As I’ve said many times before, I’m a huge sucker for sports memorabilia, but some numbers are just too mind-boggling for me.
A person bought this card for the price of a very nice mansion! Hell, for $5.2 million, you could get yourself a legit yacht.
Yet, someone decided a trading card was a better way to spend the money.

No matter what you think of the Lakers star (I think he says some insanely stupid stuff), you can’t deny that the man moves the needle. He just does.
Not only does he move the needle, but he moves it to the tune of $5.2 million on the memorabilia market.
