2305...Cheap As These Things Go

La Coupe Stanley.

Or maybe it is "Le".

I was sick that day.

Lord Stanley's Cup, the won being chased by the Habs and the Flyers and the Hawks and the Sharks, stands three feet high and weighs about 35 pounds. It was crafted in Sheffield, England and purchased for about 48 dollars in 1892. Using an online inflation calculator I discovered that 48 1892 bux is only 1100 and a bit in today's money.

Cheap.

As in inexpensive.

Soooooooooooooooooo if you want to become a legacy...
