Baseball card memorabilia collecting is a hobby to many and has been a hobby of mine since childhood. Trading cards was a big pass time for my friends and I. Our game would consist of shuffling cards and then the one with the highest number would win. We were trading cards at the time without knowing the possible future value.

Today I am still an avid card collector and through the years I have built a very impressive collection. My prized possession is a 1909 E93 Honus Wagner, and any serious collector would know and treasure its value. Honus Wagner 1909 t206 sold for a record breaking 2.8 million Dubbed "The Holy Grail" or "Mona Lisa" of baseball cards. This card was once the top prize in a Wal-Mart contest and once owned by hockey player Wayne Gretzky.

Most vintage cards you see today are reproductions of the originals. However there are still few original cards in circulation. Cards like Honus Wagner, Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig are among the few. These cards were collectibles even during the time these players were actively playing; this makes them more valuable today. Many of these cards show wear because the collectors of that time were children.

Collecting baseball cards as a hobby is quite popular with many people. Today collectors are involved in online day trading which brings excitement and sometimes huge profits. More and more collectors are turning to online trading. The majority of card traders today do not have the means to deal with the Wagner and Ruth cards, but even cards of today can rise substantially in value.
