An iconic Mickey Mantle card has set a new record for the most expensive baseball card to ever be sold at auction.

According to TMZ Sports, Dope CBD founder Rob Gough recently purchased a 1952 Topps Mantle card graded mint-9 by PSA through auction site PWCC.

The Mantle card broke the record previously set by a 2009 Bowman autographed rookie card of Los Angeles Angels star Mike Trout, which was graded a 9 with an autograph grade of 10. That card sold for $3.9 million in August.

Regardless of grade, the 1952 Mantle card is highly sought after for several reasons, including the fact that it was the first year Topps produced baseball cards.
