My realistic Holy Grail card is absolutely the 2011 Topps Update Mike Trout, as he is quickly becoming one of the top 5 greatest players of all time.
2017 Trout stats: 17th best BA, 22nd most HRs, not in top 50 for RBI
2018 Trout stats: 5th best BA, 4th most HRs, not in top 50 for RBI
2019 Trout stats so far: 17th best BA, 7th most HRs, 12th most RBI
Good? Yes. Top 5 greatest all-time? Yikes! I would put him maybe in top 50.
Are you basing it on his charisma with the fans? Or, that he plays in LA? No matter what you guys say, I have to disagree that he is one of the greatest all-time.
