Reprint Card one of the World's Most Valuable BASEBALL Cards You are bidding on a Reprint Card of the World Famous 1909 Piedmont Tobacco T-206 Honus Wagner Baseball Card. This reprint card is in NEAR MINT to MINT condition. Honus Wagner, who played shortstop for the Pittsburgh Pirates, was one of the five original inductees into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Wagner batted over .300 in 17 consecutive seasons and was the National League batting champion eight times. Why is the 1909 Honus Wagner baseball card so valuable? The earliest baseball cards were produced and distributed by tobacco companies, and according to legend, the Honus Wagner card was pulled from the American Tobacco Company's 1909 set due to Wagner's objection to the use of his image for the promotion of tobacco products. It is estimated that only 50 to 100 of these cards exist today, and one was sold at auction in 2022 for a record ($7,250,000). You will see a Honus Wagner card among the baseball cards exhibited on the second floor of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. FREE SHIPPING TO USA.
