1910 Standard Caramel E93 (Honus Wagner)

Cobb may be the best hitter in his time, but Wagner was part of the “First Five” and got elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1936, along with Cobb, Ruth, Christy Mathewson, and Walter Johnson. “The Flying Dutchman” is sure to be included in any list of the ten greatest baseball players of all time. Aside from being considered the best shortstop featured in the Cracker Jack Collection, Honus Wagner is also probably the greatest shortstop in history. In September 2018, a PSA 9 copy of the 1910 Standard Caramel Wagner pulled in a whopping $218,550.
