Most valuable unlicensed cards?

[TheFrenzy]

Should be fun.

I know we all kind of throw in our mouths a little when we see unlicensed cards. But what are some of the best examples of unlicensed cards that hold legitimate value?

I know Press Pass and Leaf have gotten props for having some of the only oncard autos of certain players.

[MeteoriteGuy]

Hits Memorabilia, Sport Kings, Helmar and Sporting Life. Some of Leaf (I think). That all I can think of with any real value.

Edit to add: I think 90% or more of Press Pass was licensed?

[twisty571]

I like the Leaf Valiant stuff. The Die-Cuts and on card auto's are great looking cards IMO.

[MeteoriteGuy]

I guess I will also add, perhaps Hits Memorabilia should be left off. I am sure they have had cards sell for $100 or more, however I have a HM Frank Thomas /10 relic that I could never sell for $10.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Press Pass have a collegiate license?

I know they did from like 1996 through maaaaaybe 2009? I was thinking this 2010 card was one of their first unlicensed.

Regular 2010 Press Pass football was licensed. Press Pass PE for whatever reason was not. Maybe it was a later release and their contract had just ended?
