On January 20, 2012, a rare first edition of John James Audubon’s illustrated Birds of America will be auctioned at Christie's auction house in New York. "The four-volume set, fully adorned with 435 color illustrations, is worth an estimated $7 to $10 million."
I'm curious just to see if Birds of America even fetches the estimated value of $7 to $10 million. It must be nice to have several million dollars around at your disposal just to purchase a rare first edition!
UPDATE 1/20/2012: The rare first edition of John James Audubon’s illustrated Birds of America fetched a cool $7.9 million at auction!
