Aaron Judge card sets modern-era record with $5.2M sale

An Aaron Judge one-of-one autographed baseball card recently sold for $5.2 million, setting a modern-era record, according to ESPN's Dan Hajducky.

The autographed 2013 Bowman Chrome Draft Superfractor of the New York Yankees captain eclipsed the previous $3.936-million record for a modern-era card. That was set in 2020 by a signed 2009 Bowman Chrome Draft Prospects Superfractor of Mike Trout.

The Judge sale is tied for the seventh-most-expensive sports card sale ever, according to Card Ladder.

This one-of-a-kind Judge card also sold for $324,000 in 2022 and was purchased for $157,200 in 2020.

The card's new owner asked to remain anonymous.
