Nuns sell Honus Wagner card for $262,000 (AP)

[The Question]

A rare Honus Wagner baseball card that was bequeathed to an order of Roman Catholic nuns has sold at auction for $262,000. The Baltimore-based School Sisters of Notre Dame put the card up for sale after inheriting it from the brother of a deceased nun. The sale price exceeded the expectations of auctioneers at Dallas-based Heritage Auction Galleries.

Exceeded the expectations? lol.....it was in really poor shape.

I think this was more of a "I'll help the nuns and get my picture in the papers" purchase.
