Last week, a T206 Honus Wagner card was sold at auction for the price of $657,200, $6,000
more than the last T206 of the same condition. The card was graded PSA 2, the third lowest mark on the PSA (a grading company) scale. Wagner cards in better condition have sold for over two million dollars. Wagner cards of varying condition typically come to auction once or twice a year.
The card is known as one of the most valuable in history, and holds many auction records. It was manufactured from 1909-1911. Wagner played for the Louisville Colonels and Pittsburg Pirates and is regarded as one of the best players of his era. He continues to be a force to the modern day through his card.
