WASHINGTON | A rare Stephen Strasburg baseball card is hitting the auction block again. Bidding opens for the autographed 2010 Bowman Prospects rookie card at $9,000 at noon Wednesday. Huggins and Scott, a sports memorabilia auction house in Silver Spring, Md., is hosting the two-week online auction. The anonymous owner tried to sell the card on eBay in June, but that auction ended when outrageous bids exceeding $900,000 could not be verified. Though the Washington Nationals pitcher may be the most buzzed-about rookie in Major League Baseball this year, Bill Huggins, co-owner of Huggins and Scott, says he believes the Strasburg card may fetch only $50,000. It was originally purchased inside a box of baseball cards for $275. The auction will end July 28. ___ Online: http//www.hugginsandscott.com
