Roberto Clemente – 1955 Topps
Clemente was brought into the Hall of Fame following his outstanding performance as a Pittsburgh Pirate outfielder. Tragically, following his 3,000th career hit, his life was taken in an airplane accident. The magnificent record and terrible passing of the man resulted in a boosted investment in related paraphernalia. 2012 saw a mint 1954 Topps rookie card made of Clemente hit nearly half a million dollars, with a grade 9 special of his reaching the half-million dollar mark even closer in 2016.

Stan Musial – 1948 Bowman
The most aged and yet somewhat feasible baseball card is Stan Musial’s 1948 Bowman card. Finding fame by playing for the St. Louis Cardinals, this fellow might be harder to locate in your collection than other more recent cards. Nevertheless, a well kept Musial card will net you around one thousand dollars.
