Andy Pafko – 1952 Topps
Even though Pafko has not been inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, it appears that a grade 10 copy of his card sold for around $250,000 at auction. Why was the card so expensive if it was error-free? In the 1952 set, his card was ranked #1, making it a sought-after collectible.
1909 T206 Sherry Magee (Error)
This does not explain the $660,000 price tag on Sherry Magee’s 2018 PSA 8 T206 even though he was the National League’s all-time RBI leader four times over. The card had a mistake on it. In the beginning, they misspelled his name as “Magie.” Because the corrected version ran so much faster than the one that had the error, getting your hands on one is extremely difficult.
