The fact that the great Wayne Gretzky has had his grubby mits on it would raise the value of this great card alone.

$2.3 million?

that just makes MJ's and Lebron's seem like a grain of sand compared to the Honus Wagner BEACH!

I'd rather spend $2.3M on Dwight's rather than on Honus, but then again, I am a basketball collector, not baseball.

I do appreciate the value of the card, and what it represents to vintage collectors, but I'm a 'Golden Age' collector, so it doesn't hold much interest to me.

And it will continue to rise and rise. Thats the greatest set in hobby for all sports just about and more so nearer to the golden age of collecting. Back then nearly EVERY kid in America collected rather than todays collectors that despite the amount of product aren't as prevalent.

Im workin on the Boston cards from the T206 set myself albeit ones not in top condition. Great looking classic set.

The HOLY GRAIL of card collecting right there that card.
