Mantle
Ruth Jeter Ryan Rose Robinson Aaron Griffey jr Mays Clemente There are better players than some of these guys but I don’t think there are many that are more collected. Trout and or ohtani may belong on this list somewhere but I’m not sure who I’d take off. Ripken jr also has a lot of collectors.i am honestly not sure cobb Wagner etc have more collectors than the post war guys. I know we would mostly rather have their cards but this is not a group that is even close to representing how the majority of the hobby feels. Last edited by glynparson; 06-16-2023 at 12:11 PM. |

To me I like the combo of Vintage, popularity and Rarity!

Griffey is hands down the #1 most collected baseball player in the hobby. And it's not close. While many of the pre-war guys might be more desirable, they're priced out for the majority of collectors. Blending these lists is not easy. But I think the top 10 probably looks something like this:
1. Ken Griffey Jr. 2. Mike Trout 3. Babe Ruth 4. Jackie Robinson 5. Mickey Mantle 6. Willie Mays 7. Ty Cobb 8. Hank Aaron 9. Nolan Ryan 10. Roberto Clemente |

Travis' list still looks too skewed to vintage to me. How may people are really buying Babe Ruth cards? I have to believe Jeter is on any hobby inclusive list, for example. And currently, Ohtani for sure.
