1911 ATC T206 (Joe Doyle)
A lot of players on this list have been elected to the Hall of Fame, but not Joe Doyle. He was quite a mediocre player who most people have already forgotten. You might be wondering how the tobacco company baseball card pulled in as much as $414,750. It is due to an error – the first version of the card says he plays for New York’s National League instead of the Yankees. This card is among the key rarities of the T206 set and is the hardest to find. Although Joe Doyle is not the most recognizable player in baseball history, this rarity is one of the hobby’s most valuable cards.

1954 Topps (Hank Aaron)
Once called the home run king, Hank Aaron is one of the best power hitters in baseball history. It should come as no surprise that the Hall of Famer has a card which will pull in the big bucks. He only has one rookie card – the 1954 Topps Hank Aaron card. These cards are in quite good condition because the printing techniques saw a big improvement that year. In 2012, a pristine copy of this card sold for more than $357,000, and we are pretty sure it would be worth more today. This card is actually one of the most important symbols in the baseball card world.
