1909 T206 *Error (Sherry Magee)

Sherry Magee was an RBI leader in the National League four times, but that is not the reason a PSA 8 copy of his 1909 T206 card fetched $660,000 in September 2018. It was an error – his name was spelled “Magie” in the first version of the card. A corrected version was later released and printed in higher quantities, though. Along with the Eddie Plank and Honus Wagner ones, Magee’s card is one of the big rarities from the T206 set and perhaps the most famous card with an error in the entire hobby. Despite the debate, most hobbyists feel you can only truly complete the T206 series if you have this card.

1910 T210 Old Mill (Joe Jackson)

There are only a handful of Joe Jackson cards that were made during his playing days, and this card is one of them. The Black Sox scandal happened 100 years ago and it has been three decades since “Field of Dreams”, but “Shoeless Joe” continues to fascinate people. In fact, a PSA 3.5 copy of the T210 Old Mill Joe Jackson sold for a whopping $600,000 in 2019. Even though this card features Jackson as a minor leaguer, many collectors still prefer this to the E90-1 American Caramel because the player is more recognizable here and the pose is more striking.
