Which of you guys bought this?

Babe Ruth is a record holder again.

A Baltimore News pre-rookie card of Ruth sold for $6 million, making it the most expensive card ever sold, according to Collectable.

The card features Ruth in the minor leagues. Ruth played in the International League with the Baltimore Orioles in 1914. The card features Ruth from that era. The card lists Ruth only as a pitcher. He received only 10 plate appearances as a hitter with the Boston Red Sox later that season.

The card is rare. Fewer than 10 are known to exist.

Fans who were unable to drop $6 million on the card may have a second chance at owning a piece of history. Collectable — an "investing platform and community for sports fans" — is selling $3 shares of the card to fans.
