The Honus Wagner card was tucked away in family belongings for decades — mixed in with old photos, documents, even a few keepsakes we’re still going through. I’m not a collector by trade, but I’ve come to understand how special this piece is, not just to the hobby, but as a window into a time and a man I deeply admired.
The pencil name on the back? That’s my grandfather, Paul “Stanley” Nicholson. He was a quiet, steady kind of man. Hardworking. Honest. The kind of person who would never imagine his name would one day be connected to one of the rarest cards in existence.
We’re grateful to PSA for their work, and to Heritage for how they’ve treated the story. Whatever the card brings at auction, it’s been an honor to help bring it forward and share it with baseball fans and unique collectors alike..
Thanks again for the thoughtful discussion. We’re watching and learning as this journey unfolds.
Warm regards

If this card reaches the lofty level to which I expect, then think of the jump in value for the PSA7 and its lucky owner.
