Rare 110-Year-Old Honus Wagner Baseball Card Sells at Auction for $1.2 Million

Honus Wagner's baseball career ended more than a century ago, but the Hall of Famer remains a popular figure on the collection circuit.

According to TMZ Sports, a 1909-11 T206 card of Wagner sold for $1.2 million at auction. A testament to the card's rarity, its high price tag came despite the fact it received a two out of 10 on the PSA grading scale.

A slightly more pristine version of the card sold for $3.12 million in October 2016. Yahoo's Daniel Roberts explained at the time only 200 editions of the card were ever made, with only 50 still around, which helped to drive demand.
