It is from an orginal owner collection, I believe. So, it was collected. And it will sell for more than I have to spend on a card.

I hope! Who knows what will happen! Did you see the Kobe Bryant/Michael Jordan sale! Cards are crazy right now!

Yea it was just a tongue in cheek comment. Classic Heritage’s fluff.

Just wanted to thank those of you discussing the card and its story. This one has deep roots in our family. My grandfather was born in 1903 in Corydon, Kentucky, and later settled in Arcadia, Florida, where he raised his kids — and where my sister and I spent many summers visiting him and my grandmother.

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
Ky

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.

Be sure to tell the younger people in your family about this aspect of the card.

While someone may purchase it and keep it for the rest of their life, it is not uncommon to see a card like this change hands after the initial sale and it should be one of the top lots at any auction.

The card, and the name on the back, could very well be making it's way through auction houses every few years/decades long past the lives of the people who put it up for sale.

It's a low key hobby legacy, but it's still neat to the family in question.

Really appreciate that — thank you.

I’m not a seasoned collector, and I’m definitely no social media expert, but I’ve been doing my best to document this journey and honor the man behind the name on the back of the card — my grandfather, Paul “Stanley” Nicholson.

It’s been important to me that future generations, long after we’re gone, have a way to trace the card’s roots and understand who first held it dear. I’ve been sharing parts of the story on Instagram (@SandlotPaper1903), mostly as a way to preserve both the family legacy and this unexpected chapter in baseball history.

Your words really stuck with me. Thanks again for the encouragement.
