Honus Wagner (February 24, 1874 - December 6, 1955) was a former professional baseball player who played for the Pittsburgh Pirates, he was a short-stop and known as one of the greatest players of all time. One of his nicknames that was given to him was The Flying Dutchman. One of the most astonishing things about him was his baseball card which was sold in cigarrettes in The American Tobacco Company's products. Wagner didn't like the idea of the card being sold in tobacco so kids wouldn't buy it to get the card. The card (T206) was then no more produced. In 1933, the card was valued at US $50. (The ATC sold it from 1909 - 1911). It's known as "The Holy Grail" of baseball cards. Values for the T206 Honus Wagner vary from approximately $250,000 for a 'poor' condition example to the lone PSA 8 (near mint-mint) which last sold for $2.8 million. An apparent proof strip of the T206 Wagner, found in Wagner's home after his death, recently sold for over $300,000.
