I'd put in a vote for the Cards and Giants.

Well, if you think about it in terms of economics, the O's come in at #19 (according to Forbes in 2017). By this measure, the usual suspects come out on top (Yankees, Red Sox, Cubs, etc.). Since this accounts for gate revenues, merchandise, tv deals, etc., I bet this is a pretty good current guess.
But I bet it also depends on demographics. Guys like me would rank them higher because I saw Ripken, Jr. play when I was a kid, and he was awesome. Pretty much when someone says Orioles, he pops into my head; along with Billy, but that is another thread.  Also, Forbes has Toronto ranked higher. Really Forbes???? Really????

With sales from my ebay store over the last 3 months of the original 16 teams, here they are in order of total units sold: 1)Pirates, 2) Red Sox, 3)Tigers, 4) Yankees, 5) Cardinals, 6) A's, 7) Cubs, 8) Reds, 9) Braves, 10) Chisox, 11) Giants, 12)Orioles, 13) Senators/Twins, 14)Phillies, 15) Dodgers, 16) Indians.
Overall, fairly close spread amongst all teams....Pirates cards accounted for 5.2% of total units sold, while the Indians accounted for 4.1% of the total.

It ain’t the Twins, which I appreciate from a pricing standpoint...

The Cubs, at least for me - the team I've been a fan of since 1989. Unlike the dilemma that I would imagine old Yankees or Brooklyn Dodgers team collectors have, most of what I go after can be had pretty much on the cheap. Even higher grade cards of Ernie Banks, Billy Williams, and Ron Santo can be had for very reasonable prices in most cases outside of rookie cards.

I did a search based on what people are watching on ebay. Obviously take it for what it is because some people may watch things other than for the team.
This is based on the top 4 watched items for a team. I removed caps because non fans buy those just for color or logo. I also removed tshirts for a similar reason. The totals are the combined number of watchers for those top 4 items. Here are the results I got: 1112 Los Angeles Dodgers 1065 New York Yankees 962 Chicago Cubs 736 Kansas City Royals 724 Chicago White Sox 717 Pittsburgh Pirates 714 Cleveland Indians (2 of the 4 items were Major League the Movie related) 710 Atlanta Braves 645 Houston Astros 587 Seattle Mariners 579 Miami Marlins 559 New York Mets 507 Baltimore Orioles 462 Detroit Tigers 454 Los Angeles Angels 429 Cincinnati Reds 427 St. Louis Cardinals 404 Philadelphia Phillies 401 Oakland Athletics 397 Boston Red Sox 390 San Francisco Giants 361 Texas Rangers 334 San Diego Padres 306 Toronto Blue Jays 283 Arizona Diamondbacks 264 Washington Nationals 253 Minnesota Twins 205 Tampa Bay Rays 154 Milwaukee Brewers 143 Colorado Rockies
