Default Most Valuable Cards in the hobby

Once we get past

T 206 Wagner
1914 Baltimore Times Ruth
Four Base Hits Anson
PSA 10 Topps Mangle


We wonder what other six cards (or card related items) would be on your list of the 10 most valuable baseball cards


Our thoughts include

1) Texas Tommy Wagner
2) Boston Garter (first series) Johnson
3) T 206 Doyle
4) R328 Lindstrom PSA 8
5) Texas Tommy Cobb
6) Uncut Boston Garter Sheet

I would think N172 Anson in uniform would crack the top 3 or 4.

N172 Anson in uniform might sell for more then those cards on your list Bruce. Otherwise it's a good list.

I'm also thinking a Texas Tommy Joe Jackson might be a big deal if one came up.

I remember seeing this picture in an SMR before the auction took place and thinking that I would never be able to join the fray in bidding for it. Having looked a bit more deeply into things, I wish that I had made the commitment two years ago and gone after this. In retrospect, $26,400 seems like a bargain...to me, at least.

Thanks for weighing in on the list I provided. I mean that sincerely. Pre-war material is fairly new to me, and I do look to this board for guidance.

Best Regards,

Eric

Eric,

Back in the early 1990's, I had just gotten into collecting pre-war baseball items and had the time to go around looking for them (I was in college). Anyway, I was at an advertising show (I always found good things there but often didn't have the money to buy them) and I asked a dealer if he had any baseball items.

He said I had just missed a great piece. He then described the vertical Helmar advertising piece with the L-1 Leather, S-81 silk and the T-3 card. I think he said he was asking $6,000 for it but sold it for $4,000 dollars. More than I had at the time but a great piece I would like to own now....

I would consider the SGC 98 1914 Cracker Jack Joe Jackson card to be pretty special and would command some pretty nice coin!

Not to put words in my friend Bruce's mouth but I think he was referring to Anson in Uniform, not Four Base Hits Anson. My list would be

T206 Wagner
Baltimore News Ruth
Anson in Uniform
Just So Young
T210 Jackson
Four Base Hits Kelly
M101 Ruth
Boston Store/ Collins McCarthy type Ruth
NY HOFer K-Bat (Ewing, Ward, Keefe, O'Rourke or Connor--all rare)
California League Old Judge

1888 Gypsy Queen California League - McDonald

Sold for $80,273 in 2001 (Sloate auction?).

I believe it's still the only copy known.

Yes, only one copybook of the McDonald GQ is known. In fact, it is the only known GQ of this format. Truely an amazing card.

Would N172 Deacon White portrait, McCreachery, crack the top 10? Hard to place a value on it since it is unique and hasn't seen the light of day for so long.

Personally, if I had to chose between a unique California League card and the unique Deacon White portrait, I'm going to side with the HOFer. Not that I'll ever be faced with such a decision.

They say they are "attractive cards" right on them. I am not sure how much more proof is needed than the card itself saying it's a card. There are several other "cards" I have more of an issue with in calling them cards.

Two are known. Not sure where Bruce came up with an Anson Four Base Hits, my guess is he made a mistake and meant to say Anson in Uniform.

I was merely stating what the card says, Jay. I look forward to seeing you wearing that shirt at the next National .

Be sure to look for someone taller, more swarthy, and better looking than you remember.

I give my sincere thanks to everyone who commented on the list I posted. Sorry if it raised a few eyebrows. I am fairly new to pre-war material (clearly) and made a couple of unconventional choices as a result. In any event, I welcome the feedback and appreciate the opportunity to learn from everyone here.

I did respond to the OP rather quickly and it would have done me well to think things through a bit more thoroughly before chiming in. Moving forward, I will make every effort to follow my own advice here...so as not to make an @$$ out of myself too regularly

I thought about editing my post and revising my list somewhat; however, ultimately decided against it. Instead, I figured it best to simply admit that I weighed in too quickly, apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and chalk this up as a learning experience.

My thanks and apologies to all.

Sincerely and respectfully,

Eric

Jim- just my humble opinion, but this list should not be based on grade, just on card value for a nice collector copy.

Pre-War cards aren't the only valuable cards in the hobby. Here are some figures from Dmitri Young's recent sale:

The only 1955 Topps Roberto Clemente PSA 10 — $432,690.
1954 Topps Hank Aaron PSA 10 — $357,594.
The only 1963 Topps Pete Rose PSA 10 — $157,365.
1954 Topps Ernie Banks PSA 10 — $142,836.
1948 Bowman Stan Musial PSA 10 — $129,850.
The only 1969 Topps Reggie Jackson PSA 10 — $115,242.


I think some of these cards would occupy your list.

Just my opinion...but...in no way shape or form do those former dimitri young cards belong in this discussion!

Maybe in a thread titled "stupidest money ever paid for an otherwise common card."

Maybe so...but the fact that one could acquire all of the cards you mentioned at any given time for maybe 1 grand in nice vg-ex cond should disqualify them.

I believe that condition adds to rarity, but that's a debate for a different thread.

This isn't a thread about the rarest cards in the hobby, but the most valuable, and I hate to say it, but none of our cards hold any value past what someone is willing to pay for them thus making these cards completely valid in the discussion.

Have to agree with JHS here. Even though it's not my niche, and I don't understand why people collect the way they do (but more power to them, hip hip hoorah), the original question only has to do with value-

"We wonder what other six cards (or card related items) would be on your list of the 10 most valuable baseball cards"

I haven't given my input since most cards I would mention have already brought up. I did want to add, though, that I do agree with ULLMAN. I took the discussion meaning that no matter what condition you find that particular card in, would it be bring more money than other cards. For instance the t206 Wagner always breaks the $100,000, even when the sides and top are cut off.

So I think the question is grade for grade what is the most valuable. Since most of the cards previously discussed will NEVER be Gem Mint, we have to bring the other cards down to their level and assume the cards are all in VG condition or worse.
