The lot that states "Honus Wagner T206" in the title also indicates in the description that it is a "Honus Wagner rookie card. Rare. Unknown."

I believe the seller is trying to convey that T206 Honus Wagner cards are unknown in the collecting world, and that top bidder on the Holmes to Homes Wagner is an incredibly smart buyer and is seizing the day to capitalize on this hidden unknown T206 card and bidding it to the level it rightfully deserves.

By the way I have a Brockelman Auction contest thead running on here, and each of the potential prizes offered are cards also unknown to the collecting world (but they are at least authentic).

Here's my new favorite. This is truly special. Guy carved this out of wood to memorialize Ruth's one AB from the right side of the plate. That's awfully cool. Pretty uncanny resemblance I daresay.

Legend also has it that when the Babe did bat from the right side, he utilized a right-handed bat.

The first bid over $2,500 is looking like a steal right now..... I'm anxiously awaiting the final sales price. The odds of it being the real Honus rivals the odds of winning the Powerball IMO.

I don't recall ever seeing Ruth with such thick long sideburns. I hope he cleans off the bird poop from the left leg.

I am going to go out on a limb and say the more you spend with ebay the less they will turn you away. That said, every now and then people do get kicked off. I know of several, fortunately. (or unfortunately, I guess)
