In possibly the biggest price every paid for a single card a 1963 Graham “Polly” Farmer card recently sold in an eBay Auction for $7,200. The card was in excellent condition.

The seller was Anthony Trigger from APTrigger Sports Card and Collectibles.

The card is one of the most sought after and difficult to find in the 1963 “holy grail” set. There have been various urban legends over the years but perhaps the most credible is that the card was that quite a number were damaged in production and destroyed.

A new high water mark has been set at $7,200.  However is it still a long way off the worlds most expensive card ever – the “Gretzky” Honus Wagner T206 card which sold for $2.8 million!

I still have some, if you would like to PM, - as for my want list "almost nothing" as I am finding it hard to get interested in this years' cards.

Have only bought a few packs T/C & Select apart from the Herald sun ones./
