Hans Wagner trade card

Hello to all from a 1st time poster. I recently acquired off ebay, a ca 1912 trade card from Carl Joseph Tailors of Chicago It is 5 x 7 inches and folds out to 5 x 14. On the front side is a printed photo of Hans Wagner with bat in hand following thru with a swing. It is the same photo seen on Max Stein postcard. Across the top of the front side are small printed photos of the NY Giants who were in the 1911 series. When you turn the card over there is a scorecard, stats from both leagues, and small photos of the 1911 Phil A's. There are also small photos of J Mcraw, Connie Mack, Ty Cobb, Ed Walsh, and another of Honus Wagner. Are any of you familiar with this item? Does anyone have an idea of its value? I am starting to think this is an unheard of item. Gee, if a baseball card with wagners picture on it, of which there are 50-75 known, can bring 2 mil at auction, what would a one of a kind item bring? Just dreaming a little there!! I have looked everywhere and can not even find a mention of this item at all. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Jim
