Almost everyone's heard the story of the kid who's spent countless hours and energy pouring over triple diamond baseball cards, only to discover Mom threw out the entire collection before realizing how valuable it was. Baseball cards were once a valid investment tool, but what about now? Can you really improve the energy of your investment portfolio using these triple diamond baseball cards? These three cards are rare and should be snapped up if you ever come across one.

 

1909 Honus Wagner Card

 

In 1991, the near mint condition 1909 Honus Wagner card was purchased by hockey great Wayne Gretzky for $451,000. The card changed hands in 1995, 1996, 2000, 2007 and finally sold for $2.8 million in 2008. Industry experts estimate that the card would be worth $3 million today, making this triple diamond baseball card one of the best around for improving your portfolio's energy. In this market, it's unheard of for an investment value to increase $200,000 in just one year.

 

Another Honus Wagner rookie card in good condition is said to be worth between $250,000 - $350,000. A Honus Wagner card has proven to be a solid investment regardless of the condition.

 

1869 Cincinnati Red Team Card

 

In 2008, an antique store owner in Fresno, California made an amazing discovery. While getting ready to list a box of miscellaneous items on eBay, the owner found a triple diamond baseball card that would change the energy of her financial well-being. The owner, not knowing exactly how valuable the card was, listed it on the auction site for $10.

 

Within hours she had received multiple inquiries. She decided to pull the auction and take the card to an expert. What she found astounded her - the card was actually 139 years old and was the first baseball card ever printed. In February 2009, the card sold for $75,000 and the value is expected to rise.

 

1914 Baltimore News Babe Ruth Card

 

In mid 2008, the 1914 Baltimore News Babe Ruth card sold for $517,000, doubling its previous selling price. This card was Babe Ruth's rookie card released by the Baltimore News and was in very good condition.

 

Another card featuring the entire 1914 Baltimore Orioles team from the same collection sold at the same auction for $52,875, though it's important to note that this card had clipped corners due to being glued into a scrapbook for a number of years. The card pictured the entire 1914 team, including Babe Ruth.

 

These are only a few of the triple diamond baseball cards that can help improve the energy of your investment portfolio. Although rare cards can be difficult to come by, it is possible to find one tucked away in a forgotten about collection. If you happen to have a collection somewhere, take a look - you'll never know just what you'll find.
