1909 T206 (Eddie Plank)
Another card from the amazing T206 set! This version of Eddie Plank is believed to be the second most valuable and rarest card in the deck. Only Honus Wagner himself is ahead of the pitcher! There are a few reasons why this card is really valuable and rare. According to PSAcard.com, “The most prevalent theory is that the card suffered from a poor printing plate, resulting in many of the cards being destroyed since they could not pass quality control. Besides, many of the known examples are found with poor centering from top to bottom. The centering can be so severe that it will cut into the text along the bottom.”

1887 Old Judge (Cap Anson)
The 1887 Old Judge card of Cap Anson is the oldest on this list! Many collectors and experts think this is the most important set of 19th century cards because of the large variety of players and the number of variants in the series. These cards were packed in Gypsy Queen and Old Judge Cigarette packs and had to survive traveling more than a hundred years to reach collections today. Of all the cards in the set, the Cap Anson one, specifically the In Uniform variation, is the most valuable. It is super rare and there are only a few copies in existence.
