The trading card that the National Baseball Hall of Fame calls the sport’s “most famous collectible” will be up for sale next month and might fetch more than $2.8 million, according to the auction house.
The 1909 card of Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Honus Wagner will be included in the February 2013 auction at Goldin Auctions, according to a release on the company’s website. The card is graded Excellent 5 by Professional Sports Authenticator, and could eclipse the record $2.8 million sale price that a version of the same card attracted in 2007, the release said.
