Cards selling over 1 million dollars in 2024

[packs]

I was one of the lucky buyers not to purchase a million dollar card in 2014.

3 would be my guess. That run up was awesome for selling junk era junk for silly money that you couldn't give away before or now.

Funny how the costly cards are sold before the market drops

If i bought a million dollar card this is where I would live...

I predict there will be 7 in 2024...

I think the number will continue to go down because spending a million dollars on a baseball card is bonkers.

[JollyElm]

I don't even have a million pennies to spend on a card!! (A pause as readers try to quickly do the math in their heads.)

You gotta know when to hold them and know when to fold them.

I was thinking no more than 6-7 this year myself. Any big sales will be the few FOMO sellers that missed the boat, but are going to try to catch it before it leaves the horizon.

The biggest card of 23', The Topps co-signed Ruth/Ohtani couldn't break 114 last week. This would have been wayyy more just a year ago.

I think they'll be some people holding for a bit and hoping for some dream modern rebound. The only million dollar cards this year are most likely to be 85% vintage.

I guess that makes me a lucky one too because I didn't buy any million dollar cards from 2014 - 2023! I guess there's a good reason for that... I ain't got a million dollars to spend on cardboard.

Anybody want to take a stab at the number of people there are that spent over a million dollars on a single card (let alone $100K)? Obviously, there are people with the resources to do this, but I'm going to bet it's a very small percentage of people that consider themselves hobbyist.

Do those dollars have to be American? If not, I qualify...

Does this one have a shot?

I don't think so--blank bank with horrible centering.

Maybe not in this auction, but still a few days to go and extended bidding. I wouldn’t be surprised if a mid grade blank back hit 1m 5, or 10 years from now. (Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s at the same price either)

2024, 11 is my guess as we under estimate the shiny refractors, patch, 1 of 1, And auto cards of players who are still playing and are close to making it to the HOF. These are status symbol cards for some heavy hitters

I do not see that as a million dollar card right now. I believe it sold for 612k a year or so ago and it is already beating at that with BP($630k) but I do not believe it has enough bids left in it this point to get to $1 million.

It is off center but it does have a nice front, a clean back and is the highest graded by SGC and PSA only has only 2 graded higher (both 7’s and 1 of them sold 2 years ago for over $2 million)

Part of me would be happy if it went for a million now as it help would drive all rookie card values up

There's a PSA 8.5 52T Mantle in Heritage's February auction that is already over $1 million.
