When was the first time you spent a thousand or more on a piece/card/autograph...

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?

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.
