Honus Wagner T206 Card Sells For $6.6 Million, Most Expensive Sports Card of All Time!
Honus Wagner 'Holy Grail' Card Sells For $6.6 Mil Most Expensive Card Ever!!
A 110-year-old Honus Wagner card -- one of the most coveted pieces of sports memorabilia -- just SMASHED the previous record sale price for a card ... selling for $6.6 MILLION!!
As we previously reported, the "holy grail" 1909-1911 T206 Wagner card recently hit the Robert Edwards Auction block ... and was expected to bring in over $6 million.
Well, that's exactly what happened ... after 26 bids, the card sold for a record price of $6.6 million!!
"This is the Mona Lisa of baseball cards," Robert Edwards' President told us, "and it’s a statement piece of epic proportions."
FYI, the previous record price belonged to a 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle rookie card and a LeBron James rookie card that both sold in 2021 for $5.2 million.
The Wagner card -- graded VG 3 (very good) by graders at SGC -- was made by American Tobacco Company ... and only about 50 to 60 are known to exist.
The identity of the (very wealthy) buyer is not known.
During his 21-year career -- mostly with the Pittsburgh Pirates -- Wagner had 3,430 hits, 101 home runs, 722 stolen bases with a batting average of .329!
Honus also shares the NL record for the most batting titles (8) ever.
The Pirates legend died in 1955 ... but still continues to make history!
