Joe DiMaggio – Goudie 1948
The 1948 card of Joe DiMaggio is a special kind as it features a caricature drawing depicting a cartoonish backdrop. These are personalized in the sense that they are releases of the Yankee Clipper batch. After DiMaggio made his successful rounds in the sports, cards featuring his character started to surface. Of course, there are many different versions, but you are sure to get some extra cash if you have one with the cartoon feature. Interestingly, the ones without the cartoon features have a lower price.

Duke Snider – 1949 Bowman
Seeing we have highlighted the works of rookie stars like Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays, it is only fair we bring your attention to the likes of Duke Snider – the Duke of Flatbush. Snider’s career took sailing during the late 40s into early 50s, and was considered a worthy member of the Brooklyn Dodgers (center fielder). He was also a part of the “Boys of Summer” crew. The only person who stood out against him in fame and status was Jackie Robinson. Snider was right up there with the likes of Mantle, and when his card was printed, it was a must-have. In 2016, a card with a good grade rate scored a whopping $232,750.
