    Winners final bid was over two hours before end of auction. Two recorded underbidders in the final seconds at $64 and $110. Who knows how many other snipes missed out.

    Not quite a record actually, I think paid a bit more than that for my 1968 set to go with my -68 Speedy in late 2016. Loss a set just before I got mine for just under $200 if I'm not mistaken.

    February 2015 - $107.5

    I remember when you could buy these for a few dollars until some idiot posted a thread about astronauts wearing them.
