For years, the T206 Honus Wagner reigned supreme not only as the most famous, but the most expensive of all baseball cards, famously selling for $1 million in 2000.

And while other, more modern cards usurped Wagner in the following two decades, the card regained its dominance earlier this month with a $7.25 million sale.

The reign didn’t last long, though. A 1952 Mickey Mantle from Topps — already the third-priciest card in history — became the most expensive sports card of all-time when it sold on Saturday for $12.6 million, shattering the previous record.
