An anonymous buyer and an anonymous seller must have been happy with the results of the online auction of a 1909-11 Honus Wagner baseball card that ended on April 20, 2012. It sold for $1.2 million. Only about 200 of the rare Wagner cards were made and experts think only 60 still exist, many in poor condition. The T206 Sweet Caporal tobacco card, auctioned by St. Louis dealer Bill Goodwin, was in a protective case. The record price for a Wagner card is $2.8 million.
