20 Most Valuable Trading Cards in Their Own Arena

We've collected and compared the most valuable cards from every genre.


Was this tedious? Yes. Was it time-consuming? Yup. Worth it? Absolutely. We've researched just about every type of trading card we could think of and then found the most valuable cards in existence from that genre.


Whether you're into football, baseball, hockey, literally any sport. Or if that's not really your speed, we've got games. We've got Yu-Gi-Oh! We've got Pokémon. We've got Magic the Gathering.


The most expensive cards listed all in one place. And if I'm being honest, I was surprised by some of the numbers. So if you're an avid collector, or just a casual fan feel free to enjoy this gallery. If nothing else you'll have some bar trivia to store in the back of your brain for a rainy day.


And just a quick shoutout to PSA, BGS, and everyone's favorite internet source, Wikipedia.
