Ark. Man Pays $1.6 M For 1909 Honus Wagner Card

RENEE MONTAGNE, host:

And our last word in business comes from John Rogers in Arkansas. And the last word is: what have I done.

Mr. JOHN ROGERS: I woke up Saturday morning and I was - I wouldn't say in a panic, but I was a little almost buyer's remorse going, jeez, that's the largest purchase I've ever made.

MONTAGNE: Last Friday, Rogers spent $1.62 million on a baseball card, but he calls his 1909 Honus Wagner a Holy Grail of cards. The card featuring the famous Pittsburgh shortstop is in near mint condition. As for buyer's remorse, Rogers says a dealer has already offered him $100,000 more for the card than he had just paid.
