I think the above makes a great list of cards for beginners to be wary of. I would add:

1951 Bowman Mickey Mantle Rookie Card
1914-15 Cracker Jack-- many different players
1986-7 Fleer Michael Jordan Rookie

Duly note that most of the cards listed in this thread are high ticket items that the beginner shouldn't be starting with anyway ... I generally advise new collectors to start with something smaller than a T206 Honus Wagner. Maybe a 1933 Goudey Lajoie or T206 Plank, then work their way up.
