With all of this banter about how much people are paying for memorabilia, I thought..

Let's hear the absolute MOST you've ever spent on an item. If you collect 6 or 7 types of things, then tells us what was the highest price you paid for one in each category! Don't be shy, or ashamed, were all in it together guys regardless if some of our siblings don't like to play fair, all is welcome.

The absolute most amount of cash I've ever paid (I'm talking cash, not trades, that I'll save for a new thread) for a Baseball Photograph was this $2950 for this gem of the Babe Pitching a Complete game victory over the hated Red Sox.

This scarce image cost me $2950... Certainly not my best buy, but images of the Bambino in is "Yankees" away uniform while tossing a complete game victory are far scarcer the one of him hurling on the mound in his Red Sox garb.

Here's the story...Sept. 28th, 1930 on the last day of the season. Babe hurled a complete game victory against his former team the Boston Red Sox. The final score was 9-3. Read about it here: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/17/sp...ll/17ruth.html
