Joe DiMaggio – Goudie 1948
It’s hard to compare this card to any other you’ve seen before. All over this 1948 Goudie card of Joe DiMaggio is a cartoon drawing. A two-year-old card, this is one of the player’s earliest and most important cards in his career. Although there is a second DiMaggio card in the set, it is not as desirable. A few thousand dollars could buy you this one.

Duke Snider – 1949 Bowman
Even though Mickey Mantle and Willie May rookie cards have already been discussed, we couldn’t leave out the Duke of Flatbush. Edwin “Duke” Snider, a Dodgers center fielder in the late 1940s and early 1950s, earned the nickname while playing for the team. Second only to Jackie Robinson, his Bowman rookie card appeared in the 1949 series. The value of a good copy is approximately $232,750.
