If anyone wants to learn more about Jimmy Claxton there is a book out there about him written by one of our own N54 members.

Probably outside the realm of this thread but all of the "Cy Young" cards that feature Irv Young (E98, E97, W555).

[G1911]

E90 has several, Mitchell, Upp etc.

I guess a cheat answer, but every common card in every very rare set meets the criteria.

Add the T205 Hoblitzell without stats to that list.

I'm positive someone will provide the specific player in this thread shortly...but isn't there a 1952 Topps common that some collector has been hoarding....and now supply is so noticeably lower that it commands a steep premium?

1914 CJ Pratt and T207 Lowdermilk are cards of common players who command a premium relative to the rest of the common players in the set

Bartirome high number. There are threads about him on this board.

Wrong era, 1989 Fleer Bill Ripken variations. Bills only other big thing is he is the brother to a HOFer. Most of his other cards can be purchased for under $1. I have sold/traded the rare 89 Fleer variations for over $500 apiece.

..in the world of exhibit cards several years an "Adolph Luque" sold for so much that it started its own thread on 54 ; I know "Moses Yellowhorse" sells for a ton whenever one rarely appears , and in the '39 Exhibits Salutations set a guy named "Rizzo" has caused broken friendships and financial bloodshed........none of these names is "star" status but their cardboard surely is........Exhibits card collectors are the quiet massive wealth that you hear communists complain about..
