the above image from here is of a card depicting Honus Wagner, an American baseball player, who spent most of his career with the Pittsburgh Pirates (it’s not clear to the Stumblng Tumblr why the card twice shows “Pittsburg” instead of “Pittsburgh”)
a copy of the card is held by, of all places, the British Museum, where a page showing an image of it is accompanied by “Curator’s comments”, as follows:
The card was produced by the American Tobacco Company in 1909, as part of a series, T206, that included more than 500 different baseball-players cards. T206 tobacco cards are among the most widely-collected in the world. Wagner’s card is particularly sought after because its production was stopped in 1909, and it has been estimated that fewer than 100 survive today. It is thought that Wagner, a non-smoker, did not want to influence the young into buying tobacco and therefore requested that the production of his card should cease. It it is also possible, however, that he asked for payment by the tobacco company for the use of his image, which caused the company to halt the production of his card.”

here you will find Giulia Bartrum, a curator at the Museum, reported as saying that one of the most valuable objects in the Museum’s collection of prints and drawings is its copy of the card, apparently popularly described as the “Mona Lisa of baseball cards”; its copy was donated to the Museum in 2006
at the link just given, you’ll also find it being reported that a “fine” example of the card was sold last September for US$2.8M

here is another discussion of, among other cards, the Wagner card
