According to Collectable, a Baltimore News pre-rookie card of Ruth sold for $6 million, making it the most expensive card ever sold. Ruth is depicted in the minor leagues on the card. In 1914, Ruth was a member of the Baltimore Orioles of the International League. The team's owner, Joseph B. Frederick, offered $10,000 for the right to issue cards of his player. The card was issued by an advertising agency in Brooklyn and sold for ten cents.
Ruth went on to become one of the greatest baseball players of all time. He played in New York City for nineteen seasons and finished with a career batting average of.300. During that time, he led the Yankees to eleven World Series victories and earned the nickname "The Man Who Conquered Baseball". In 1939, five years after his death, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed into law a bill designating October 2 as a national holiday in honor of Babe Ruth. This marked the beginning of what is now called "Babe Ruth Day".

The card is #30 in the series. The highest number ever used was 42; there are still several remaining in the set. The lowest number used was 1; there are also several of these left as well.
The Rookie Card Value of Trevor Lawrence The Leaf All American Bowl Auto 1/1 #AU55, which sold for $6,600 via eBay auctions on 1/6/2021, is Trevor Lawrence's most expensive rookie card to date. The 20 Greatest Michael Jordan Basketball Cards of All Time article on ESPN.com lists this card at $10,000.
Lawrence was drafted first overall by the Clemson Tigers in 2019. This makes him the highest-drafted player from a school not in the NCAA Division I FBS football conference (which includes schools such as Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, LSU, Miami, North Carolina, Ohio State, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Virginia) since the draft began in 1947. He is also the first player from a school outside the Atlantic Coast Conference to be selected number one overall.
Leaf fans could have bought a complete set of Lawrence cards for $6,600 in January 2021. But on 1/6/2020, an auction on eBay featuring all eight 2020 Topps NBA Draft cards including the one of Lawrence went for $40,400 - more than double the price of the cheapest card!

A 1992-93 John Kruk rookie card is the most expensive baseball card ever sold at $3.6 million.
In 2011, an Eric Gagne rookie card was sold at auction for $2.5 million, setting a new record for baseball cards. The card was authenticated by two different experts, who both confirmed their validity. It was estimated to sell for $1.5-$2 million but no one was willing to pay that much for it.
Finally, a buyer came forward at the end of the auction but only paid $2.3 million, which is still a record for any card in any sport.
The card is now on display at Heritage Auctions in Dallas, Texas.
Heritage Auctions has identified several other rookie cards that could potentially break the $2 million mark.
