Texas Rangers slugger Josh Hamilton back in 2012.

The legend of "Shoeless Joe" lives on.

A PSA 8 copy of Joe Jackson's 1909 E90-1 American Caramel card rocked the auction block on Sunday morning and, along with one other high-grade icon from the past topped a combined $1.1 million in an SCP Auctions sale.

The Jackson sold for $667,189 and is one of only two cards to receive that grade and none are higher.

”We are thrilled with the results of our biggest summer auction to date," said SCP Auctions Vice President Dan Imler. "The market for 'best of the best' sports cards and historic memorabilia continues to show incredible strength.”

There have been bobbleheads, meetings with Hank Aaron, a news conference to address Internet death rumors, an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and plenty of other attention for a bichon frise mix, but there's about to be a new chapter in the life of Hank, the dog taken in by the Milwaukee Brewers.

He's getting an official Major League Baseball card.
