The responses are not what I expected. I assumed more collectors on this forum bought higher priced cards.
My most so far is $3,050.00. The card I would pay the most for has never graded a 10 but if one ever hit it would blow away my most expensive purchase.

Many of the highest spenders have little interest in others knowing how much they spent. I've never been anywhere near those numbers, but my most important criteria is whether I believe I could recoup the money if I need to sell the item. I try to buy items that I believe will maintain their value over time.

Steve, yeah, as it turned out buying early Mantles in those days was a great move. I would think that across the grading spectrum the 51 and 52T have probably appreciated as much if not more than any other issues.

Only a few hundred bucks, I'm a minnow. I'd consider spending more purely as an investment like buying ETF's or stocks. What I buy I see in a different way, they're more or less cards I could have had as a kid. I find myself beginning to find some of the pre war cards interesting but I really don't need to start down that road. I think if I was to spend high dollar amounts, I'd probably shift to vintage memorabilia...but damn those Cracker Jack cards sure look nice.
