What is your biggest single card purchase

[rainier2004]

Great cards to all - Barry, Ive spent some time looking at that Matty of yours.

This is mine, nothing will ever top it. I will be paying this off for a little while into 2013 and isnt even my favorite CJ. This purchase was a long talk with my wife as I was outta work for a couple weeks when I made this purchase...I also tend to round down when talking to the wife.

Don't remember my biggest single card purchase, but I bought about $2500 worth of "junk" from BBCE about 2 years ago. My now ex-wife got an email alert for any CC purchase over $125. Steve Hart graciously broke up the payments in increments of $124 so she would never know. Paid him about $20 extra for the extra CC charges.

Great cards everyone. Was able to purchase the bottom panel shown in this REA link, Cobb/Wagner, with the kind help and assistance of one Brian McQ.

This is it, the favorite card in my collection:

Not expensive at all relative to most of the cards posted so far, and technically it is not a card, but it is the most I've paid for a card, and almost twice as much as the second most I've paid.

Dave, awesome Wagner, the more I see the m110, the more I want one.

Wow.

Well, here's one for all of us with smaller budgets.


I'm pretty sure this is the card I paid the most for. Around 235.

The most I've spent on a lot was about 700 for the little batch of 8 SL blankbacks I got from Ebay maybe 10 years ago.

Of course I'm not counting nice stuff I bought decades ago when it was cheap. Probably the best buy was the Carolina Brights Red Cobb. A beater, but it was only fifty bucks.
The early 1900's Fred Parent bat I got in a swap for a modern store bat after it got cracked in a softball game is probably the best non-card deal.

The M110 set is really cool, they look fantastic in person. Best looking set out there IMO. I only have the Wagner, but who knows, maybe sometime in the future I will try to go after some of the others.

Not the most expense I paid but now worth the most. Got a 1914 CJ Marquard at small dealer in NYC for $200 some 15 years ago. Ungraded and, frankly, i didn't know then if '14 or '15 or if a reprint. Sent it away to PSA about three years later and happily found out it was 1) legit 2) a NM and 3) the highest graded. All those things still true these many years later.

Ain't that the truth

I've been looking for this card for a while. Picked up last week on Ebay.

The most expensive card I've ever bought is Nelson's T206 Plank (Carter Collectoin). However, since I no longer own it, I guess I should be sharing my signed T206 of Walter Johnson, which comes in at several thousand more than any other card I've ever bought outside of the Plank. (Honoable mention go to the Magie I no longer own, and the 1951 Bowman Mantle SGC 60 I just added.)
