I have said it a thousand times but cards like this are bragging rights pieces. This is a Pop 3 with only 6 PSA 9's and 3 PSA 10's. If you own a copy of a Mantle in this grade you are in rare company and at the end of the day that matters when it comes to price.
A PSA 9 sold for 3.4 million so this price isn't shocking at all.

Any story on where the card came from or was found? It does look pack fresh, those borders look snow white.
Going to have to look into the 9 copy that sold for 3.4 mil. I don't recall hearing about that one?
Edit: Seen it was traced back to Al Rosen's find.

Any card cracking the million dollar barrier is certainly good press for the hobby we all love.

More than likely the case, and I agree with your "Is certainly good for the hobby" opinion.
