There's also a Jackson up to $10K

Plank is at $55K

Mantle is at $430K

...so, at least these bidders , don't have a 'investment' story of the kind you are asking.

Question: Has there ever been a single card besides the Wagner that sold for more than $500K?

Privately, there have been several cards that have sold for more than $500K - PSA 10 1951 B Mantle, PSA 9 1952 T Mantle, PSA 8 T206 Plank, etc.

In auction, the only other card that I can think of off of the top of my head is the SGC 3 Baltimore News Ruth in REA several years ago.
