1. The subject of the card (Player, team, etc.)
When determining baseball card values, certain players are at the top of most lists. Among them are Mickey Mantle, Babe Ruth, Henry Aaron, Ted Williams, and many more. Generally, the more popular or more successful (or both!) a player was, the greater are his baseball card values.
Mickey Mantle is perhaps the best example of a player who was both a true superstar and highly popular with baseball fans – whether they were Yankee fans or not. Accordingly, of all modern players, Mantle cards as a group have the highest baseball card values.
