7. 2001 Topps Tribute - The predecessor to this year's version, the 2001 is drying up by the second. As I mentioned last week, unopened boxes are almost impossible to find and if you do happen to stumble upon a box, expect to fork over $600 for it.

4. 2002 Upper Deck SP Game-Used Golf - Tiger, Tiger, Tiger. What's his last name, again? Just kidding.
3. 2002 Topps Tribute - Unopened boxes are flying off shelves at $285-300 per, and I mean flying!
2. 2002 Topps Pristine Football -A smashing success in the product's first week.
1. 2002 Topps T-206 "Black Back American Beauty" Honus Wagner - This card, which hasn't even been released yet, has been the talk of the hobby this past week. OPnly 5 copies have been printed and randomly inserted into the upcoming T-206 series 3. If you, or someone extremely lucky that you know, are fortunate enough to pull this gem from a pack, expect to receive a pretty penny for your find.
