It is much more fun to show the opposite. I found what I paid for this- $49!

Around $13K for a fully signed Introducing . . . the Beatles

Not a lot tbh.

As a gift, £150 a few years back for a PSA 12 x 14 Clint Eastwood photo, classic Outlaw Josey Wales two revolver pose. 

For myself, £95 for a Robert Shaw album page.

I have an opposite of the opposite lol.. 15ish years ago I decided I was done with sports completely. My childhood idols were retired and I didnt want to get suckered into the sports craze any longer. I listed everything I owned at 99 cents at auction and let the buyers determine the value. I had 7 UDA Jordan autographs, a few Kobe autos and LeBron book and auto card with a ton of less valuable items included. The big 3 guys all ended between $250 to $500 each. Someone picked up some great deals. Im not even upset about how much they are worth today. I made my choice for a reason and made peace with it..

The worst thing I let go that i added to the sports lot was a Ghostbusters photo signed in person by Ramis, Murray and Aykroyd. Murray i thought was easy because an ex girlfriend worked at a golf club in the Chicago suburbs and would run into him at least once a year. Ramis was doing events around Chicago and I met him at Columbia College when he debated the movie Happiness. Aykroyd was busy with his cross country bottle signings. The reason I sold it was Ramis signed in a dark area and it always upset me. I was going to hunt them all down again. The photo sold for $80 and with all the money I made from the sports collection, I just dealt with it. This paid off my college debt. 

Ramis died, Murray became harder to get and Aykroyd stopped touring. I still have 11 items signed by Ramis hoping ill find my chance to add the other 2 but so far no luck. I also found someone posted the photo I sold years ago on these forums. I tried to reach out but they never responded. That still stings. But it led me on a major hunt for a replacement item which is when I found my SNL vinyl for $300 that I recently added Chevy Chase to for an extra $130

Anyways, This is why I vowed to never let go of my collection again unless I was broke and it was a life or death situation 

So now, to answer the real question. The most I ever paid (technically its for my wife) is $700 for the Carpenters vinyl I just posted about. Still looking for 100% confirmation on it being authentic and will ask JSA later this month but I believe its ok (I overthink and second guess anyone deceased of high value - not a bad thing to do. Multiple opinions are the best security). I have time to figure it out and still get most of my money back if anything so im not worried.

The 2nd most was over $500 for an authenticated Madonna letter that came with her children's book. I wanted one for years but could never find a deal. News broke she almost died not too long ago and that lit the fire inside of me.
