Here are some of the best and most valuable cards: 1. Rickey Henderson (#119)Henderson was coming off his 1980 breakout season where he became one of the game's premier players, and his 1981 Donruss card is an early one in his career, though not a rookie card. As a Hall of Famer and the all-time stolen base leader, any early card of Henderson is valuable to collectors.2. Tom Seaver (#170)Tom Seaver is one of the greatest pitchers in baseball history, and this card from his time with the Cincinnati Reds is sought after by collectors. His accomplishments, including multiple Cy Young Awards and his Hall of Fame status, make this card special.3. Johnny Bench (#371)Another Hall of Fame player, Bench was nearing the end of his illustrious career in 1981. A dominant catcher for the Cincinnati Reds, his cards from this era are widely collected.4. Nolan Ryan (#260)One of the most iconic and enduring figures in baseball history, Nolan Ryan’s 1981 Donruss card is significant because it features him during his time with the Houston Astros. Ryan's cards are always in demand due to his long career and record-breaking achievements (most career strikeouts, no-hitters, etc.).5. Tim Raines Rookie (#538)This card is Tim Raines’ rookie card, and Raines went on to have a Hall of Fame career. His combination of speed and on-base ability makes this card one of the highlights of the set.6. Ozzie Smith (#456)"The Wizard" was already establishing himself as one of the best defensive shortstops in the game by 1981. Ozzie Smith's cards are valuable due to his incredible career, and his 1981 Donruss card is no exception.7. George Brett (#54)Brett was a hitting machine throughout the 1970s and 1980s, and his 1981 Donruss card captures him in the middle of his Hall of Fame career. Brett is widely respected, and his cards are highly collectible.8. Pete Rose (#371)Though not a Hall of Famer due to his ban from baseball, Pete Rose is still one of the most famous and controversial figures in the sport. His 1981 Donruss card, from his time with the Philadelphia Phillies, is significant because of his pursuit of the all-time hits record.9. Fernando Valenzuela (#579)While technically not his rookie card (that came in the 1981 Topps set), Valenzuela’s 1981 Donruss card is still highly collectible. Valenzuela became a sensation in 1981 with his incredible performances for the Los Angeles Dodgers, and this card captures him during his "Fernandomania" peak.10. Carl Yastrzemski (#139)The legendary Red Sox outfielder/first baseman was nearing the end of his long career in 1981. Yastrzemski’s card is popular because of his Hall of Fame status and his revered place in baseball history.
