Six-Figure Haul Likely For Nuns With Honus Wagner Baseball Card
Baltimore, MD, United States (AHN) – The School Sisters of Notre Dame are raising money for their cause in an unusual way as they are auctioning off a Honus Wagner baseball card, expecting to yield over $100,000.
The card is part of the T206 series, produced between 1909 and 1911. About 60 Wagner cards are known to exist.
A near-mint-condition T206 Wagner card sold in 2007 for $2.8 million, the highest price ever for a baseball card.
The card was left to the School Sisters of Notre Dame by the brother of a deceased nun. The card is expected to fetch between $150,000 and $200,000.
On Wednesday morning, the highest bid was $60,000.
Proceeds will benefit the sisters’ ministries in 35 countries.
Nicknamed “The Flying Dutchman,” Wagner played for 21 seasons, including 18 with the Pittsburgh Pirates. He has a .328 career batting average and was one of the five original inductees into baseball’s Hall of Fame.
The card was printed by the American Tobacco Company while Wagner was one of the best players in baseball.
Production of the Wagner card was halted soon after it began which some have chalked up to Wagner not wanting to promote tobacco products to children.
Others believe it was a dispute over money.
