1948 Leaf Satchel Paige
A 42-year-old pitcher’s rookie card isn’t usually in such high demand. You don’t know Leroy “Satchel” Paige, so that may be true for some other players. When it comes to pitchers, Paige is anything but the norm. He joined the game in 1948 and quickly became the leader. For the World Series champion Cleveland Indians, he went 6-1. His card sold for $432,00 in 2018.
1932 U.S. Caramel Babe Ruth
We all know the name Babe Ruth, but it is difficult to find a high-quality version of this card. An example of a 932 U.S. Caramel Babe Ruth PSA 9 card sold for $432,000 in April 2019. Caramel was used to package the cards at the time, so they were easily stained. If they don’t end up in caramel stains, their fate is likely to be in the hands of curious children instead.
