What is your biggest single card purchase

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.

Well, this appears to be yet another chance to show off Mr. Apple Tyrus

All you high roller cards make me jealous! (j/k)

But I have the best girlfriend in the world of 15+ years who NEVER gives me grief about buying cards and is actually interested in what I buy and supports my collecting habits, so there! (j/k again)

Most expensive purchase, though not nearly most valuable card, was the '55 Clemente RC I picked up at the National last year. But I very well may pass that mark at this year's National. LOL

But to keep this pre-war appropriate, I did pick this guy up about 3-4 years ago for $35 (with a partially missing back). "Beat but neat" is my catch phrase!
