Here is a nice list of his rookies that would make a beautiful centerpiece for anyones collection, a good majority of these were graded through BGS, as at the time was the choice of grader for prospecting baseball. How many of them made a cross over to PSA is unknown, but we can be sure that the population report for these on BGS is probably off a bit number wise.
2011 Topps Update #US175 Mike Trout
The price range on these varies very highly dependent on grade, a PSA 9 can be picked up for around $1000-1400, while a PSA 10 may run you as high as $5,000 for the white bordered paper back rookie.
2011 Topps Finest #94 Mike Trout
Raw these Topps Finest rookies can be picked up for around $150, with PSA 9 starting around $600-900. The PSA 10 version of this card goes for approximately $1300-1500.
2011 Bowman Chrome and Bowman Draft
Both of these cards are in the same range as above, anywhere from $600 in a grade 9, to $1500 in a 10
2009 Bowman Chrome #BDPP89 Mike Trout rookie autograph.
These cards have jumped up tremendously since 2014, when they used to float around $1100, now a BGS 9.5 example sells for around $25,000 - $30,000, while refractor's, x-fractor's, and colored numbered variations can easily reach 6 figures. The Super Fractor 1/1 variation of this Mike Trout rookie card sold for a record $3.93 million dollars in in August of 2020 by Las Vegas handicapper Vegas Dave who originally purchased the card for $500,000. Many called Vegas Dave crazy for the purchase, but he seemed very prophetic when breaking the new record. He also sold the card during the height of the sports card boom, so it may not reach that price point for a while again.

I try to write articles based on gem mint pricing, because that's what most collectors want these days, however seeing some reasonable pricing on 10's should automatically let collectors know who don't care too much about condition and just "gotta have that card" know they can get lower graded or raw cards more in their price range if they are looking.
