The famous "Gretzky T206 Honus Wagner" baseball card sold for $2.8 million in 2007 but other T206 Honus Wagner cards have recently sold in the $200,000. -$400,000. price range. The "Gretzky T206 Honus Wagner" sells at a higher price because of the history of its past owner, and should not be included as the value of all T206 Honus Wagner cards. There are other cards that have sold for more money than what the T206 Honus Wagner cards are selling for. At one time the T-206 Honus Wagner baseball card was considered to be the rarest baseball card with a population of about three. There are now about 75 -100 known example of the card. There are at least 7 other cards known to be more rare including the 1921 Frederick Foto Babe Ruth card has three (3) known examples.

Why is honus Wagner cards worth so much?

The Honus Wagner T206 tobacco card has a high value because of it's scarcity. At one time there were only three known example of this card. Although there have been many more discovered since, it is still a rare, and sought after card.The 2.8 million dollar 1909 T206 Honus Wagner card was the card that belonged to Wayne Gretzky, and I am sure this is the reason why the price is inflated. When Wayne Gretzky and Bruce McNall bought the T206 Honus Wagner card in 1991 for $451,00 there were also less known example of the card at the time.Other T206 Honus Wagner cards have recently sold in the $200,000. -$400,000. price range. This would be closer to the market value of this card. The famous "Gretzky T206 Honus Wagner" baseball card will have a higher value than all other T206 Wagner cards because of it's history, and should be valued as a separate item.

Why is the the Joe Jackson auto worth only 40000 if it is even rarer that the 1909 Honus Wagner card and the 1909 Honus Wagner card is worth 2 million dollars?

First thing. You are comparing the value of a signature (apples) with the value of a baseball card (Oranges). Two different collectible items, two different groups of collectors. The value of a 1909 T206 Honus Wagner card is not $2 million dollars. This is the value of the "Gretzky T206 Honus Wagner" card which there is only one in existence making it more rare than a Joe Jackson signed baseball.A "Shoeless" Joe Jackson Single signed baseball has a "book Value" of about $25,000.-$40,000. But because they are so rare, it has been a long time since one has sold at auction. The book value is based on older auctions, and cannot be updated until another is sold at auction. In today's market if a Joe Jackson single signed baseball in excellent condition were to be sold at auction it would most likely sell at a record price much more than the current "Book Value"The 2.8 million dollar 1909 T206 Honus Wagner card was the card that belonged to Wayne Gretzky, and I am sure this is the reason why the price is inflated. When Wayne Gretzky and Bruce McNall bought the T206 Honus Wagner card in 1991 for $451,00 there were also less known example of the card. Other T206 Honus Wagner cards have recently sold in the $200,000. -$400,000. price range. This would be closer to the market value of this card. The famous "Gretzky T206 Honus Wagner" baseball card will have a higher value than all other T206 Wagner cards because of it's history, and should be valued as a separate item.With that said. If a Joe Jackson single signed baseball in excellent condition should sell at auction in today's market it just might compete in value with a 1909 T206 Honus Wagner card, but not the ""Gretzky card" which is more rare (only one) than a Joe Jackson signed baseball.See Related Questions below for more info on Joe Jackson Signatures.

How much is a T205 Honus Wagner card worth?

In a word, nothing. It's a replica. Replicas of this card have been printed time and time again. But, then again, it's worth whatever you can get someone to pay for it. The guy above me is right, but if someone just wants a Honus Wagner baseball card real or fake they might buy it. Even though it is worth about nothing. So I would say that the cost is probably somewhere between $0.02 - $1.00
