The "Finest Known" 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle Up For Auction

[George K]

The auction ended last night. The card sold for $12,600,000.00.

Wow. That's a big return on a $50,000 (I think that's the amount the owner paid) investment. Crazy.

Imagine how the guy who sold it for $1000 in 1985 feels right now.
