1895 Omaha cabinet photo...bought it from Terry Knouse about 6 months ago for $1,000. It is the most I've ever spent on one item.

A few years ago I bought this bound volume of a short-lived baseball publication from 1885 for a bit over a grand.

I think the first expensive thing I bought was an 1873 Bostons Bostons cabinet originally from the Jim Copeland collection. I bought it from a Net54 member via eBay. It came in a custom plastic sleeve with Copeland's name on it.

Joseph- what publication is that? Is it just called the Official Record?

[base_ball]

Barry: The name on all subsequent pages (other than the page one graphic) is "Official Baseball Record". There are a number of individual issues from the second volume (mine is the first) available for sale at Timothy Hughes Rare Newspapers where you can see all sorts of scans of pages. This is a really nice publication.

So far as I can tell, there aren't any grapes on the Net 54 forum.

Card is great but is MC. Slabbed as a GAI 8 for now. Will be in SGC slab on the 4th of SEPT.

Thanks Joseph. That's one I'm not familiar with.

This is the most I have ever paid for a muffin

[BillyCoxDodgers3B]

Timmy's muffins are fresher than that! That book wouldn't taste good with a large double-double!
