1954 Topps (Hank Aaron)
Once called the home run king, Hank Aaron is one of the best power hitters in baseball history. It should come as no surprise that the Hall of Famer has a card which will pull in the big bucks. He only has one rookie card – the 1954 Topps Hank Aaron card. These cards are in quite good condition because the printing techniques saw a big improvement that year. In 2012, a pristine copy of this card sold for more than $357,000, and we are pretty sure it would be worth more today. This card is actually one of the most important symbols in the baseball card world.
1909 T206 ‘Bat Off Shoulder’ (Ty Cobb)
The 1909-1911 T206 set is arguably the ultimate issue in the hobby and any card from it is bound to be really valuable. The Ty Cobb cards have four variants which differ in appearance, scarcity and popularity. The “Bat on the Shoulder” card is a bit less valuable compared to the “Bat Off Shoulder” variant because the latter has more high-quality copies that have surfaced. Although the price range of these cards is quite wide, a copy can be expected to fetch six figures.
