This is a list of Sergio Romo rookie cards, including parallel cards for each set. He has official RC cards dating back to 2008, with the 2008 Just Autograph being the only signed versions. His Bowman cards from 2008, especially the rare parallel cards sell for decent money. In 2012 companies made cards that have the RC logo on them, however Sergio had been apart of the Giants since the 2009 season.

In 2010 Sergio won a World Series for the Giants, mainly serving as the set-up man to closer Brian Wilson. Two years later, Wilson is hurt, and Sergio takes over as the Giants closer – again winning a World Series title in 2012. His personality makes him a fan favorite in San Francisco. His slider makes him very hard to hit.

Considered one of the Angels (and baseball’s) best prospects since being drafted, Mike Trout played a few stints in the MLB before getting what seems to be his major call-up on April 28, 2012. Most people know that Mike Trout can hit the ball at a high level, but he also runs the bases well and can be an impact player once on-base.

Trout basically dominated the minor leagues, and will now have to prove himself to teammates and collectors in the major leagues. His 2009 Autograph cards are heavily collected, but collectors also search for his 2010-2011 cards as well. While some players values fall once they get their shot in the majors (Brandon Belt) … Trout has plenty of support in the Angels lineup and is expected to shine in the MLB. At the time of his call-up in late April 2012 the base 2009 Bowman Chrome Auto was selling for about $120. Parallel versions were selling for a few hundred or more. Many people have graded Trout’s cards by now and you can find copies from PSA and BGS in all different kinds of grades.

Keep in mind this is just a list of the main sets, for example Trout has refractor parallels in all the Bowman products – and you may want to hunt those down if you are trying to build a master set of all his cards. This list should help get you started with all the sets that have his cards.

The cards listed above are his most traded cards from early in his career. Keep in mind there are multiple parallel & autograph variations within each of these sets. I would consider his ‘best RC cards’ to be: 2007 Bowman Sterling Autograph (seen above) + Donruss Elite Autograph #/500 + 2008 Bowman Chrome Prospects Autograph #BCP126. His 2010 cards feature the MLB (RC) logo and are fun to collect as well. On opening day April 1, 2011 – JP Arencibia went 3-4 with 2 HR and 1 Triple for the Toronto Blue Jays.
