3. 1970 Topps Rookie Card - PSA Grade 9 or 10

PSA (Professional Sports Authenticators) population report shows that there are currently on 49 cards that have graded 9 and only 1 gem mint 10 card for Pete's 1970 Topps rookie. Many of the graded 9's are bought and sold in the range of $2,200 to $2,500. In the summer of 2007 the lone gem mint 10 in existence auctioned for $15,000. If you can get yourself a well-centered PSA 9, you've got yourself a very nice, rare collectible.

4. 1972 Comspec Card

Outside of the Topps cards, Pete was featured in numerous "odd-ball" sets over the years. One of the most difficult to track down is the 1972-73 Comspec card. This card used the same photo as the 72-73 Topps card, and books for around $600. Get you hands on one of these, and you have a very scarce card. They are just very, very hard to come by.

5. 1974 Topps Graded PSA 9 or 10

After his rookie card most of the Topps cards are fairly easy to find, with the exception of the 1974 card in mint condition. The card stock was very poor that year, and the centering was an issue as well. To date, only 13 PSA 9's exist for his 1974 Topps #10, and just three 9's have been recorded for the 74-75' Hawks team leader featuring Maravich. If there are Maravich cards out there that are in mint condition from that year, and you can get your hands on them - you will have yourself a very nice item that is in high demand amongst Pete Maravich collectors.
