1954 Bowman (Mickey Mantle)
Mickey Mantle is among the most popular sports figures in history, so it should not come as a surprise that his baseball cards are extremely valuable. In 1998, Mantle was included in the list of “Baseball’s 100 Greatest Players”. That is why vintage Mantle cards with a high grade always fetch such high amounts. To prove this point, a 1954 Bowman Mantle (PSA 9) – a fourth-year Mantle – pulled in $204,000 in May 2017.

1914 Boston Garter (Ty Cobb)
Almost impossible to find, the 1914 Boston Garter Ty Cobb card only has one copy that has been graded by the PSA or SGC. This card is part of the window display series that is all too rare. In August 2018, a copy of the 1914 Boston Garter Cobb which received Sportscard Guaranty 50 (equivalent to PSA 4) sold for an impressive $204,000. Ty Cobb is the first winner of a Baseball Hall of Fame bronze plaque.
