Rich Person Amuses Self With $2.3M Baseball Card

Yesterday, the owner of the most famous and rare baseball card -- the Honus Wagner T206 from 1909 -- sold it for a record $2.3 million.

There were only a few cards produced, because Wagner asked the company to stop making them. But the T206 variant purchased yesterday (right) was extra rare because some jokester used Photoshop 0.1 to put in Teddy Roosevelt and the late Ed Delahanty into the card.
