The famous Honus Wagner baseball card is back up for auction with an opening price of $1 million.

Per an official release from Goldin Auctions, the T206 white border card featuring the Pittsburgh Pirates icon could sell for more than $5 million.

Wagner's card is one of the rarest and most sought-after piece of sports memorabilia in history. The American Tobacco Company produced T206 baseball cards between 1909 and 1911.

Per David Sax of Smithsonian Magazine, it's believed that Wagner demanded the ATC pull his card from circulation because he didn't want anyone else profiting from his likeness.
