Andy Pafko – 1952 Topps
Andy Pafko of the Dodgers is not a Hall of Famer. You will not find any abnormality or error on his card from the 1952 Topps series. But why else did a grade 10 copy of it go for more than $250,000 in 2016? It has to do with the number, you see. His card was designated #1 in the iconic 1952 set, which is the reason it is so famous among completists and collectors.

1909 T206 Sherry Magee (Error)
While Sherry Magee led the National League in RBI no less than four times, that’s not the reason his PSA 8 T206 card sold for $660,000 in September 2018. In fact, it turns out that there was an error with the card. Magee’s name was initially spelled “Magie” before it was corrected. As you’d expect, the corrected version was printed in much higher quantities than the error. This error is considered to be one of the most celebrated ones in baseball card history!
