1955 Topps (Sandy Koufax)

His career may have been cut short by injuries, but Koufax was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame back in 1972 at the age of 36. He is the youngest player to become a Hall of Famer. That shows how dominant he was at his peak. A copy of the left-handed pitcher’s Koufax card that received a PSA 9 was sold for $215,100 at an auction in August of 2018. From that time, only three copies of the 1955 Topps Koufax card have been graded PSA 10.

1914 Boston Garter (Joe Jackson)

This card was meant for a window display of a clothing store, and it is thought that there are only six copies of the 1914 Boston Garter Jackson cards right now. A copy of the card with a Sportscard Guaranty 70 (the equivalent of a PSA 5.5) was sold for $204,000 in August 2007. We can only imagine the value of this rare card these days. The 1914 Boston Garter Jackson is still among the most handsome baseball cards ever produced.
