3. Honus Wagner Baseball Card - Southeastern Antiquing & Collecting card for less than $1 million, hold onto it for a while, and then be the first personto sell a baseball card for So where is the now famous honus wagner card? http://www.go-star.com/antiquing/hwagner.htm

The Tale of the $640,000 Baseball Card by Mik McLeod In 1996, a 1910 "Honus" Wagner T-206 card sold for an incredible $640,000 to investor Michael Gidwitz of Chicago. How, you ask? Or rather, why would anyone pay that huge sum? Wagner, "The Flying Dutchman," was a great shortstop for the Pittsburgh Pirates, hitting 101 home runs between 1897-1917 - out hit by only eight other players. While scarcity of the card contributed to its price, it was not the deciding factor. According to the Society for American Baseball Research, there are at least 58 cards in circulation. But this card is the only known mint condition Honus card, and it has a unique story to tell. Even before the Honus Wagner card began selling for big bucks, mystery surrounded it. Some say Wagner had the tobacco card pulled off the market because he neither smoked nor chewed tobacco. He reportedly did not like the image it portrayed. Others have said Wagner chewed tobacco but pulled the card because the tobacco company didn't pay him a royalty. Either way, the move limited the number of Honus tobacco cards and drove up the price. But the card's story gets better. In 1991, the card came into the hands of "The Great One," Wayne Gretzky, and LA Kings hockey team owner Bruce McNall who jointly purchased it at auction for $451,000. After McNall went bankrupt in 1994, Gretzky coughed up another $225,000 to become its sole owner.

BORN: 24 February 1874. DIED: 6 December 1955. BURIED: "Saga" from the Bulletin Index 7 September 1939. The late John J. McGraw thought Honus Wagner was baseball's greatest player, and so thinks many another oldtimer today. Few years ago baseball scribes reverently passed bowlegged Pirate Wagner into baseball's Hall of Fame at Cooperstown, N. Y., making him first, along with Ty Cobb and Babe Ruth, to cross the threshold of diamond immortals. Nor is Honus Wagner without honor in his own city. "Wagner Days" were common in 1902, 1903, 1909, years when the Flying Dutchman and the Pirates were bowling over the rest of the National League. There was a Wagner Day all over the circuit when he stepped out of active, major-league playing harness in 1917, and another day of kudos when he returned to the Pirates as a coach in 1932. Wagner Day this weekSaturdaymay or may not be the last to find Honus in active service. He is 65 and silver-haired now, and has made a living out of baseball for 50 years. John Peter Wagner, born in Carnegie (then Mansfield) of German extraction, played on sandlot teams as a youngster, along with his four brothersAlbert reached the majors, had a long professional career as a shortstopand first made a name for himself with St. Luke's in the Allegheny County League.

Honus Wagner biography John Peter Wagner was born in Carnegie, Pennsylvania on February 24, 1874. He was one of nine children born to Catherine and Peter Wagner. Peter Wagner, an immigrant from Bavaria, worked in the coalmines to support his family. From the age 12 until age 16, Wagner worked in the mines with his father. At age 16, Wagner left the mines to work briefly for his brother Charley, who had a barbershop. Wagner's passion was baseball and his brother Al got him a shot with Steubenville, Ohio's team in the Tri-State League. Wagner was an outfielder and was paid $35 per month. He was an instant success and advanced to Patterson, New Jersey in the Atlantic League where he caught the eye of Louisville, Kentucky - then a member of the National League. Louisville managed to buy Wagner's contract from Patterson for $800. Wagner began his major league career as an outfielder for Louisville in 1897 and hit .338 that year. When the Louisville franchise folded following the 1899 season, owner Barney Dreyfuss bought Pittsburgh and asked Wagner to go with him. Wagner went to Pittsburgh and became one of the greatest Pirates ever. He hit .381 in 1900 and won his first of eight National League batting titles. Wagner helped the Pirates win three consecutive National League pennants in 1901, 1902, and 1903. bodyOffer(1094) In 1903, Wagner finally became a full-time shortstop after playing all over the field for many years. That year he helped the Pirates to win the first World Series ever played and picked up a batting title of his own. Wagner was bow-legged and stocky so he didn't look like an average shortstop. His opponents were amazed with his defensive skills. Wagner topped the National League in doubles seven times, in slugging six times, in RBIs five times, and in stolen bases five times. In 1909, Wagner helped the Pirates win yet another pennant. The Pirates also won the World Series Championship in 1909 after beating the Detroit Tigers in seven games.
