Philadelphia Cardiologist, Dr. Nicholas Depace, saves the day by buying the Honus Wagner card that was recently auctioned in Heratige Auctions.
This card was being offered by the School Sisters of Notre Dame for their charities. The winning bidder reneged. Mr Doug Walton was the winning bidder, but according to the attached article did not pay. Dr. Depace is planning to display this card in his non profit museum. :)

I like how they called out the bidder that flaked on the auction :D. Sounds like a nice collection!
