What does Slabbed Trading Cards Insurance Cover?
Slabbed trading cards—professionally graded, authenticated, and sealed in hard plastic cases—are the benchmark of legitimacy and value in the collecting world. These encased cards don’t just preserve condition; they certify provenance, rarity, and grade with absolute clarity. For collectors and investors alike, a high-grade slabbed card is the pinnacle of collectable assets—particularly when it reaches multimillion-dollar auction results.
Some of the Most Valuable Slabbed Trading Cards Ever Sold:
1952 Topps Mickey Mantle #311 – Sold For: $12.6 Million:
- Graded SGC 9.5, this iconic Mickey Mantle card sold for $12.6 million in August 2022, making it the most expensive trading card ever. Its near-pristine condition, combined with Mantle’s legendary status and the significance of the 1952 Topps set, solidified this card’s place in hobby history.
1909–11 T206 Honus Wagner – Sold For: $7.25 Million:
- Often dubbed the “Holy Grail” of baseball cards, this T206 Honus Wagner sold in a private sale for $7.25 million. Wagner’s objection to the card’s production resulted in a very limited run, making high-grade examples exceptionally rare and immensely valuable.

- This card marks Babe Ruth’s professional debut with the Baltimore Orioles. Graded SGC 3, it sold for $7.2 million in 2023. Its historical importance and extreme scarcity make it a centrepiece in the world of vintage sports cards.
2009 National Treasures Stephen Curry Rookie Logoman Autograph – Sold For: $5.9 Million
- A one-of-a-kind PSA 8 example of Curry’s rookie Logoman Autograph card sold for $5.9 million in 2021. As the face of modern basketball and a transformative figure in the NBA, Curry’s rarest card is a grail for collectors of the modern era.
2003–04 Upper Deck Exquisite Collection LeBron James Rookie Patch Autograph #78 – Sold For: $5.2 Million
