Hi everyone, it’s Matt from Graded Card Investor and today I’m sharing the latest list of the most valuable 1961 Topps baseball cards sold.
1962 Topps Baseball Set:
- Contains 598 cards, each 2-1/2″ x 3-1/2″.
- Features a photograph against a faux wood-grain background, with a peeling corner design revealing the player’s name, team, and position.
- Notable players: Sandy Koufax (#5), Roberto Clemente (#10), Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays (#18), Hank Aaron (#320).
- Includes specialty cards: statistical leaders, multi-player cards, team cards, checklists, World Series cards, All-Stars, and debut of multi-player rookie card.
- Subsets: Nine-card “In Action” and 10-card Babe Ruth series.
- Photo variations in Second Series (#110-196), some with a greenish tint.
- “Short Prints” in high numbers, including Bob Gibson (#530), Willie McCovey (#544), Hoyt Wilhelm (#545).
- Wood-grain borders prone to chipping, making high-grade cards rare.
Given the challenging grading conditions of the 1962 set, due to the dark wood-grain borders, I will organize the cards by their PSA 8 value. It’s important to note the proportion of high-grade cards in relation to their value as you go down this list.
Remember, the market is always changing, so check back for updates. Generally, this list is in ascending order of value, starting with the least expensive and ending with the most valuable card.
Without any further ado, let’s jump into the list!

When assessing 1951 Bowman baseball cards, their condition is key to determining value, with near-mint and mint cards fetching high prices due to their scarcity in top condition.
