<https://rbms.info/vocabularies/provenance/tr4.htm> If you do want to give
it it's own OCLC record, you'd have to catalog it as a unique manuscript,
with a devised title along the lines of "Copy of [Title] annotated with
prices realized" in order keep the OCLC Gods happy. As a researcher and
special collections librarian, this would be my preferred solution. As a
cataloger, I wouldn't do it unless there was something really really really
special about that particular auction. At least, I wouldn't do it now. Once
we have the WEMI Catalog of My Dreams, I'd give access to that specific
copy.EB.
