Mickey Mantle slides into home against the St. Louis Browns as Hank Bauer walks to the plate
Mathis' 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle card sold at auction Thursday for $2.88 million, according to the Heritage Auctions website.
The card, graded by Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA) as a 9 on a scale of 10, was being sold by former National Football League offensive lineman Evan Mathis and auctioned by Heritage Auctions. In 2016, a collector paid $3.12 million for a 1909 T206 Honus Wagner, the rarest and most coveted of all cards.
According to ESPN's Darren Rovell, the item recently sold for $2.88 million through Heritage Auctions.
Mathis told The Associated Press last month he acquired the card about two years ago but made a decision to part with it because he needed to free up some money to move his family from Arizona to Tennessee.

The Mantle was the first card in the Topps 1952 high number set, which was the second wave of that year's product. To acquire the card, he traded away "90 percent" of his previous collection and made payments.
But it didn't come cheap for the unidentified winning bidder in Heritage Auction's Spring Sports Card Catalog Auction. 'It was 10 years ago when we last had a Mantle 9 [mint condition] sell, but this sold for 10 times that'. Rovell reported the card could be had for $3,330 in 1988.
The Wagner is valuable because it was discontinued by Piedmont Cigarettes, its manufacturer. Ultimately unsold cards sat in a warehouse for seven years before Topps' Sy Berger attempted to sell them off in bulk.
"I went around to carnivals and offered them at a penny apiece", Berger told Sports Collectors Digest in 2010. 'And it got so bad, I offered them at 10 for a penny'. It was graded a PSA 5, one of the best-conditioned copies of the card in existence.
