This is the first edition of TR Baseball Card Report. These reports will give you some ideas of extremely unique and rare cards hitting the market and their value on Ebay and other places that sell them.

TR High End Baseball Card Report

2006 Ultimate Collection Tandems Logo/Auto Albert Pujols/Ken Griffey Jr
The 2006 Ultimate Collection Baseball is a one of the nicer sets that Upper Deck produces for Baseball. This card is a true one of one. My one complaint on this card was put together sloppy. If you examine the Griffy Jr autograph it wasn't place on level. There is a slight decline that slopes downward from left to right. Also, couldn't Upper Deck get the autographs on the card instead on on stickers? The card is beautiful, but the sticker autographs make it less appealing to me.

2006 Topps Sterling Prime Relic Cut Signature Roger Maris
There is only one man that first beat Babe Ruth 60 home run mark and probably the only man to do it without using steroids and juiced balls. Roger Maris became an instant baseball icon and will always be remember as the man that first beat Babe Ruth once thought unreachable sing season home run mark. This Topps product is one of the rarest Roger Maris relic cards out there. It has a "cut" autograph (removed from a document that Roger Maris signed) and has 4 different pieces of game used memorabilia (one piece of bat and 3 pieces of uniform) in the card. My only reservation about this card is that there is no image of Roger Maris anywhere on this card. See the back of the card in the auction.

Exquisite Daisuke Matsuzaka Triple 10 Color Patch /25
Daisuke Matsuzaka is the newest Japanese import to Major League Baseball and his cards are red hot at the moment. This card has to be one of his best on the market today. This Patches are at least 4 color (the owner claims 10 color, but he is double counting). The biggest bonus is that each of the three patches are multi-color and combined look like a rainbow! The only drawback on this card is that the patches are from his Japanese uniform and not from the Red Sox. Close ups and other pictures in the auction.

Jackie Robinson & Pee Wee Reese 1/1 Legendary Duel Cuts
The is no doubting that few players have had as big of an impact on Major League Baseball than Jackie Robinson. He broke the color barrier and is a true hero to the game of baseball. This card feature autographs of the great Pee Wee Reese and Jackie Robinson, the two greatest Brooklyn Dodgers ever to play the game. A true one of one for any collector.

Honorable Mention

Exquisite Ichiro A-Rod Griffey Clemens Quad Patch 2/10

2005 Sweet Spot Classics Joe Dimaggio Auto 9/10

Donruss 2005 Classic Combos Babe Ruth Ted Williams #3/5

Very nice. Where do you get these reports?

I wrote it. I am a big time Ebay buyer and always bump into these high end cards. I thought it would be could to show them off and write my thoughts on them. In the future I was considering doing a Market Report and post the recommended buys and sells.
