To me that Griffey card will always be a reminder of how much I loved collecting as a kid. I still vividly remember going down to my local card shop, debating with my brother whether to buy a pack of UD rather then two packs of something else. I chose UD, and I pulled the Griffey!! It was iconic even then and my brother and I went crazy! I still have it, I always debate getting it graded, but never have. Thanks for adding it to the list!

Awesome story, I remember going to the card shop praying to pull a Dale Murphy Reverse Negative, never did, but the card shop owner had one under the glass for $150. Could not afford it as an 11 year old, but always drooled over it and dreamed of pulling it.

I like that video idea as well. I had a similar idea, but not sure exactly about the specific parameters. I was trying to think of cards that REALLY made an impact and their values reflected that (for a time. 3 mo? A year? 2 years?), and after they did their job, they became easily attainable or much easier to attain. Its ironic, but the only 2 cards I can think of are both crossover cards. BO (THE card I based this idea around) and good ol' SP1.

This is why anyone with any real love for the hobby should follow you. You inspire great conversation about the hobby and to be honest I was concerned that the comments would be bad. But with a few exceptions you have generated the kind of conversations that makes the hobby truly enjoyable. Keep up the great work! Since I have been in the hobby since 1982 I wondered if 1984 Donruss Mattingly would have been here. It changed the hobby significantly and I believe it brought about the Upper Deck company and the Griffey. Great list.

Great video Chris - enjoyed your list and really can’t argue with your order. I just wanted to add another iconic rookie card that pumped a lot of enthusiasm into basketball card collecting in 1992-93 was Shaquille O’Neal. I remember doing a card show in the fall of 92 where I was the only dealer in the room that had the recently released Fleer Ultra Shaq rookie. I have never felt so much POWER in my life at a card show! Everyone - dealers, collectors, visitors - all wanted the Fleer Ultra that I had! I sold out of the 1 case that I had and remember going home with $1500! (Wow - that seems like pennies compared too today’s sales - but back then that was huge!) I just think Shaq cards are undervalued and under appreciated for what he did for the hobby back in the early 90’s. Ted

Awesome list, thanks for posting. In the late 1980s when I began collecting baseball cards, I remember reading an article about the most desirable baseball cards of all time. The 1933 Goudey Babe Ruth #53 was on that list. I promised myself that if I could, someday I would own that card. In 2004 I bought a 1933 Goudey Babe Ruth #53, PSA grade 3. I still have it. It is the centerpiece of my collection, and something I’m proud of. It meant a lot to me, seeing that card on your list, and it brought back great memories. Thank you. Your videos are what keep great memories of card collecting alive, as well as reigniting my interest in the hobby.

Great list, Chris! Thought the 1971 Munson might have made the list because of its iconic action image. The only top 10 I have is the Bird/Magic rookie. I removed the Magic from the card and put it in my autograph book after getting his signature around 1984. He signed the book, not the card. At least people know it's a real signature since no one in their right mind would separate the card over a fake autograph. Still have the Bird/Dr. J part connected. Still have the autograph book with the Magic taped next to his signature.

Aloha Chris, to say I look forward to your videos is an understatement, truly amazed with each episode. I remember back in the 70’s collecting when Renata Galasso was just starting out and yearly Beckett guidelines were like mini phone books. The greatest card all collectors looked up to was Honus Wagner and it all started with the story and small number know to exist, which was thought to be well under 20. We never got the chance to see one in real life. I remember a card show in Pittsburgh with the opportunity to buy a 33 Goudey Ruth card vg-ex for under $100 dollars. As a kid the fresh packs seemed the better more exciting buy, so you know which I chose. Would have been nice to say I owned that iconic card at one time. All the best in 2022. Love the hobby!

Surprised 84 Donruss Mattingly wasn't on the list. Or at least mentioned. Might not be as big now but had a massive impact on the hobby. Mike Trout might be the current day Mattingly. I'd wouldn't have put the Ruth up there. Don't get me wrong I'll take the Ruth over the Mattingly but I'm not sure that Ruth card is known by anyone not deep into vintage where as in 80s the mattingly was known by people who didn't collect cards at all.

I agree with the Jose canseco argument. I'm sure who's the most relevant player is somewhat regional as well. But I don't care who you are if you were brought up around baseball or knew anything about it you knew about babe Ruth ty Cobb shoeless Joe Jackson honus Wagner Willie Mays Hank Aaron Ted Williams Sandy Koufax Jackie Robinson Roberto Clemente even Ricky Vaughn and Willie Mays Hayes you name a vintage player that had an impact on the game and you should know them through being around the game. Baseball osmosis. I compare it to golf if you've been around golf watch golf or know anything about golf you know who Bobby Jones Jack Nicklaus and tiger woods were. tiger may be more relevant or Jack to your age but you owe it to yourself to know about Bobby Jones and respect the man and history.

I would agree with most of the list except that I would have Wagner as number 1 since it's not only the most valuable card, but also by far the rarest card by a wide margin. And it was the card that got cards off the ground and exploding in value in the late 1970's when cards first took off. I would have Willie Mays on the list and ahead of Jackie Robinson since Mays is considered the greatest all around player for power, average, speed and fielding by more fans than any other player. But either way; a great list and a super fun video as always!

The Jordan rookie I had as a kid would've made your "Run over by a truck" division list 🤣 I have no idea what ever happened to it. Wish I still had it.

Great list, hoped the Aaron rookie was going to make the list but with so many certainly iconic cards it would be extremely tough to put together that list and remain unbiased with you own favourites. Great content as always!

1984 Donruss Don Mattingly I feel changed the hobby in the mid 1980's. I feel it should have been included. You included some of what are now highly valued cards but didn't have the impact that card did.

The Billy Ripken FF card probably has to be a 2nd tier honorable mention. Had there ever been an error + corrected card prior to the FF card? Certainly the most famous and still has some value today.

T206 Cobb, 54 Aaron, 33 Gehrig , 51 Mays, etc.... too many cards to choose ... but 54 Aaron I think definitely should be on this list...

Nice list. Most of my collection consists of PSA 9s; I wish they appreciated in value a bit faster (most bought in the early 2010s).

Was coming in wondering if I would see Ted Williams mentioned... had to look it up, but there's the 1939 Play Ball Ted Williams RC that seems pretty (in)famous

As a kid the most iconic card for me was the Griffey and as an adult, I was able to buy a nice copy. Good thing it wasn't any of the other cards on the list. I would be out of luck as nice copies are way out of my price range.

Great list. Personally I'd put the Wagner as #1 since many that know nothing about sports cards are aware of this legendary card.

What do you think the value of the 1933 goudey set is worth? I know it all depends on the condition they are in. But approximately. There is one seller on eBay that’s selling three different sets based on condition. Just curious what do you think they are valued. Thanks

Its all based on condition. A super low grade set could be low 5 figures and a super high grade set could be 7 figures

Very well thought out, Chris! Obviously, you put a lot of effort into this list. Interesting to see where you had the LeBron RC. I would have placed that card at #10 and bumped the others up 1 notch. Otherwise, you nailed it! Truly iconic cards shouldn't fluctuate so dramatically in value like that card has. Would like to have seen the Jim Brown RC on the list, but I'm not sure who to boot! Nice job.

Proud to say I own 1 of the "future contenders" ...Mahomie!!! & it's a rarer version! :) My fav modern card because I pulled it, Hey Chris! I forgot to tell you, I almost emailed you but I am an STL Cardinal Fan, I don't open a lot of wax but bought a few boxes of Topps Holiday and I pulled a Dylan Carlson AutoGraph #ed /50! I just love it!! I don't have very many to share my card stories so thought I would tell you, I know you can apprecaite it. I know you dont open many packs and I dont either, I use to when I was younger so for me to pull the Mahomes and now the Carlson, being a Chiefs and Cardinals fan maybe I should open more packs! 🤣 Anyhow thanks as always for the video, great idea! Have a great day brother!

Love this list and your list of sales by grade. I mostly agree. You need to add in the sp jeter. It can replace lebron or Griffey. I guess I’d leave Griffey in there if you’re just looking at hobby influence and impact.
