Fair questions.
I will go out on a limb and say most people, or groups, spending 24 million dollars on a jersey, have done their own due diligence. There were tons of anti-shirt rumors going around but in the end, it brought the price. At least that is how I see it right now.

To answer the question, what's next? No one knows!

The power of suggestion can be strong.

Would love to know who shelled out that much cabbage for it.

Doubt a card company did. Too high to turn a profit on. Even if you cut it into a million pieces.

Doubt an investment group. There's just too much dead money on top.

Doubt a museum did. They are smarter with their money,(spread it around more) and wouldn't put all their eggs in this basket.

My only guess is some billionaire with money to blow.

Who knows ?

$24M is to a billionaire what $2400 is to a guy who has $100k.

Maybe Mr. Beast won it.

Maybe Mohammed bin Salman won it! If he can pay US$450.3 million for Leonardo da Vinci's Salvator Mundi, then what's $24.12 million??

Didn't he pay for the painting with a credit card so that he could get airline miles for his family to fly for free?

Now we pretend like it's actually the jersey worn by Ruth in the game that he is rumored to have "called the shot".
