This undated photo shows
a T206 Honus Wagner baseball card. A Baltimore convent is getting
some help for its charitable mission from an unexpected source: this
rare, century-old card. The School Sisters of Notre Dame inherited
the baseball card
from a late nun's brother after he died earlier this year. About 60
of the Wagner cards are believed to exist, the most famous of which
sold for $2.8 million. The nuns' card is in poor condition but is
still expected to fetch up to $200,000 at auction next month.
