Mickey Mantle – 1951 Bowman
Yes, this is the second entry for a Mickey Mantle cart! This time, let us talk about the 1951 Bowman even if it is not as expensive or famous as his Topps. This variant is the only official rookie card of the Mick. A mint copy of the card will fetch more than $500,000 thanks to his popularity among both baby boomers, who got to watch him play, and younger folks who admire his legacy!

Eddie Plank – 1909 T209
Here is another card from the incredible T209 set! The version of the Hall of Famer Eddie Plank is considered the second rarest and most valuable card in the deck. The pitcher is only behind Honus Wagner himself! There are several reasons why this piece is so valuable and rare. OldSportsCards.com said, “The most prevalent theory is that the card suffered from a poor printing plate, resulting in many of the cards being destroyed since they could not pass quality control. Besides, many of the known examples are found with poor centering from top to bottom. The centering can be so severe that it will cut into the text along the bottom.”
