The hobby goes nuts, just like when the Cobb Red with a BL 350 was discovered. She decides to sell it and donate everything to her church. Heritage is the chosen AH and they send Honus to PSA where it receives a 4.5 grade. The auction will be held in 6 months, so plenty of time for maximum hype. My question is: How much do you think it would fetch? My own feeling is that it could go as high as $50,000,000, the same as a nice Renoir, Picasso or 10 cases of 1945 Chateaux Margaux. This assumes that the card market remains the same as present at the time of auction.

Sounds like you were remembering, except for the condition and back, the nun Wagner from 2010.
