I know it's not baseball, but I hope people will not be upset by me posting these two period-era Amelia Earhart cards. Both are tough, and the 1936 Heinz Aviators card is her most valuable card. It is also a legendary non-sports rarity.

The 25-card set was issued in November 1936 (eight months before Earhart disappeared). By April 1937, five of the 25 cards in the set had been pulled from production and replaced with different aviators (there is much speculation as to why). As a result, the Earhart and Howard Hughes cards are by far the most valuable cards in the set.

I was shocked to see a Heinz Earhart card show up on eBay at a reasonable BIN. Only one of the nine Earhart Heinz cards that PSA has graded is below a "4." I am pleased that this card is so presentable for a "1," since a PSA 5 Howard Hughes card went for over $2,000 at REA last year.
