A 2013 Aaron Judge<\/a> Bowman Chrome Draft Superfractor one-of-one signed card has sold via Fanatics Collect for $5.2 million, the most ever paid for a modern-day baseball card.<\/p>\n

The card eclipsed the previous record posted in 2020 — $3.936 million for a 2009 Bowman Chrome Draft Prospects Superfractor signed Mike Trout<\/a> card, which was also one of a kind and numbered “1\/1.”<\/p>\n

According to Card Ladder, the Judge sale is tied for the seventh-most-expensive sports card sale and is more than 16 times the previous high paid for a Judge card — $324,000 for the same card in 2022 via PWCC Marketplace (now owned by Fanatics, rebranded as Fanatics Collect). The Judge Superfractor was also sold in 2020 for $157,200 via Goldin Auctions.<\/p>\n

“We’re incredibly honored to have brokered this record-breaking deal and to be part of such a momentous moment in hobby history,” Fanatics Collect said in a statement. “As a company, we value our deep relationships with our collectors, with both their trust and our expertise allowing us to continue to help set sale records in the months and years to come.”<\/p>\n

Fanatics noted that both buyer and seller “wish to remain private.”<\/p>\n

The sale also set a record for a card sold by Fanatics Collect, previously held by an autographed, one-of-one numbered Shohei Ohtani<\/a> card with a game-used gold MLB logo patch, which sold for $3 million in December. That sale and the Trout and Judge cards represent the only $3 million-plus modern baseball card sales.<\/p>\n

A card currently at auction with Fanatics could join that group. An on-card autographed, one-of-one marked 2025 Topps Chrome Dual MVP Gold Logoman patch card — featuring game-worn gold MLB logo patches and the signatures of Judge and Ohtani, who have each won three MVP awards since 2022 — sits at $1.2 million with a week to go at auction.br\/]<\/p>\n
