Can someone buy me this card? ;)

In the news in the Tamba Bay Tribune, a "newly unearthed" Honus Wagner card is coming up for auction. They're calling it the "Chesapeake Wagner" because of the whereabouts of the anonymous collector who's consigned it for auction.

Just for the fun of it I think I am going to sign up for the auction and place a bid.. why not? something stupid like $50K... knowing that this will easily hit the $250K mark... if not more!

That is a cool thing to be discovered for sure. I can't imagine owning such a card. I with they would have posted a photo of the back of the card. I know it's a Sweet Corporal back but I wonder which one. The Sweet Corporal 150 Series 25 back is the most "common" back for the T206 Wagner, but some exist with the Series 30 back. If it is a 30...it could fetch even more at auction.
