imperfections with tremendous gloss and a dazzling silver inlay which highlights a pristine blue ink autograph. Trout continues to put up MVP number ever year and holds one of the best brands in sports. He is undeniably the face of Baseball for the simple reason that he plays with a 'love of the game' attitude. We love this card, not just for what it is, but for the potential future it has. Comes highly recommended by PWCC. One of over 25,000 cards, lots and sets up for bid in our 11th Auction of 2020. Click on the link above to view the other PWCC auction lots.

Marketplace Trust
Safeguarding the integrity of bidding on our auctions is our highest priority. For the trading card marketplace to function effectively, the honesty and integrity of the participants must be ensured. Collectors deserve a legitimate marketplace, free from manipulation by the auction house, consignors, friends of consignors, friends of the auction house, or anyone else who seeks to exert artificial influence on the sale price.
For details of the procedures we use to monitor our Marketplace, please refer to our website under the Marketplace Tenants tab.
Commitment to Purchase
Placing a bid in our auction demonstrates a commitment to complete the purchase. Any buyer who does not pay for an item will be permanently blocked from bidding with PWCC and reported to eBay.
Payment Options
In addition to paying direct through eBay, PWCC is proud to offer several additional options to enable easier payment for auction winnings including the option to submit cards to one of our auctions in lieu of payment. Please contact PWCC with any questions about these payment options.
PWCC Return Policy
Returns are only accepted if an item is misrepresented in the auction title, description, images, email, or phone communication. Buyer's remorse is not a valid reason for return. We strive to be reasonable in the event of a disagreement and ask that buyers afford us the same level of fairness. Misrepresentation of an auction item is exceedingly rare.
We at PWCC are not professional graders so we trust in the reputation and opinion of 3rd party professional graders. Professional grading is subjective and different 3rd party graders will often disagree over the grading on a single card. Such a disagreement is not a justifiable reason for a return with PWCC.
As a broker of graded trading cards, our responsibility is the accurate description and delivery of the item advertised; not to guarantee how a graded card will be assessed by different grading company. Any issue a buyer has with a card's professional grade should be addressed with the company that graded the card.
Auction Integrity
Safeguarding the integrity of bidding on our auctions is our highest priority. For the trading card marketplace to function effectively, the honesty and integrity of the participants must be ensured. Collectors deserve a bidding environment that is 100% legitimate and free from manipulation by the auction house, consignors, friends of consignors, friends of the auction house, or anyone else who seeks to exert artificial influence on the sale price.
Bid Monitoring
PWCC proactively monitors the behavior of bidders. We reserve the right to contact bidders who place bids outside the guidelines outlined below, and in some cases, we will choose to cancel bids and block bidders from participating in our auctions.
- All bid retractions and cancellations that violate eBay’s policy are reported daily to eBay. eBay reserves the right to enforce its policies.
- Any username with recurrent bid retractions across the eBay platform will be blocked from participating in further PWCC auctions.
- "String bidding", or placing a series of sequential bids at the minimum bid increment, can be perceived as bid manipulation because the practice allows a bidder to expose the maximum bid of another bidder without becoming the high bidder himself or herself. Any instances of string bidding will be flagged by our team. In cases of clear manipulation, string bids will be cancelled and offenders will be blocked.
We ask that the bidding community assist us in identifying concerning bid behavior on any of our auctions. Please notify PWCC of any suspicious behavior by sending an email to our bid monitoring team. Contact information can be found on our website under the “Buyers” tab. Thank you for helping us ensure the integrity of the marketplace.
