1952 Topps Mickey Mantle card sells for $12.6 million, shattering record

After more than a month of fanfare, the 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle card with a 9.5 grade from grader SGC—the “finest known example” of a 1952 Topps Mantle—has sold with Heritage Auctions for $12.6 million including buyer’s premium. It’s the most ever paid for any sports item, card or memorabilia.

The previous record for a sports card was $7.25 million, set earlier this month by a T206 Honus Wagner card consigned to collectables marketplace Goldin.
