While most of us were deeply concerned about whether the Yanks would lose DJ LeMahieu, Rob Gough dropped a cool $5.2 million for a Mickey Mantle baseball card.

Gough is a part-time actor and the man behind highly successful DOPE CPD. The 1952 #311 Topps Mickey Mantle card was brokered by PWCC, an online auction firm. The card was professionally graded in mint condition and is only one of a few like it in existence.
