Now, he's adding Max Muncy Jersey a really choice piece the1969 black Fender Stratocaster (aka "The Black Strat") played by Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour on iconic albums such as "The Dark Side of the Moon" and "The Wall Babe Herman Jersey ."
Such a rarity didn't come cheap at the Christie's New York auction Thursday. That's an auctionrecord for a guitar. But as owner of the Hyun-Jin Ryu Jersey Colts (estimated value: $2.4 billion), Irsay can afford some really expensive toys. AsPink Floyd noted in their 1973 hit, "Money," "Get a Jackie Robinson Jersey good job with good pay and you're OK Think I'll buy me a football team."
While the auction officials had estimated the guitar would fetch somewhere between $100,000 and $150,000, some serious bidders drove the price up. Irsay shared his joy after his winning bid.
