Even first editions of GR don't cost that much, the main branch of Powell's books had 3 of them for only around $15-20, and that was for hardback books.

I have a new first edition of Sons and Lovers by D.H. Lawrence between an original newspaper cut-out of the first installment of Bleak House and Wittgenstein's first draft of his dissertation, underneath original epistles by St. Paul, Henry James' diary, Hemingway's suicide note, Love's Labour's Won, and a collection of original fragments by Heraclitus, each with the author's autograph, which are--of course--personalized to me as well as, when applicable, used "shag my wife" coupons (which are also autographed.)

But that's still cool that you have a DFW autograph.
