Cal Ripken Jr. – 1982 Topps Traded
While one can find various expensive 1982 rookie cards, the Topps Traded Cal Ripken Jr. card is the worthiest. Known as the “Iron Man,” a card with this hero on it will go for a couple of hundred dollars when well kept. Just make sure to care for the back, as it is prone to crumble, which is why we enjoy such a diverse range of multi-valued and graded cards.

Jerry Koosman / Nolan Ryan – 1968 Topps Rookie
Was with our Pete Rose rookie special, having a 10-grade version of this card featuring Mets heroes Jerry Koosman and Nolan Ryan resulted in a lucrative auction. Just how hard to find is this item? With around eight thousand versions of these cards being handed in for expert judgment, only a single copy was given a 10 grade. Now you understand why such a unique treasure hit $612,359 while being auctioned. If you had to get a 9-grade version, you could get a few tens of thousands of dollars.
