Babe Ruth baseball card just got sold for a massive amount of money

On Dec. 4, there was more proof of the growth of sports — this time through the lens of sports memorabilia — after a baseball card of Major League Baseball legend Babe Ruth was sold for $7.2 million dollars. The card was sold at the Robert Edward Auctions (REA) Fall Catalog Auction and was the third-highest sports card ever sold, behind the $12.6 million that a 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle fetched and the $7.25 million a Honus Wagner card was sold for. The Ruth card was a Rookie card — which are the most valuable in the sports card industry — from Ruth's 1914 season playing with his hometown Baltimore Orioles in the minor leagues.
