Sports cards have been incredibly hot since the pandemic began, with cards selling for astronomical prices online and at auction. On Wednesday, one of the rarest cards of arguably the most iconic player in history broke another record.
Babe Ruth’s 1914 Baltimore News pre-rookie card sold for just over $6 million, making it the most expensive card purchase in history. There are fewer than 10 of the Baltimore News cards known in existence, and this was the first time the card has changed hands since 2013.
Collectable announced the acquisition on Wednesday, and fans can buy a stake in the card starting at $3 each.
