This vintage-style magnet features the iconic 1909-1911 T206 Honus Wagner baseball card, one of the rarest and most valuable cards in existence. The design showcases Wagner in his Pittsburgh Pirates uniform, capturing the essence of one of baseball's greatest players during the Dead Ball Era.
Key details about Wagner's 1909 season:
- .339 batting average, 5 home runs, 100 RBIs
- Led the National League in doubles (39) and slugging percentage (.489)
- Helped lead the Pirates to a World Series victory
The T206 Wagner card is renowned for its scarcity, with only 50-200 ever distributed to the public. Wagner reportedly demanded the American Tobacco Company cease production of his card, either due to his stance against tobacco or compensation disputes.
For collectors, it's worth noting that in 2022, a T206 Wagner card sold for a record-breaking $7.25 million, highlighting its immense value in the sports memorabilia market.
Made from durable materials, this magnet is perfect for displaying on refrigerators, lockers, or any magnetic surface. It's an ideal way for baseball enthusiasts to showcase their appreciation for one of the most iconic and valuable cards in the game's history.
