In truth, we can't be certain that these so-called highest prices are actually the topmost, because there is a healthy market in private sales outside of auctions, team stores, eBay shops, and trading conferences. Goldin's main rival is Chris Ivy, director of sports at Heritage Auctions, which sold the $12.6 million Mickey Mantle card for Giordano.
