1948 Leaf Stan Musial
This card is one of the two most recognized rookie cards that feature the legendary hitter. This Leaf card is actually the tougher one to find. It’s considered to be more visually attractive than the second one thanks to its use of color as opposed to the black and white that was normally used at the time. Stan ended up being a seven-time NL champion who was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1969. This PSA 9 1948 card sold for $312,000 in February 2018.
