If we didn't pull the card ourselves live on YouTube and Instagram, we wouldn't have believed it. Moments ago, we pulled a pack-fresh Mike Trout X-FRACTOR rookie card /299 from 2011 Tops Finest in our card breaks!
Earlier this week, we ripped a box of 2011 Topps Update and went hunting for a Mike Trout rookie card. We pulled a pack-fresh Trout rookie for Josh Hicks! The itch came and you asked us to offer another product with possible Trout rookie cards. On the same night that Trout was named to his 10th MLB All-Star game, we broke a box of 2011 Topps Finest. It would be impossible to pull another rookie card of the three-time MVP from a pack that hasn't seen the light of day in 12 years, right? Hold our beer.
😱 Whoa.
If you're wondering why our breakers, J5 and JK went hard on that celebration and hugged it out like Ari Gold and E in Entourage - this is no ordinary Mike Trout rookie. This is the X-Fractor version numbered /299!
Take a look at the back:
193/299 on this X-Fractor sitting in pack 11 for Josh Pugh. Congrats, Josh, on this MONSTER FISH. A young Trout is running the bases on the front with the sparkle background and the iconic Topps RC logo in the top left.
2011 Topps Finest was released in August of 2011. To think a numbered Trout rookie sat in this pack for so long - you were still using the first ever iPad (January 2010) when this box hit shelves. We were still only on Fast 5 in the movies, and LMFAO's Party Rock Anthem was still cool to listen to.
This is why we stream all of our breaks LIVE! We want you to see your cards pulled, and we love when you come and watch the fun. Our chat is always open and we love to hear from you!

Vintage Breaks offers THE BEST VALUE IN BREAKING.
When you check out for a spot on the site, the price you see is the price you pay. Taxes and shipping are included! Your cards always come protected in holders. The last time you mailed a package out had to have set you back more than three bucks, right? If you buy a $3.00 spot, you get your card holdered and shipped for that price.
Lack of product in stores has been a problem; we see the same empty shelves that you do. If you can't find cards, Vintage Breaks is your solution.
