Shoeless Joe Jackson – 1909 American Caramel
This card is similar to the Honus Wagner one. The 1909 Joe Jackson card was made by American Caramel to boost the sales of their cigarette brand. Even though the slugger earned a lifetime ban from the sport due to his supposed involvement in the Chicago Black Sox gambling controversy of 1919, card collectors coveted this piece. In 2016, someone paid more than $660,000 for a mint specimen of the card!

Walter Johnson – 1909-11 T206 Rookie Card
Walter Johnson appears twice in the T206 set, one in a pitching pose and then again in the portrait layout like the one below. Both cards are not cheap but it is this version that is the more desirable and expensive of the two. Walter Johnson is one of the Five Hall of Famers that made their rookie card debut in the T206 set and Walter Johnson, this, in fact, makes this card even more interesting.
