In the early days tobacco companies were the producers of baseball card and included them with their cigarettes.
Honus Wagner was among the greatest shortstops in the world and he did not want to promote smoking so in 1909 when Sweet Caporal and Piedmont started giving out the current set Honus Wagner had his card pulled. As a result less than 60 are known to exist and few of them in mint condition.In July 2000 a T206 Honus Wagner card once owned by Bruce McNall and Wayne Gretzky sold on eBay for a smoking $1.27 million USD.
