Cal Ripken Jr. – 1982 Topps Traded
Many of the 1982 rookie cards can be quite expensive, but none really has the value that the Topps Traded Cal Ripken Jr. card has. Ripken was known as the “Iron Man,” and if you have a card with his photo in such a good condition, you could be sitting on a few hundred dollars. However, you have to ensure you keep the back of the card intact as they can get damaged easily. Thus, the reason for the many grades available for the cards.

Jerry Koosman, Nolan Ryan – 1968 Topps Rookie
The 1990s saw many cards coming through, but the ones with the highest price tags belonged to the Topps collection that featured the star, Frank Thomas. This particular card is considered irregular and is said to be a direct error type. However, it does not feature a title on either side, making it a valuable card with an expensive tag. Having one of these cards in such a good condition means it could be worth thousands of dollars or even more than that.
