Rare Honus Wagner Card Expected to Sell for More Than $1.2M at Auction

Rob GoldbergOct 7, 2020

Honus Wagner has one of the rarest baseball cards in existence and it will be available for auction starting Oct. 12, according to TMZ Sports.

TheĀ T-206 version, which has an advertisement for Sweet Caporal Cigarettes on the back,Ā is from 1909-11 and is expected to sell for at least $1.2 million.

This same style card sold for $3.6 million in 2016, although the latest version isn't in quite as good condition (which could be expected after more than 100 years). Darren Rovell of Action Network also reported a Grade 3 card that sold for $3.25 million:

Wagner was among the inaugural class of Hall of Famers in 1936 as one of the first big stars in baseball history. He played from 1897-1917, producing a .328 career batting average with 3,420 hits and eight batting titles. He also still sits in the top 10 in stolen bases with 723.

Collectors will now get a chance toĀ land one of the 50 cards ever made.
