Mickey Mantle – 1951 Bowman
Mickey Mantle has always been a classic, and it’s no wonder he makes this list more than once. The 1951 Bowman version is a little lower in price than the Topps version, but that doesn’t detract from the fact that it is of great value. The 1951 Bowman card is basically the only true and original selection of the player’s rookie state. Having a card in good condition could get you well over half a million dollars. The player is also a role model for many young and upcoming baseball lovers.
Eddie Plank – 1909 T209
These Eddie Plank 1909 T209 cards were not much in production and are considered one of history’s best creations of the Hall of Fame legend. Plank’s level of greatness is immeasurable and matches second in class to Honus Wagner. According to a report issued by Old Sports Cards, they noted the material used in the production of the cards was below par, and as such, a lot of the cards got damaged over the years. The centering of the card production was not in line, which helped to cause it to wreck easily.
