1910 E98 Ty Cobb
Speaking of Ty Cobb, he was probably the most gifted athlete of the early twentieth century. Not only was he an incredible hitter, but he was also the best base stealer and a great defense. There was no doubt that he was the dominant player in the American League during the Deadball Era. However, he did have an aggressive and competitive style of play which led to some controversy throughout his career. All the same, this century-old card will always sell, especially when it’s in great condition. The PSA 10 E98 Cobb sold for $270,600 in May 2019.

1909 T206 Christy Mathewson
Christy Mathewson had a great reputation. He used a specialty pitch that was likened to a screwball. The Pitcher was so amazing that he was one of the Baseball Hall of Fame’s first inductees, along with the likes of Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Honus Wagner, and Walter Johnson. The winner’s plaque at the Hall reads: “Matty was master of them all.” In September 2018, a PSA 9 1909 T206 Mathewson sold for an incredible $264,000.
