Roberto Clemente – 1955 Topps
Playing as a Pittsburgh Pirate outfielder, Roberto Clemente was recognized and brought into the Hall of Fame. However, shortly after recording his 3,000th career hit, the legend was killed in an airplane accident. Clemente created history in the games, and because of his skillful pass tactics, it earned him massive recognition. A card – 1954 Topps version – earned close to half a million dollars in 2012, and later in 2016, a grade 9 version card hit over the half a million-dollar mark.
