20+ Most Popular 90s Baseball Cards (Over the Last 7 Days, 12/16/24)

When it comes to 90s baseball cards, the game is different. These cards aren’t tied to in-season trends or current stats. Instead, they rely on nostalgia, player legacies, and collector consistency.

This is not buying or investment advice. I’m simply reporting the data I’m seeing. Please do your own research and make your own decisions. Just because cards have increased in value up to this point, it doesn’t mean they will continue to do so.

I’m getting all of this data from the Market Movers platform. It’s not my platform, I’m simply a user and affiliate.

Market Movers isn’t perfect; no tool is. I’ve seen instances where a graded card was being included in the raw numbers, which might cause a huge spike in value. So trust, but verify.

The sports card market thrives on hype—player performance, trade rumors, and breakout seasons can send modern card prices skyrocketing overnight. You see it every year, multiple times per year, across the different sports.

But when it comes to 90s baseball cards, the game is different. These cards aren’t tied to in-season trends or current stats. Instead, they rely on nostalgia, established player legacies, and collector consistency.

If you’re interested in the era, this is a major advantage. While everyone else is chasing short-term spikes from active players, 90s cards offer something better: stability and liquidity. You’re not betting on what could happen—you’re buying into what already has.e

This week’s sales data on 90s cards proves exactly that. Derek Jeter, Bo Jackson, Frank Thomas, and others remain market staples, quietly moving in volume. If you’re looking for opportunities that aren’t at the mercy of a bad game or injury, this is where you might want to focus.

1. Michael Jordan 1991 Upper Deck #SP1

Ok, now this is funny. I posted a top 20 basketball card list not too long ago and Michael Jordan was on that list once, and at #10 at that.

And here we have a baseball list, and he is #1. Make it make sense!

Who am I kidding, in cards, few things here make sense.

Raw copies of this card sells for an average of $15.51, while a PSA 10 has been selling for over $400.

Before you go running to gobble these up, something to keep in mind—that $15.51 is an average of all sales, regardless of condition. If you are searching for a card in great condition, you might have to spend a bit more. There are 1,000 copies in raw condition currently for sale on eBay (check that centering!)

There is another Jordan on this list, and toward the top at #4. It’s the 1994 Upper Deck #19.

Here are the PSA 10 comparisons. Note the pop differences (1994 foil finish is a booger).
