The 1909 T206 Honus Wagner baseball card is considered to be the Holy Grail by many in the sports collectible world, with only a few dozen known to exist.
But another card featuring the Hall of Fame Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop that’s considered to be even rarer is now up for sale.
Robert Edward Auctions in New Jersey is auctioning a 1903 E107 Breisch-Williams Honus Wagner card, the highest graded example of the card.
The auction house says only six of the 1903 Wagners have been graded.
Bidding started at $50,000, with a pre-auction sale estimate above $100,000. The card was up to $110,000 on Wednesday afternoon, with the auction ending Sunday.
For perspective, a 1909 T206 Sweet Caporal Honus Wagner sold for $2.52 million in February. An auction of a different copy of the card ended at $3.25 million last October.
The REA spring auction includes several other Wagner rarities from the early 1900s, like a 1904 schedule with his picture on it that’s selling for $4,800 as of Wednesday afternoon. Seven Roberto Clemente rookie cards of varying grades are also up for grabs, with the highest at $6,000. Autographed rookie cards from Pittsburgh Penguins stars Mario Lemieux and Sidney Crosby are also featured.
