Overview

  • Fanatics Collect confirmed it brokered the $5.2 million transaction, with both buyer and seller remaining private, and said it is the platform’s highest-value sale after a $3 million Shohei Ohtani card in December.
  • The price surpasses the previous modern-era baseball-card record of $3.936 million paid in 2020 for Mike Trout’s 2009 Bowman Chrome Superfractor autograph.
  • The same Judge Superfractor previously sold for $157,200 in 2020 and $324,000 in 2022 via PWCC Marketplace, underscoring the card’s steep appreciation.
  • Card Ladder ranks the sale among the seven most expensive sports-card transactions, and Judge joins a small group of athletes with a $5 million–plus card alongside names such as Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and Mickey Mantle.
  • A separate one-of-one 2025 Topps Chrome Dual MVP Gold Logoman card featuring Judge and Shohei Ohtani is currently bidding at about $1.2 million on Fanatics Collect with a week remaining.
