1932 U.S. Caramel Babe Ruth

Beyond Ruth’s timeless place, this unique print is rarely located in fine condition. One PSA 9 print of this 1932 unique card located in close to mint status was purchased for $432,000 during 2019. Despite these cards being stocked alongside caramel, which meant that many were coated in the sticky stuff, there were a few which survived gooey fingerprints.

1909 T206 Ty Cobb (Ty Cobb Back)

Despite only a total of four of these prints featuring in the iconic T206 collection, there is a single print that outdoes the T206 Wagner in scarcity. This crimson picture of Ty Cobb promotes his titular tobacco business on the flipside, claiming to be the “King” of cigarettes. With an exemplary rarity, and less than 20 “Cobb-Cobb” prints recognized by the PSA (compared to 34 Wagners), it’s no surprise that a PSA 3.5 T206 “Cobb-Cobb” was bought for a cool $408,000.”
