"A 2013 Aaron Judge Bowman Chrome Draft Superfractor one-of-one signed card has sold via Fanatics Collect for $5.2 million, the most ever paid for a modern-day baseball card. The card eclipsed the previous record posted in 2020 -- $3.936 million for a 2009 Bowman Chrome Draft Prospects Superfractor signed Mike Trout card, which was also one-of-a-kind and numbered "1/1.""
"According to Card Ladder, the Judge sale is tied for the seventh-most expensive sports card sale and is more than 16 times the previous high paid for a Judge card -- $324,000 for the same card in 2022 via PWCC Marketplace (now owned by Fanatics, rebranded as Fanatics Collect). The Judge Superfractor was also sold in 2020 for $157,200 via Goldin Auctions."
"The sale also set a record for a card sold by Fanatics Collect, previously held by an autographed, one-of-one numbered Shohei Ohtani card with a game-used gold MLB logo patch, which sold for $3 million in December. That sale and the Trout and Judge cards represent the only $3 million-plus modern baseball card sales."
