Superfractors continue to gain popularity in the baseball market. They were first introduced in 2005 but it wasn’t until the Stephen Strasburg 2010 Bowman Chrome Prospects Superfractor surfaced and sold in 2010 that the Superfractor really took permanent root as the most sought after of all parallels of any card.
The Mike Trout Superfractor, while didn’t get nearly the same amount of hobby coverage as the Stephen Strasburg Superfractor, is one of the most significant cards in the entire hobby.

How much do you think the 2009 Charlie Blackmon superfractor will be worth ultimately
Future values can be difficult to predict but I would imagine the value of that card would ultimately relate to his performance on the field over time.
