Shoeless Joe Jackson – 1909 American Caramel
The American Caramel Company created the Joe Jackson 1909 card in an effort to boost sales of their cigarette brand, much like they did with the Wagner card. The Chicago Blac Sox gambling scandal resulted in a lifetime ban for Jackson. Due to their scarcity, his cards have recently sold for as much as $660,000.
Joe Doyle – 1911 ATC T206
A large percentage of the players on this list are inductees into the Hall of Fame. Joe Doyle, on the other hand, is not included in this group. For $414,750, a tobacco company card of Doyle handily defeats the best players in the world. What do we make of this? In fact, he was originally listed as a member of the New York Nationals, not the Yankees, on the first printing of this card.
