1984 Fleer Update (Roger Clemens)
This is another 1984 Fleer Update card – the most valuable Roger “The Rocket” Clemens rookie card. The Rocket was among the best pitchers in the 1980s, the 1990s, and even the 2000s, and for a power pitcher, that is incredible longevity. He had an illustrious career but his reputation went downhill when he was accused of steroid use. This even stopped him from being elected to the Hall of Fame. Luckily, these things did not lessen the card’s value, and it still sells pulls in between $200 and $400 if the card is in good shape.
1963 Topps (Pedro Gonzalez/Ken McMullen/Pete Rose/Al Weis)
Pete Rose is not called baseball’s all-time Hit King for nothing. He holds the record for the most career hits in the MLB. He is also the main reason that this 4-player rookie card fetched around $70,000. A copy of sold for $717,700 in 2016. What could be the reason behind it selling for this much money? The particular card got a grade of 10! Finding a perfect card, especially one that is this old, is very rare. Also, this 1963 Topps card is often found with poor centering and print defects, and its blue colored top border is highly susceptible to chipping.
