$1000 bucks!!!
Well, I am generally one of the fishes lost in a sea of mediocrity, though never an "armpit" collector, as I find that phrase utterly disgusting...as such, my best cards are generally in the $50-100 price range.
However, I have parted ways with $1000 or a little more on two occasions in my collecting life, and they were both excruciating exercises in self-reflection...happy to say, though, that I still have each of the items and I have never regretted obtaining either. I will try to post scans when I get home tonight, but they are: 1) a Kirby Puckett GU bat, PSA 7 for $1200 from an auction house (my only-ever auction house purchase) and 2) a T200 Pittsbugh, SGC 60 with strong image quality for $1000 from a fellow board member

Clemente single signed
First time I spent over $1000 (and it was well over the $1000 mark, although a good deal based on today's value) was on this Clemente single. I since sold it and miss it a lot =( I only collect Gehrig and Clemente, but back when I bought it, I didn't focus on these two.

Back around 92, soon after the Louisville find, I decided to pick up a bat that was used by my father's favorite player, Paul Waner. So I chose this O'Doul bat that has Paul Waner sidewriting. It is from 7-8-33, right around the time of the first all star game.

It's been well over four months since the last post in this thread...
and the net54 board has seen substantial growth in that time. So I felt a bump was in order to give the newer members a chance to post or if anyone else has made the plunge!
This Paul Thompson image of Nap Lajoie was the second time I dropped a thousand for a piece ($1,000 plus shipping). This one is in spectacular condition and comes from the 1996 Christies/Baseball Magazine Archives auction and has said hologram and Thompson's stamp on the back. lajoiebypaulthompson.jpg
