Cal Ripken Jr. – 1982 Topps Traded

Cal Ripken Jr.’s card from the Topps Traded expansion set is probably the most valuable rookie card from 1982. It’s worth $200 if it’s in good condition. The back of this one is prone to chipping, so be careful when handling it.

Honus Wagner – T206

Most valuable baseball card in history is probably the T206 Honus Wagner. Tobacco companies created this card, as they did with similar ones at the time, in order to boost cigarette sales. Wagner, on the other hand, was adamantly opposed to this and halted distribution. In 2016, one of these cards sold for $3.3 million!
