SPARKS, Nev. — A Nevada man believes he hit the jackpot after his last-minute eBay bid won him a baseball card that could be worth up to $2 million, according to KRNV.

Jason Mars spends his free time on eBay looking for deals. Last month, the mother of all baseball cards – a Honus Wagner card, only one of 57 known cards – was listed on eBay.

“All of a sudden, it was going from $50 to $60 to $70, and within five minutes up real quick, and then went up to $150,” Mars told KRNV. “So I did my last bid at $170, all the money I had in my eBay account, you know, and just hoping and praying that nobody else would bid.”

Mars’ last-minute bid won the item. Despite his excitement, he was anxious while waiting for the card to arrive in the mail.

“I was just stressed, stressed going, ‘Okay, this could be a reprint, this could be something different, this could be not what he saying,'” Mars told KRNV. “When I opened up the package open real slow like this and went, ‘Oh my God, it is the real one. It’s the real deal.'”

Mars will now work to get the card verified by a professional service. Three local experts have already agreed the card is authentic, Mars told KRNV. However, based on the item’s description on eBay, most bidders likely thought the item was a reprint.

An authentic Honus Wagner card can be worth up to $2 million.
