1933 Goudey (Napoleon Lajoie)
Aside from being a three-time batting champion, Napoleon Lajoie was also considered the era’s best defensive second baseman. His 1933 Goudey card is truly rare and there are only about 100 in existence. It is because the card did not come with the original set. To complete their set, collectors in 1934 needed to get the card from the manufacturer. Many cards were mailed with a paper clip attached to them, so there are impressions on their surface. Nevertheless, a PSA 9 copy of the 1933 Goudey Lajoie fetched $228,000 in November 2016.

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.
