Trout

So I got lucky and pulled a Trout tonight. Woo! But now comes the question: Keep or sell?

I know in PT19, Trout was routinely selling for 25-30k, but I notice this year he's up at the 80k mark for average sales. If I were only going to get 30 back, I'd keep him since his card is pretty damn sweet, and he's my favourite current player so I really do want to keep him.

But 80k is a lot of value back, a lot more packs to open, and can probably go a long way to setting up the rest of the roster. Average pack luck probably gives you 3 Diamonds and 8-9 gold cards, maybe even a little more than that, plus probably another 50/50 shot at another perfect card.

So, keep or sell?

Sell. One player does not a team make

Keep. If Trout were a historical card he'd pull in hundreds of thousands of PP. You can't get better value from 80k.

Of course, you could sell now, keep half the PP in the bank and hope for a market correction to lower his price in a few weeks.

That 80k last 5 isn't a good figure to base his market on. I pulled one in the middle of the week, saw there were none up on the AH, put him up for a BIN of 150K and he lasted maybe half an hour. Everyone is Trout crazy right now, take advantage of the waaaaaay inflated price. If you post him for 150k and don't get any takers you can always just keep him...

I agree with the sell people, love Trout but I'm in pack rippin mode.

80 packs opened is 80 packs closer to a perfect Pedro.....at least that's what I tell myself....
