Most Valuable Non-Star Cards

[packs]

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

You could fill a phone book (oops, I mean a Contacts file) with tough T207 common players.

Ugh every time I hear about Bartirome I feel sick to my stomach. I sold a PSA 6 to that creep, because I believed his story about trying to collect the card because Tony was his relative.

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

He was even a member here for a while.

Thanks for the specific player name.

I just did a search on "Bartirome" on Net54 and found some of those threads you are referencing. Unbelievable.

T207 Irving Lewis!

Is that the guy who claimed to be a relative of Bartirome? Didn't he end up in jail?

edited to add: Here he is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cole_Bartiromo

[usernamealreadytaken]

T206 Shaughnessy and Adkins...

[Seven]

I fell down the rabbit hole of reading some of the old threads today. It was interesting.... to say the least.

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..
