Nice. I always loved maps but never ventured since it would have impacted m=
y numismatic hobby. The world globe maps are my favorite. John Speed and su=
ch ... need more $$$ <BG>. Swann Galleries has a good map auction. When I w=
orked in NYC I attended every lot viewing for 3-4 years. They still send me=
highlight notices each year for their standard annual auction. Nothing lik=
e Christies or Sotheby's but some nice maps at more down to earth prices. B=
ought several early U.S. maps that I eventually sold.=20
See here of my favorite type of early map:

In terms of your pic: $2M and it does not even show KALIFORNIA as an ISLAND=
