Metro Atlanta man set to cash in on extremely rare baseball card
Metro Atlanta man set to cash in on extremely rare baseball card
by: Anthony Amey Updated: May 12, 2017 - 3:15 PM
ATLANTA - Can you imagine selling your most prized possession for the sake of your family??
That’s exactly what J. Ross Greene is going later this month when he auctions off one of the rarest baseball cards that exists in the world.
Greene is one of only a handful of people who own a Honus Wagner T206 baseball card that originated in 1909. ... The Peachtree City man's card is the only one that can be traced back to the original owner from more than a century ago.
....
Experts expect Greene’s to fetch anywhere from $500,000 to $1 million when the auction ends on June 10. ... That’s not a bad payoff for Greene, who told Channel 2’s Anthony Amey that he purchased the card for just $48,500 in 1996.
