Vintage Sports Cards That Are Worth a Lot Today

Shoeless Joe Jackson was featured on many baseball cards, but this one is considered among collectors his most popular card. It doesn’t mean it’s his most pricey card, though. We’ve already seen that what makes many cards so expensive is their scarcity – which often means they have some kind of an error.

That’s not to say you wouldn’t make a nice profit on this card, which can easily sell for $350,000. The 1914 Cracker Jack Joe Jackson cards were to be found in Cracker Jack boxes, which made them less attractive, as they often had caramel stains. This 1915 edition wasn’t included inside Cracker Jack boxes, but rather it was part of a redemption program.
