  • Why is the 1909 T206 Honus Wagner baseball card worth millions of dollars? Why is it one of the most valuable sports cards of all time? Our Founder, Ken Goldin, explains the iconic history behind the card, and why the wealthiest collectors have long desired to own one for themselves.
    On 5/21/2021, we sold this exact card for a record $3,660,000.
    RARE: A Goldin Content series where we take a deep dive into the stories that make certain items so special and unique.

    Just came to know about Goldin two days ago thru Netflix. Watched all the episodes without break. I am a small Funko grail collector and I became a huge fan of Ken with each and every member in Goldin. I wish I could work there. Please bring out more season.

      Honus Wagner didn't smoke or drink and felt that his image should not be used to promote smoking products as they could entice younger fans to take up smoking. As a result very few of his cards were produced. Hence the value as they are extremely rare.

    The print run on this card was insanely low. (Maybe 100-125 total cards) Whichever of the three stories about the reason the card was pulled, it was a single printing with only a few backs. I don't think we will ever see more than 5 new discoveries surface in the next 200 years. It's just that rare. It is history plain and simple. The monatery value is a bonus.

    Only Wagner saw through the malicious greed of the tobacco companies trying to get children into smoking early. Or perhaps he was the only one who cared enough to actually take a stand.
