Card Manufacturer:. Despite their efforts to partner with carnivals, toy companies, and promotional campaigns, hundreds of cases still sat unopened in their warehouse. By , eight years of frustration finally forced the hands of Berger and Gelman. Faced with a warehouse still filled with case after case of the '52 Topps second series they decided it was time to cut their losses and make room for new business. A call was made for a garbage barge and onto it went some to untouched cases according to Berger's statement in a copy of Tuff Stuff magazine's Topps 50th anniversary issue via Bleacher Report.
Within the hour all were loaded and the ship made its way towards open waters where it would lay to rest thousands of Mantles, Jackie Robinsons and Eddie Mathewses at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. While Mantle's true rookie card was the Bowman No. This combination of the legendary Yankee on Topps' first true set has made it the most valuable Mickey Mantle baseball card and a close second to the T Honus Wagner in the "Holy Grail" debate.
High grade examples of Mantle's card can easily fetch well into six and even seven figures. The really scary thing is, there are actually three PSA 10 Mantles in existence. Just imagine what one of those might command at auction. That's one heck of a return for the fortunate few who actually unwrapped one of these cards back in '52 and had the foresight, or more likely the unbelievable luck, to have preserved it through the years.
In fact there may not have been a single better way to spend a nickel back then then on a Topps five-cent wax pack. And what if, by chance, you unearthed a still unopened pack today, what would you do? Keep it sealed and play it safe? Or, would you go for it? Tear that paper off and try to become an instant millionaire?! If it were us, we'd go for it! With PSA 1 Poor examples of Mantle's rookie, and even those coming back graded as just "Authentic", selling for thousands of dollars we feel that it would be worth the risk.
Especially when you consider all of the other high-grade cards that could be found within to offset the cost of purchasing the pack.
But hey, you're taking advice from a bunch of vintage card junkies who just love fresh material. It's not a move everyone would or should make. Andre Dawson was one of the most dangerous hitters in the s. His eight Gold Gloves show he was equally strong in the outfield. On the Cooperstown curve, both are more franchise favorites than hobby legends. This does not look like the Rookie Card of one the flashiest fielders to ever play the game.
But under those sideburns is a fan favorite Hall of Famer. The fact that Ozzie Smith is in Padres colors and not St. Louis reds is also a little jarring. The s kicked off in style with Rickey Henderson anchoring the flagship release. The comic on the back has an uncorrected error. It mentions a game he had at Modesto stealing seven bases. It actually happened in Fresno. With a multi-image design that spins out nicely from , it has a memorable look to go along with the superstar and very popular player.
While there are several recognizable names in Topps Baseball , Darryl Strawberry is the only other major star. When you talk about the highs and lows of s baseball cards, few have seen greater swings in both directions than the Topps Mark McGwire. This is true. The USA spin is unforgettable. Some years are filled with multiple Hall of Famers getting Rookie Cards.
In Topps , you get Ozzie Guillen. For a while, he was one of the better shortstops in the game. He also won a World Series as manager of the White Sox. Ah, the glorious woodgrain of Topps Baseball. This is a big reason why its value is still comparable to a sandwich sitting in a sketchy gas station cooler.
However, it does include one of the greatest pitchers of the s, two-time Cy Young Award winner Tom Glavine. He finished in the top three in National League voting on four other occasions. Glavine, Greg Maddux and John Smoltz formed one of the most dominating pitching cores baseball has ever seen.
Maybe the best. However, he anchors the box set. But there are a couple of others to chase including Topps Tiffany, which has nicer stock and a much smaller production run. He helped lead the team to the postseason a dozen times, including a World Series win in However, the Tiffany version is tough.
It was around this time that this was among the hottest baseball cards in the hobby. While Nomar still had a strong career, neither his numbers or the values of this card lived up to expectations. The Captain headlines the Topps Baseball checklist and for good reason. Playing in the pinstripes only helped increase his popularity in the baseball card world. Topps also issued a pair of special factory sets in honoring the inaugural seasons of the Colorado Rockies and Florida Marlins.
Each of these sets have a special stamp and much lower production run. As far as modern baseball cards go, the Topps Traded Carlos Beltran Rookie Card is one of the biggest snafus of all. There have been several cases of mistaken identities over the years. A big part of that may have been because Topps Traded was shelved for a few years and Bowman became the place for Rookie Cards.
Eric Chavez and Adam Eaton were the tenth and eleventh picks in the draft. As one can imagine, there was a time when this card carried some clout. But the window was a small one. Both players had lengthly MLB careers.
Chavez was a standout at third base, winning six Gold Gloves. Eaton never went a season with an ERA lower than 4. The card is symbolic of Topps Baseball as a whole. Cory Lidle was a journeyman, playing for six teams over nine seasons. Unfortunately, his story is one that ends in tragedy after he was killed in a flying accident in Sabathia is one of those players that everyone knew about but never garnered a huge hobby following.
Winner of the AL Cy Young Award, he finished in the top 5 of voting in each of the four years after that as well. Playing for the Marlins, it took the collecting world a little while to notice it.
His two Rookie Cards are exceptions. Albert Pujols and Ichiro both burst onto the scene and the chase was on for anything and everything with their names on it. While that certainly had an impact on his place in the hobby as a whole, Joe Mauer Rookie Cards are still looked at with a high level of regard. It has been a few years since we really recognized it, but Robinson Cano is one of the greatest to ever play second base. He ranks number two on the all-time home run list for the position behind Jeff Kent.
Cano has hit. Yadier Molina has quietly put together a career worthy of Hall of Fame consideration.
