2.8 million reasons to rue the day your mother threw out your baseball cards
Known alternately as the Mona Lisa or the Holy Grail of baseball cards, one of those 1909 Honus Wagner trading cards
that were issued by the American Tobacco Company just sold for $2.8 million. This particular Wagner card was sold by Las Vegan Brian Seigel to an unidentified Southern California man back in February. The new owner is also unidentified but may come forward eventually. The baseball card is said to be in tip-top shape.
When this same Wagner card passed hands in February, the price was $2.35 million so the $2.8 million it just went for means a 19 percent appreciation in six months.
So, how are those mutual funds doing?
