Fantastic Non-Sport and Pop Culture Cards We Saw at The 2026 National

1964 Topps The Beatles Color #63 George (Harrison) and John (Lennon) – Paul Speaking

What better place to start at The National than on stage with The Beatles?

For music lovers, the image captures The Beatles’ historic performance on The Ed Sullivan Show on February 9, 1964.

Online asking prices for the #63 George and John card typically range from $1.99 to $2.99.

Because kids actually played with their trading cards during the era, finding Mint-condition 1964 Topps The Beatles cards is challenging. Only one #63 George and John has earned a BGS 9 grade.

This example has certainly traveled since its 1964 release.

2024 Topps Chrome UK Sapphire Edition Disney Sapphire Selections Red #SP7 Minnie Mouse /5

Staying in the exclusive section of The National, this Red #SP7 Minnie Mouse was a showstopper.

Like Minnie Mouse’s Sapphire Selections Red #SS1 Iron Man friend, there are no public transactions of a sold copy, leaving the seller free to establish the asking price. Other Disney Sapphire Selections Red parallels, including Jaeger Clade and Maui, have online asking prices ranging from $1,499.99 to $1,950.

One of the highest selling #SP7 Minnie Mouse on a public platform was a PSA 10 Black parallel (/10), which sold for $810 during an eBay auction on April 20, 2025.

A Red /5 copy, to our knowledge, has not been sold, but a Padparadscha 1/1 has. Helping set the valuation of the Red Minnie Mouse, the Padparadscha was added to a collection on August 1 of this year for $55,100.

2015 Topps Garbage Pail Kids 30th Anniversary #80S24b Testy Ty – #24B Mike Tyson

Raw Testy Ty cards can be added to a collection for around $2.99. In an SGC Mint slab, realized prices climb to $66.13. Add boxing icon Mike Tyson’s autograph with a BAS 10, values soar by several hundred dollars.

Since Tyson’s signature covers part of the card image, for those unfamiliar with this example, the drawing depicts an ear in Testy Ty’s mouth. Testy Ty being Mike Tyson, the ear is a parody of the June 28, 1997, “The Bite Fight” bout with Evander Holyfield.

In the third round of that highly anticipated event, Tyson bit a piece of Holyfield’s ear off. The fight was temporarily halted but resumed after Holyfield agreed to continue and a ringside doctor gave clearance. Shortly thereafter, Tyson bit Holyfield’s other ear resulting in an immediate disqualification.
