Please list yours.

The list from back then would differ greatly from the list today if you are basing your list just on values or sold prices. Do a search for the 10 biggest prices baseball cards I’ve ever sold for eliminating duplicates and there is your answer.

If you’re talking top 10 most desirable cards in the hobby that’s a totally different story.

t206 wagner
T206 Doyle
T206 plank
Balt news Ruth
Anson uniform
Cobb/Cobb
M101-4 Ruth
E107 Mathewson
Boston garter jackson
T210 jackson

I am light on 19th century cards. not my area of knowledge. the first 6 or so on the list are no brainers. lots of cards can fill the 7-10 slots. all of them are expensive to ship.

The E107 Wagner would be somewhere on the list. It is more valuable than a Plank. I would agree the Plank should be on the list. Not sure what value you are putting on the last 2. Again you have 2 pop ~ 100 cards, a pop 50-60 card and then I believe the rest are 10 or less, so it makes it tough to compare.

If the card wouldn't sell for over $100,000 as a PSA1 it should not be on the list. This eliminates the Plank.

Valid point.

Here is my list. This is assuming that we are not including CDVs and Cabinets that were produced by private studios.

Also, if we are omitting unique cards, then I would switch the 1893 Just So Young with a 1903 E107 Wagner.

1887 N172 Anson In Uniform
1893 Just So Young
1903 E107 Mathewson
1907 W600 Cobb
1909 T206 Doyle NY NL
1909 T206 Wagner
1909-11 T206 Cobb with Cobb Back
1910 T210 Jackson
1914 Baltimore News Ruth
1916 M101-5/4 Ruth

Hi Kevin-The 1860 Atlantic’s CdV has sold twice in the last five years(two different copies), both times for around $200,000. I don’t think the E107 Mathewson would go for that much. Otherwise, I like your list.
Steven-Good luck on your quest.

I believe the E107 Wagner is more than the E107 Mathewson. A SGC 1 Matty sold for 36k this year. A SGC A Wagner sold for 57k in 2016. I don't think you could find a Wagner for 36k today.
