{"title":"Honus Wagner","description":"\u003cp\u003eHonus Wagner is the Flying Dutchman — the Pirates' shortstop whose 1909-11 T206 tobacco card is the most valuable baseball card in the world and whose career batting average of .328 anchors his Immortal status. Wagner spent 18 of his 21 seasons with the Pittsburgh Pirates from 1900 to 1917, leading the National League in batting eight times and hitting for power, speed, and average at a position dominated until then by defensive specialists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWagner won eight NL batting titles, the most ever for an NL hitter. He's a member of the inaugural 1936 Hall of Fame class. His 723 career stolen bases stood as a record for over 60 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe card collector's view\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWagner's iconic T206 tobacco card from 1909-11 is widely regarded as the most valuable card in the hobby, with only a few dozen known specimens — a true unicorn beyond reach for most collectors.
