Goldin has shattered the record for the most expensive trading card ever sold with the $7.25 Million private sale of a Honus Wagner T-206 Card. This sale soars past the previous all-time high of $6.6 Million, also held by a T-206.
The following text is from Goldin’s press release.
At $7.25 million, Goldin has just shattered the record for the most expensive trading card of all time, facilitating the private sale of a Honus Wagner T-206 trading card.
The card, which received a grade of 2 from Sportscard Guaranty Corp. (SGC), breaks the $6.6 million record also previously held by a T-206 Wagner card. The previous record-holding edition of the card holds a grade of 3 from SGC.
“I’ve been in this service for a very long time and seen a lot of extraordinary trading cards and pieces of memorabilia, but there is nothing on earth like a T-206 card,” said Goldin executive Chairman and founder Ken Goldin. “There’s a reason why no Wagner card has never sold for less than it was previously purchased for – the card is art, it’s history, it’s folklore. The T-206 is one of the reasons I do what I do and why severe collectors around the world love this hobby so much. To be a part of history and facilitate this record-breaking sale is an honor.”
The T-206 Wagner is one of the undisputed pinnacles of trading cards, with fewer than 50 authenticated copies on earth. It is typically described as “the Mona Lisa of baseball cards” and is part of one of the most popular sets of all time. It features one of baseball’s greatest players and it remains one of the unofficial symbols of trading card collecting.

Over the years, the company and Ken Goldin have sold a lot more than $1.5 billion in memorabilia from lots of of the greatest names in sports, history, and pop culture, setting many records in the process.
