There have been a lot of baseball card sets that have been issued ever since they started making baseball cards all those years ago. These sets vary in card amount and value. Some of these many sets are classified as "condition sensitive". This means that they are easier to damage than other card sets, therefore having a "condition sensitive" card or set in gem mint condition could be worth a lot of money. I have consulted with numerous experienced collectors and have been able to compile the following list of the most "condition sensitive" baseball card sets.
