Holy Grail: The T206 Honus Wagner (2013)
The T206 Honus Wagner is the most famous baseball card in the world. Bought and sold many times over, the card has now appreciated to nearly $3 million dollars. But, this gem may have been doctored. From mere speculation, the accusations of alteration have risen all the way to federal indictments. But this is still 'just' a baseball card. It is a small square in the tapestry of our national pastime. And, as the art world readily illustrates, it may be that no matter what was done or not done to 'The Card,' its value really does lie in the eye of the beholder.

Fantastic!
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
30 for 30 Shorts: Holy Grail: The T206 Honus Wagner (2013)Excellent, exciting and at times intense look at the legendary and incredibly rare Honus Wagner card, which is the most valuable and sought after card in history. The most famous of the famous card is one that was bought by Wayne Gretzky, which has went up in value each time it has been sold and the last price was at $2.8 million dollars. Then, after all the bidding, word got out that this nearly flawless card might have been altered so that the value would go up. Baseball fans with limited knowledge of cards will probably know the history of this card but even if you do hearing all the details about this one card is so fascinating that you're literally on the edge of your seat as everything is being told. One of the best moments in the film has us being able dozens of Wagner cards that are still around and compare the quality that they're in. This allows us to see what poor shape most of them are in and how valuable this Gretzky card would be to people. The mystery surrounding this card has yet to be settled but what we know now led to a wonderful little thriller.Episode: A+
