Babe Ruth's jersey from the 1932 World Series game, where he famously pointed to centre field before smashing his legendary "called shot" home run, remains the most expensive collectible. The 2007 Upper Deck Michael Jordan-Kobe Bryant card replaced the 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle as the most expensive sports card ever sold in 2025.
