    I would love to know what Andre Dawson's 1977 Topps RC was worth. I'm guessing it was $60 at the time.

    Thanks

    Wow, that pub's a blast from the past.
    "My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."

    Were the 88's listed? Could I have loaded up on Gregg Jefferies Donruss and Fleer rookies?
  • mrmint23mrmint23 Posts: 2,249 ✭✭✭
    Check on 87 fleer Will Clark.
  • hyperchipper09hyperchipper09 Posts: 1,455 ✭✭✭✭✭
    wonder if that was around the time that Clark's 87 Fleer was $35 or so.

    Seitzer was $9 for a Fleer rookie.

    There are no 1988 prices. It is January of '88, so I don't think they were out yet.

    1987 Will Clark:
    Topps - $2.75
    Donruss - $3.00
    Fleer - $2.50

    BTW - 1986 Topps Traded Barry Bonds.... $0.75

    And only 5 months later...the 1952 Topps set is at $26,562.

    Only $4500 for a Mantle.

    I have heard it said among veteran collectors that the 52 Mantle didn't really "take off" until it hit the $1,000 dollar mark, then it gained notoriety as an actual investment vehicle in the early part of the go-go 80's and started an exponential growth climb. In fact, I believe it actually declined in value during the inflation/recession period of 79-81.

    I have a price guide from 1980 if anyone wants to go further back in the time machine.

    Now that was a red hot card in August-September '88. On many wantlists before then but late in the 88 season I remember one of our local dealers pricing one for something like $45 when it was $20 or $24 in the beckett guide.
    And speaking of beckett monthly guides, I've got the Jan/Feb 1986, Nov/Dec 1986, Jan/Feb 1988 , October 1988 and May 1990 issues on hand and easy to get to.

    from the j/f 1986: 55 Topps: Koufax $70....Killebrew $35...Clemente $135....and that's enough to make me sick without going any further image

    I would be curious to hear some prices. Henderson, Murphy, Brett rookies...

    What's the highest priced card that has the same price in 1988 and 2014?
  • msassinmsassin Posts: 1,564 ✭✭✭
    CCP in the late 80's was a must for pricing non-baseball sports cards.

    << <i>What's the highest priced card that has the same price in 1988 and 2014? >>



    Well, at least for modern, it seems like Wade Boggs 1983 Topps rookie which is listed at $20. I don't think it has gone up much more than that.

    A Pete Rose rookie is listed at $525.
