BREAKING NEWS: 1952 Mickey Mantle Rookie Card Sells For Record $12.6M at Auction‼️

Heritage Auctions shocked the trading card world on July 26, when it listed a 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle card for sale. The card, which was given a grade of 9.5 from grader SGC and dubbed the “finest known example” of a 1952 Mantle, quickly became the thing of legend among collectors everywhere -- all of whom began to wonder how high the bidding would go for such an illustrious card.

They got their answer on Saturday, as Heritage Auctions sold the card for $12.6 million -- making it the most anyone has ever paid for any sports item, card or memorabilia. The transaction topped the $7.25 million sale of a T206 Honus Wagner card from earlier this month.

"This card is arguably the finest-condition example of the most iconic post-war card in the world," Chris Ivy, Heritage's director of sports auctions, said in a statement. "That grade, plus the fact it has documented provenance from the most storied find in hobby history, puts this card in a category of its own."
