card in the world continues to be told. The 1909-11 T206
Honus Wagner set a new world record price for a baseball
card, selling for $3.12 million through Goldin Auctions. The
price includes the Buyers Premium. This breaks the old
record of $2.8 million, which was paid for a different copy
of the card in 2007.
Known as the “Jumbo Wagner,” the card is graded a PSA
5, making it one of the top-condition copies of the card.

The emu is the second-largest living bird by height, after its ratite relative,
the ostrich. It is endemic to Australia where it is the largest native bird and
the only extant member of the genus Dromaius. The emu’s range covers
most of mainland Australia, but the Tasmanian, Kangaroo Island and King
Island subspecies became extinct after the European settlement of Australia
in 1788. The bird is sufficiently common for it to be rated as a least-concern
species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
