If You Have a Few Million Kicking Around


You may want to bid on an original copy of the Magna Carta.

The Magna Carta (the original is housed in the British Library [see my post below if you're interested in the library]) is an English charter originally issued in 1215. It influenced constitutional law. It influenced our Constitution and Bill of Rights. It is, quite possibly, the most important legal document in history. The image above shows the Magna Carta being signed by King John.

Also, if you're into auction's these days, you may want to get a paddle up for Van Gogh's last painting.

And, since you want something for your wife as well, why not Marie Antoinette's jewelry?
