News from all over - Los Angeles

The T206 Honus Wagner baseball card is considered the most valuable baseball card in existence, according to SCP Auctions, the new minority owners of the card. SCP said on Tuesday the primary purchaser, a Southern California collector, wished to remain anonymous.

Honus Wagner, a former Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop, was one of the first five players inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Originally released in 1909, there are no more than 60 known cards in existence. The card just sold is believed to be in the best condition of all the known Wagner cards.
