The card was designed and issued by the American Tobacco Company (ATC) from 1909 to 1911 as part of its T206 series. Wagner refused to allow production of his baseball card to continue, either because he did not want children to buy cigarette packs to get his card, or because he wanted more compensation from the ATC. The ATC ended production of the Wagner card, and a total of only 50 to 200 cards were ever distributed to the public (the exact number is unknown), as compared to the "tens or hundreds of thousands" of T206 cards, over three years in sixteen brands of cigarettes, for any other player. In 1933, the card was first listed at a price value of US$50 in Jefferson Burdick's The American Card Catalog (equivalent to $1,200 in 2023), making it the most expensive baseball card in the world at the time.This is a highly sought-after 1909-11 T206 Reprint sports trading card featuring Honus Wagner of the Pittsburgh Pirates from the Major League (MLB). The card is made of high-quality card stock with a thickness of 20 Pt. and is a licensed reprint from the manufacturer. It is a limited edition with a short print and a parallel/variety mini version. The card is in English and depicts the Sweet Caporal Variation of Honus Wagner during the 1909 season. This is a must-have collectors' item for any baseball fan and is a great addition to any sports memorabilia collection. (((Want more pics of item in listing?
