1909 T206 #366 Honus Wagner
No card in baseball and all sports trading card history had yet to surpass the importance of a 1909 T206 #366 Honus Wagner sports card. It is considered “The Holy Grail”, “The Mona Lisa”, or the most valuable baseball card. It is very expensive that even a Honus card with the lowest grade of 1 (poor condition, with wrinkles and signs of wear) was sold for $300,000 in 2008.
This vintage sports card produced by The American Tobacco Company had been the most-sought after among serious sports hobbyists. Considered to be very scarce, it is said that only 50-60 specimens of this Honus Wagner vintage sports card exist (and not all of them are in collectible condition). This was because the production of the sports card in 1909 had been stopped in the demand of Wagner himself. Some say he did not want his name to be associated with the use of tobacco, especially that he had children supporters. On the contrary, other reports claim that the Wagner halted the production because he was not well-compensated for his appearance on the card.
Here is a list of the increasing values of this rare sports card, the 1909 T206 #366 Honus Wagner, through the years:
o 1930 $50
o 1985 $25,000
o 1987 $110,000
o 1991 $451,000
o 1995 $500,000
o 1996 $641,500
o 2000 $1,265,000
o 2007 (February) $2,350,000
o 2007 (September) $2,800,000
