1951 Bowman (Mickey Mantle)
Mickey Mantle is the hobby’s most widely collected figure, and here we have another one of his cards, the 1951 Bowman. It may not be as famous or expensive as his Topps but this is Mick’s only official rookie card. A mint copy will pull in more than $500,000 owing to his popularity among baby boomers, who watched him play, and younger people who admire his legacy! However, this really important card can have numerous condition obstacles that are common among the set’s high-numbered cards, such as poor centering, print lines and wax stains along the reverse.

1909 T206 (Eddie Plank)
Another card from the amazing T206 set! This version of Eddie Plank is believed to be the second most valuable and rarest card in the deck. Only Honus Wagner himself is ahead of the pitcher! There are a few reasons why this card is really valuable and rare. According to PSAcard.com, “The most prevalent theory is that the card suffered from a poor printing plate, resulting in many of the cards being destroyed since they could not pass quality control. Besides, many of the known examples are found with poor centering from top to bottom. The centering can be so severe that it will cut into the text along the bottom.”
