Honus Wagner – T206
The Honus Wagner card in the T206 set is known as a legend in card collecting circles as the most valuable and famous baseball card of all time. The 1911 card was made by a tobacco company as a means to increase sales. However, the slugger himself wanted to pull the card from the shelves. Research later revealed that the reason for this had something to do with the royalties. These cards were considered the “Holy Grail” of baseball cards. In 2016, one of them sold for $3.3 million.

Chipper Jones – 1991 Desert Shield
Chipper Joines, best known as the Atlanta Braves’ third baseman, was one of the most famous MLB players in the ‘90s. His most valuable card is linked to an iconic moment of that decade. In 1991, Topps released a special version of the season’s base set that came with “Desert Shield” holograms, which was only made available to soldiers that were involved in Operation Desert Storm. It included Jones’ rookie card. A copy with the hologram can fetch you hundreds of bucks.
