Smashing BIN: Mike Trout Red and the Power of Contrarian Collecting with Jason (@contrarian_cards)
Jason (@contrarian_cards) is back on Stacking Slabs, and this time he’s walking us through one of his boldest Buy It Now decisions: the 2021 Topps Chrome Sapphire Mike Trout Red /5 PSA 9.
We talk through what made this card worth smashing BIN, how it fits into his broader collecting style, and why going against the grain often leads to the most rewarding pickups.
From Trout to other cards he's chased this year, Jason breaks down his thought process as a collector who stays focused, intentional, and unapologetically contrarian.
If you’re trying to build a collection that reflects your perspective—not the hobby’s hype—this episode’s for you.
