Nothing short of the next Mike Trout or Ken Griffey Jr., Wander Franco of the Tampa Bay Rays, is going to make it big soon.

He will be turning 19 before the 2020 season and is your must-have baseball card.
2019 Stadium Club Shane Bieber #72
Topps is not paying for its mistake as this card became a hot favorite among collectors. The price reached $30 at one point, and Topps never corrected the error of calling Shane "Justin,” the famous popstar. Both the pitcher and the popstar called Topps out for the mistake, but the public seems to be devouring up the cards like crazy. Hence the error remains.
For all you baseball cards collectors out there, these are the five cards that you must have in your collection if you don’t already. Over a period, they will add value to your collection.
