Honus Wagner card that was packaged with Cigarettes. Legend has it
that Hounus did not like the fact they were packaged with tobacco
products and purchased the bulk of them and destroyed them.

how he managed to do this on his reserve clause slave wages I will
never know.

The card was issued in 1909 and is # T-209.

Only four of these cards are left in existence. Hockey great Wayne
Gretzky once purchased one of these cards for the sum of $451,500.

Incidently my dad had the rookie Mickey Mantle card valued at over
$9,000 but my grandmother threw all his baseball cards out when he was
in the service.
