“A collector on Friday took what is believed to be the biggest loss in card collecting history when their Babe Ruth card sold for $3.2 million less than what it was bought for in December 2023.



On Friday, 690 days after buying it, the collector sold it for $4.02 million at Heritage — a loss of $4,609 every day they held it.”
The people buying modern off grade basketball cards for $10 million and up could top that some day -- assuming actual sales are taking place.
