Yes, but it's subjective......and it's "greatest card ever auctioned", not "top selling card of all time", that would have been the better title.

Greatest Card Ever Auctioned is and was the Baltimore Ruth.

I'll wager a $1000 bucks that would beat this.

.....and it's in lesser condition. The KO.

I won't wager but yes, my answer is value based. And the only BN Ruth I could ever afford would be, possibly an NFT if one came out.
Value aside, of course I like the Ruth over the Mantle...I am a pre war guy

Whoever bought this at a little over $12,000,000 made an amazing buy as a collectible or as an investment, with this provenance(Rosen Letter/SGC Flip Slab 1985 Rosen Find Finest Example SGC Slab 9.5) it was a no-brainer! Congrats.

This specific card regardless of its holder or what you think of the card is only going up in the future. I hope the new owner cherishes the card :-)

All I can say is Bravo!
