A fascinating deep-dive into 50 of the most valuable baseball cards in history

In August of 2000, a copy of a Honus Wagner baseball card sold for $1.27 million, making it the first trading card to net more than seven figures at auction. The transaction signified a dramatic shift within the world of sports collectibles. What had once been considered a casual pastime had grown into a multi-billion-dollar industry.

In Cardboard Treasures: The Stories Behind the Most Coveted Baseball Cards of All-Time, Jonathan Weeks provides an in-depth exploration of the most sought-after baseball cards in history. Beginning with a general history of the origin of baseball cards and an introduction into how cards are appraised, Weeks then digs into the stories of the cards and the players themselves. Ranging from the 1887-1890 Cap Anson N172 card to the Topps 1952 Mickey Mantle worth $12.6 million, Cardboard Treasures features fascinating stories and unique details that will captivate collectors and non-collectors alike.
