The "Holy Grail" of baseball cards

CHESAPEAKE, Va. (AP) - July 29, 2010

A Chesapeake, Va., coin shop is displaying one of the rarest of all baseball cards.

It's a 1909 Honus Wagner card, one of only about 100 known to still exist.

It's being shown at Dominion Coin this week.

The card is now owned by a Baltimore convent.

It was left to the nuns by the brother of one of the sisters.

It's up for auction in Texas next week.

A Honus Wagner card in pristine condition has sold for more than two million bucks.

This one is worn and is expected to go for about 150-grand.
