1911-14 General Baking Co. (Ty Cobb)

Baseball cards were apparently sold with all kinds of things, including cigarettes, gum, candy…and bread. This PSA 8 1911 General Baking Ty Cobb is one example of cards which came with loaves of bread. In September 2008, it fetched an incredible $272,980. As a matter of fact, this copy of the Ty Cobb card is the highest PSA-graded. As of August 2018, a PSA 6 is the closest. There is no doubt that if this card were sold today, it would pull in a lot of money.

1910 E98 (Ty Cobb)

Another Ty Cobb card on the list. There were several talented athletes in the early twentieth century but the most gifted was probably Ty Cobb, who was not only an incredible hitter but was also great defensively and the best base stealer. Without a doubt, he dominated the American League in the Deadball Era, but he did have a competitive and aggressive style of play which caused controversy throughout his career. Nevertheless, you can expect this century-old card to always sell, especially if it is in great condition. In May 2019, a PSA 10 E98 Cobb pulled in $270,600.
