The most expensive sports card is the American Tobacco Company 1909 Wagner from its T-206 series. Included in packages of cigarettes, Wagner demanded that his card be withdrawn; only 50 are known to exist. On 15 July 2000 a PSA-graded NM-MT 8 Wagner sold on eBay for $1,265,000, breaking its own record of $640,500 set in 1996. As two of its previous owners were Wayne Gretzky and Bruce McNall, who bought it in 1991, PSA dubbed the card the "McNall/Gretzky" to distinguish it from the other Wagners. On 31 August 2007, the "McNall/Gretzky" Wagner was sold to an unidentified buyer for a record $2.8 million, just over six months after it was bought for a then-record $2.35 million.
