1952 Topps (Willie Mays)

In addition to the famous Mantle card, another valuable card that is part of the 1952 Topps set is the one featuring New York center fielder Willie Mays. The Hall of Famer is arguably the best centerfielder the MLB has ever seen. He is usually best remembered for “The Catch”, an incredible play that he made during the World Series in 1954. The card of the Yankees slugger may be more valuable than the 1952 Topps Willie Mays, but the card of the Say Hey Kid fetched $478,000 at an auction in 2016.

Another 1984 Fleer Update card and this time, it is of Kirby Puckett, who has become one of the most beloved and best baseball players of his generation. His accomplishments include being elected to American League All-Star teams ten times and winning the Gold Glove six times. This is the Hall of Famer’s first mainstream MLB card and it is one of two rookie cards that dominate the 1984 Fleer Update Baseball set. Its price depends on the grade but for a mint one, you can expect to get around $200 to $500.
