I think the answer has to be Joe Jackson. I can’t think of a period card of him where the cheapest entry isn’t the low to mid 5 figures unless you can find a beat to hell T200. He’s arguably the key card in almost every set he’s in. I can remember years ago Leon had a Jackson game card (either Polo Grounds or National Game) on his website for a couple hundred bucks and a couple times when I made a purchase I thought about adding it but never did. Been kicking myself. Wagner, Ruth, and Cobb are all in the “you’re going to have to pay up” category but at they are in enough sets that if you have some options. With Jackson it’s game card/Play Ball or take out a second mortgage.
