2001 Bowman Autographed (Albert Pujols)
By the early 2000s, baseball cards had become really ubiquitous, so none was considered rare unless there was a gimmick that came with the card. We are talking about low-numbered parallel cards, autographs, and memorabilia ones. One of the most valuable is the Albert Pujols autograph card that is part of the 2001 Bowman set. You can get a four-figure amount for it if it is in good condition. Albert Pujols played 11 seasons in the National League and was named Player of the Decade by The Sporting News.

1982 Topps Traded (Cal Ripken Jr.)
A number of the 1982 rookie cards are valuable, but the most valuable one is the Cal Ripken Jr. card that is part of the Topps Traded expansion set. Baseball’s Iron Man had a lot of accomplishments but he consistently showed class. He played harder than everyone else and took as much time pleasing the fans. If the Iron Man’s card is in good condition, it can fetch about $200. You have to be careful, though, as the back can easily chip and flake. This explains why there is such a wide range of prices and grades for the card.
