Wagner earns $2.35 million

No, not Billy. He makes over $10 million.

It's Honus Wagner. The rare 1909 Honus Wagner baseball card fetched $2.35 million at auction. The seller, Brian Seigel, bought the card for $1.265 million for it in 2000.

It is believed that if you hold on to the card, you also turn invisible.

I have a sweet Rance Mulliniks 1985 Topps in a garage somewhere. It's the one in which he's rockin' a killer 'stache. Also, he's sporting flip up shades and eye black

Let's start the bidding at $100

I can top that. I have Rance Mulliniks himself in my garage somewhere. Bidding starts at $100.

Actually, he used to be my cousin's neighbor. Nice guy from what I hear. But he's not really in my garage. As far as I know.

I have about half the pieces to the Stan Musial Diamond Kings puzzle from the late 80's or early 90's. I believe that if you complete it, a rift opens in the space-time continuum and Bob Gibson hits you with a pitch.

Any offers?

I have one of these in my attic:

I know it's only selling for $10 on EBay, but that's only because people don't realize what a totally awesome item this is. It's Joe Morgan. On an soda can. A 1970s-style soda can! And the can is not a can yet! It's still a flat sheet of aluminum!

I don't understand why this isn't the most highly-desired piece of memorabilia in all of sports.

3 And if you don't complete it, Bob Gibson hits you with a pitch anyway.

I have a single blade of grass taken from the Yankee Stadium field after the final game in 1973 (prior to its demolition and rebuilding).

That's GOT to be worth at least ... a buck?
