[QUOTE="Raja Gupta, post: 236718, member: 4655"]Thank you so much for the reply! The leaf has been authenticated by Martin Weinkle of Buddenbrooks ([URL]https://www.ilab.org/eng/booksellers/1267-buddenbrooks_inc_.html[/URL]) so seems to have a good provenance. It's really a beautiful leaf, with excellent visual interest (given that it is a title page), as well as historical significance. I looked around at some recent auctions that I could find and seemed that the going rate for a "random leaf" from the second folio is going for around $300. By random, I mean it would be an interior leaf, not a title page, and likely from a lesser known play within the 2nd folio. This one is significantly more expensive. If I purchase this, I would not be interested in reselling, so actual value is not that important to me. Rather, I would love some opinions from the collectors and enthusiasts on this forum on what something like this might be "worth to you" to help me see if how I am thinking of it is reasonable or being colored by "in the moment exuberance." I hope that makes sense![/QUOTE]
