Top 10 Most Valuable Baseball Cards

[@PoppaBlue59]

And to think...I traded both of my Honus Wagners for an A Rod. Dammit.

[@scottcartwright9008]

PoppaBlue59 u trade for that stariod cheat haha sucks for u

[@camman6912]

Yea and I sold my 69 Camaro for 2000 bucks Yea damn it!!!

[@scottcartwright9008]

Don Dressel aroid

[@jason66801]

i seriously hope you are kidding

[@bricethompson1922]

Oh the pain one just sold for 6 mil

[@daveidmarx8296]

Where are the Eddie Plank + Sherry Magie (sic) T206 cards? Also, the Ty Cobb T206 with the Cobb back should be on this list as well. Finally, that Bill Ripken error from the 1989 Fleer set deserves a spot on this coveted list! (Okay, I'm joking about that last one, but the other three definitely should be here somewhere).

[@nettuno2067]

And Roger Maris?

[@larryloveless2967]

My Dad's father grew up a big Honus Wagner baseball fan and lived in Warren, Ohio. The ball teams back then traveled some to surrounding areas so maybe that was a factor but there were relatives in New Castle PA. I remember my Dad once going through all his Dad's things just at the remote chance of finding a Honus Wagner card in our basement in STL Cards fan from STL.

[@larryloveless2967]

@@timmyotoole7312 I recently read many have done the same. I think it is so rare because they were tobacco based baseball cards cards he did not want of him

[@studywar7075]

@lu2353 perhaps yours is a re-print? Check if your card on the rear bottom, it should say the year it was printed. If it says anything other than 1933, its a re-print of the original, and not worth anywhere near as much.

[@docdonhall]

OK please tell me that someone is joking when they put up the Tcard of Wagner and they call him a SECOND BASEMAN!! One of the greatest SHORTSTOPS ever to play and they can't get it right on a list.

[@nickybadboy50]

Tristar bought the 1869 card for $75,285 for a baseball card depicting the Cincinnati Red Stockings. Bernice Gallego, 72, initially put the card on eBay for $9.99 after she discovered it in a box acquired during a long-ago estate sale. However, the woman pulled the card from eBay after online inquiries hinted at its true value and she eventually made $64,073 from the sale after the auctioneers took their fee.

[@anthonycasola2310]

Many of those cards are still out there ....in someone's basement or attic....in trunks or in pages of books ....in walls or even under some insulation or floorboards, maybe in an old house being knocked down a few blocks from your house........I can't begin to tell you what I myself have found in dumsters. Good hunting and.......JUST KEEP LOOKING....

[@branchrickey5291]

I'm a huge fan of the 34 Goudy Gum Lou Gehrig card that has the "Lou Gehrig Says" on the bottom. So sweet. I wonder if that's top 20 most valuable.

[@KartKing4ever]

do they still make beckett cuz if they do im getin it

[@Zach-gw6rc]

Anyone who thinks Honus Wagners' is fake because of the price, it is accurate because Honus did not smoke or chew tobacco products so he told the tobacco company that made it to stop and only a few were made. I also believe this list is wrong because during the making of Eddie Planks' baseball card, the machine broke and few of his cards were released. It's as worth as much as Wagner's though

[@Zach-gw6rc]

it's not* as much as Wagner's. Sorry for confusion

[@baseballer23104]

dude honus wagner cards are the most rare in the world. those cards are definetly the best. nice list!!

[@JonZmuda]

I have a signed micky mantle card that was given to me from my grandparents should I save it

[@fwanderson3]

i have all those cards and i put them in my bike spokes and rode down the hill.

[@Haroldbeavis1969]

Ruth was also superb in the outfield. He was also very fast. LOL "only at bat and at pitching?" Name me one other player in baseball history who could have been in the hall of fame as a hitter AND a pitcher? Wagner was great. Ruth was the greatest.

[@Phillipsfan1]

@zzCELTiCzz Mantle cards was from 1st year of topps and is his rc

[@jasonmatteson9909]

No it isn't. 51 bowman is his rookie

[@Carlito1988]

The one you left out is the rare Eddie Plank card which I saw sell on e-bay for $48K a couple of years ago.

[@modblogger1]

what about the jose canseco rookie card?

[@psychdonbaseballcards5137]

I'm going to run out and buy that Wagner. Are there reprints?

[@bmoreravens12]

You should have mentioned the 1913 babe ruth card from the baltimore newspaper. Only 10 known right now.

[@LeafFreedom]

are those the most expensive because they were signed? If so you should provide that information in description.

[@Imac7065]

I don't know where you get your prices from.. but unless it's graded about a 9 or 10 (aka near impossible) I have NEVER seen a 52 topps mantle sell for 97 grand. A friend of mine recently sold a BVG authentic mantle for $4 grand... most that mid grade (IE 4-6) will sell around 10g's.

[@rcd1979]

That counts, there are 9 Hank Aarons in 1974 Topps ranging incondition from $3-$30. The first 6 cards of the set are Hank Aaron, and there are also leader cards with Hank, and a team card. #1 Hank Aaron is the best of the set.

[@RoofFiddler]

Awesome video. It's kinda hard to list the Top 10 Most Expensive Baseball Cards, since #'s 1-10 would all be different grades of the T206 Honus Wagner. Also, a lot of the reason some of those cards brought such high prices was because they were in freakishly good condition (my god, A SGC 96 1915 Cracker Jack Shoeless Joe? Wow) whereas examples in "regular" condition don't bring anywhere near as much. Still, way cool video.

[@skittles_2756]

I have a ty Cobb card but not that particular card mine is a gold silver out line

[@jason66801]

they made a movie about honas wagner i think the name of it was the winning season where this kid finds the card in this old ladies attic and gets transported back in time and actuially meets him

[@ChangingOld]

Edit: 1910 E98 Honus Wagner from Black Swamp Find / Ty Cobb?

[@PrairieThunderFan1]

someone help!!! i have a 1996 Pinnacle Select Certified blue mirror Hideo Nomo card, and i looked it up on sports lizard and it popped up at 500$. but i took it to my local card dealer and he said its worth 3.95$?

[@mybaseballcardspace]

Awesome assortment of quality cards.

[@vincentcorpus5187]

Where are you getting your prices from? They are nowhere near those prices

[@creewags]

the price is they speak of are probably graded cards if you think about it

[@jefflaumann5602]

Vincent Corpus Well they sold for that

[@MrMakemyday3]

really???> check out my link doubting thomas

[@volbox6182]

Interesting question. Probably Martin Dihigo would be the closest thing as an all-around player.

[@MrCoolKirby]

if any body was wondering why the honus wager was so valueble it was because a tobacco company was making tobacco with cards in packs and honus did not want to be seen that way so he stopped the company when about 60 was made

[@jesscant3357]

Wagner was a SS. You also missed a lot of cards, like the 1914 red Babe Ruth Baltimore Orioles rookie that sold for like $450k

[@wkepler]

nice job, great compilation too.

[@denistuohy2535]

What song is this?

[@chrispennington2808]

bought has been going up in value because of that story and there are only roughly 18 honus wagner cards still left today and the BV of a regular one is only 125,000. So its just because of that story that one card is so exspensive

[@Gio-tw7nc]

I have the Mickey something but it doesn't have his signature

[@thecollector893]

wow man those are amazing.

[@pbrick6301]

There is no need to apologize for the music in the video. It is outstanding. In fact my whole family & I just dancd around the living room while listening to it.

[@epicstartshere]

i got a Kosuke Fukudome RC from upper deck damn this is only 10 bucks says beckett but topps same card is like 80 something

[@Foo3112]

I have that Babe Ruth but PSA 6. Yet to see something higher on ebay. Also, these prices have to be a PSA 10 cause those are some top dollar comanding prices.

[@MattLemonsackMusic]

honus wagner played outfield as well as shortstop

[@1997trigger]

i read a book about the t206 Honus Wagner card called Honus and Me

[@marceltab]

What about a Blake griffin logoman 1/1 rookie on eBay

[@ibn181]

@Phillipsfan1 there right

[@sloothlothos1]

You left Dickie Thon's 1980 Topps RC off the list!?!?

[@danhendrickson9572]

You mean the one you can buy off ebay for .99 cents? You're right this list is bogus.

[@bestwaffleg]

@nrossc17 Well I was wrong they aren't the very worst but they haven't had an above 500 season in 3 years.

[@lrdmrh13]

OMG I HAVE ONE OF THE ORGNIAL MICKEY MANTLE CARDS SHOULD I SELL IT YET OR NO

[@TheGabagoolGuru]

My uncle had the 1952 topps #331 mickey mantle card but he sold it like 10 years ago for 75,000

[@ajsofthenation]

Forbes says most expensive cards One Wagner rookie card miraculously survived the last century in near-mint condition. Dubbed the "Gretzky Wagner" after it was purchased by the hockey star for $451,000 in 1991, the card sold for $500,000 in 1995, then for $640,000 in 1996, $1.265 million in 2000, $2.35 million in March of 2007 and $2.8 million in September of 2008. Fleischer estimates it would bring $3 million today--and that a comparable Ruth rookie would go for $3 million to $5 million

[@agentpaperman]

@KardKid1996 You can't say each card is not the right price. It is only a piece of cardboard with some ink on it. Maybe costs 25 cents to create, IF that. Memorabilia and collector's items are only worth what that specific individual wants to pay for it. There is no correct price. There is an estimated price for all collector's items, which is just an estimate, nothing more.

[@Cokedlr]

@SpainPat12 wagner had the card pulled out of the packs becuase he didnt chew tobacco, theres like 12 in the whole world

[@mikem44]

I have a reprint for a 2007 topps pack for Mickey Mantle

[@YourLowGPA]

i have an Ozzie Guillen card (the present coach of the white sox)

[@joellyos]

The Honus IS the most valuable, but the famous PSA graded card was trimmed. PSA lost a lot of credibility by not catching that. Also, the T206 Joe Doyle variation and the Ed Plank cards should have been in there. Great post though, nice cards.

[@rockthejungle]

I have a Honus Wagner Card.And it is not a reprint.I hope to be making a video soon and show it off.

[@breggerson6580]

I have a Ted Williams but nit the one in the pic

[@uwysh2]

@Phillipsfan1 Thats what they sold for NOT what they book for... If you are going by Beckett prices you are way off real world prices! Condition and Grading on Vintage cards makes a world of difference in price.

[@spence8271]

My grandpa had more then half of these and he gave them to his brothers kids and they ripped them up, sad

[@joelhahn792]

Little bastards😡

[@funzo1159]

To me, the most valuable for years was a 1968 Mike Epstein, which was the only card I was missing to make an entire set.

[@flashflood4206]

Funzo ....old pizza pie zit face we called his mug...Andy Etchebaren wasn't too pretty either. Ha

[@jtapocik]

there is a huge gap between the 2nd and 1st prices

[@milobaseball3952]

The Honus Wagner T-206 card got sold for 2.1 million

[@sixstrings2]

@ndinkha226 Kansas City Monarch yes, but then in 1948 once Blacks were allowed to play in the Major Leagues he went to the Cleveland Indians

[@schild528]

actually that honus wagner is the rarest card in the world bcuz it was from a smoking compony and he told them to stop making his card so theres only about 30 left in the world

[@kris198921]

My dad had a Honus Wagner about 10 years ago but he lost it and never found it.

[@akeemholmes1295]

you should have hank Arron

[@chrispennington2808]

dude im sorry but thats not why its so valueble its because there is two versions of honus wagner they are both the same cards but there is only one worth that much and thats because a while back an art collector got involved in an estate auction and the honus wagner card came up and there were card collectors there and he seen how much they were bidding on the card and decided he wanted to be the first peron to buy a million dollar card and he was and since then that particular card that he

[@kyw206]

where do you get these prices?? They're totally inaccurate. You need to check the smr bro. For example, your Joe D in that grade is like 6-7K. Your Mays in that grade is like 11K max do your research bro

[@Sonors7]

Nice job! Thanks!

[@Decius.]

Number one is really worth that

[@Cokedlr]

@TheToppsMan dude triple threads cards are goin downhill fast

[@Retro_Fan]

I would have put the T210 Old Mill Joe Jackson and 1914 Baltimore News Babe Ruth Rookie in 2nd and 3rd spots.

[@BruinsHockey631]

The first ever baseball team picture were like cards a wicked long time ago. I'm guessing that's way more valuable than these cards...the first card, pretty much, ever made were the team pictures. War veterans played at that time.

[@38ddkelly]

Was the DiMaggio card supposed to look ridiculous?

[@gatordude47]

it depends on how many of the cards were maid in this country or in the world

[@cadlandsbhugsa8829]

Wow I have the 52’ Mickey mantle

[@incontruth4116]

A house I bought 15 years ago for $120,000 is currently worth more than 1-9 combined.

[@TwinCityKillaz]

...And now the #1 most valuable card? It's a tie the 1986 Donruss "Rated Rookie" Jose Canseco and the 1989 Upper Deck "Star Rookie" Ken Griffey Jr. WooHoo!

[@Burgerbros1234]

I've got that Mantle card!

[@Decius.]

I WANT THE HONUS WAGNER ONE

[@jthoopes4810]

I'll sell mine to you. jk. I wanna be rich.

[@smuggecko]

really informative and interesting

[@SantaBarbaraBiking]

This music is the best part.

[@verlanderpc]

Better add Stephen straburg his 2010 tops rookie card is worth 50k

[@Info255]

Some Honus Wagner Cards Are sold for a $200,000. -$400,000. price range

[@julianolivas1828]

What about Jackie Robinson or Hank Aaron

[@4ulefties]

If there where ever a time machine I'd go back to 1909 and bring back two Honus Wagner cards.

[@BillWillyBillyBill]

I don't remember "Welcome to Jungle" sounding like this.

[@Sssssnnaakke]

Could make it actually worth more if there aren't other misprints.

[@HiKinetic]

I would kill for that Babe Ruth card. Oh, and the music definitely isn't Guns N' Roses :p

[@madasspunk]

What about mutton chop yaz

[@creamofcardstv]

Great video! Thank you for your video response!

[@timkingp]

The book price is simply a guide to price cards, not an actual value. Like all cards they depend on the condition. If the 1933 Goudey Babe Ruth card was a perfect ten mint it would go far beyond beckets $8,000

[@IgnoringPhDvideo]

a T206 one?

[@reporter69692003]

where is the 1914 babe ruth baltimore sun rookie card

[@Lilphill27]

@nikolaz1020 No sorry bro last one sold in auction sold for 2.8 million bucks. look it up.

[@Info255]

@1ggggggl There Is 5000 Of Those Cards Left not 10

[@pauleyh]

dude not to be smart ass but your totally wrong about the pricing on these cards. a psa 8 51 mays for over 55K LOL. i seen a gem mint 10 sell for 25k the book value of the card may be a little over 2500. as for the other pricings they are all off compltely

[@Xxspawn0123xX]

honus wagner one was sold for 4,000,000...

[@why-why-whywhywhy]

Only the 1914 Ty Cobb caught my interest here. That is because I collect for the love of the game though. Unlike most of the lowlife's today, who only do so for the money. So If I owned that Cobb card & the 54' Hammerin' Hank rook', I would be happier than a pig in ...

[@jasonphillips2718]

what's your best card? meaning most rare

[@why-why-whywhywhy]

Well the truth is that I only collect Boston/Milwaukee/Atlanta Braves cards. So my most rare card would be my 1933 Goudey Walter 'Rabbit' Maranville (a Hall of Famer) PSA 3.5. Aside from that, I have the entire 57' Topps Milwaukee Braves Team sst. With my best cards from that set being an ungraded (which by choice, 95% of cards are) Hank Aaron. Although it is damn near perfectly centred & is crease/scratch free, as well. Lastly & also from the 57' set, I have both an E. Mathews & W. Spahn, both graded PSA 7. So as you can see, nothing to earth shattering. Yet, they are simply the cards/sets which I like most. Now it is on to collecting the current day Atlanta Braves HOF'ers & the 95' World Series Champs team set.

[@jasonphillips2718]

+Tee Dee That's awesome. I also am a Braves fan I hail from Greenville SC, so its die hard Braves fans around here. I have nothing that antique but I'm like you and don't place monetary value to my collection of cards. You sound like you have an awesome collection. I do have one great item however, my friend in high school, his grandfather Joe Anders was good friends with the Joe Jackson, and 20 years ago I received as a gift an autographed check signed by Joe Jackson. As you know he couldn't write well. Most all you can make out is the two J's. I have been offered 25 grand but have no desire to sell.

[@why-why-whywhywhy]

+Jason Philips-Well good to meet you, Jason. As it is not often that I get to meet other Braves fans here in my native Toronto-Ontario, Canada. Especially this year, with my hometown team, the Blue Jays doing so well. ARGH!!! About your 'Shoeless' Joe Jackson item, that sounds like an amazing piece of baseball history. Even more than that though, your friend seems like a very kind person by giving you that as a gift, as well. Don't mean to pry, but what might be some of the vintage or current day Braves memoribilia that you might have? I used to be all about cards (which I still love) but I have started to expand my horizons from just collecting those, as well. Recently buying some old vintage stickers, programs/scorecards, a very cool, vintage looking jacket & of course, my Braves hats. Anyway, gotta scoot. My son's favorite team, the Texas Rangers are on t.v. here right now (playing the Stro's) & it give's us time to spend some father/son time together. A great weekend to you & yours, Sir. As always, GO BRAVES!!! ; )

[@jasonphillips2718]

+Tee Dee That's cool to meet a Braves fan all the way in Toronto Ontario Canada, just goes to show you that the chop can spread anywhere. I think that I have some cool things in my collection. having been to many Braves games I have acquired some personalized memorabilia. I have a signed jersey from Chipper Jones (my favorite player), I have a ball signed by the 2012 team (Bobby Cox last year), autographed cards by Deon Sanders, John Smoltz, Tim Hudson, Mark Lemke and Fred McGriff. I have two foul balls. One from Matt Diaz and one from Ron Gant. I got an autograph ball from Tom Glavine when he was rehabbing at the double A Greenville Braves. My most prized possession however is something my Dad got in 1974. Its a Home run ball by Dale Murphy that he wrestled away from another fan ha ha. I love the Braves man. The 91 92 93 teams were my favorite. I'm 37 years old and have a 15 year old son who is a die hard fan too. I've been to 71 Games in my life and it never gets old. And they need me as a fan because they are 48 and 23 when I have been there lol

[@XMarshyFTW]

my dad actually has 1 of the 3 honus cards but hasnt sold it yet ill make a vid of it
