Interesting to see this and compare it to today. Prices thru the roof, and '50's and most '60's packs dried up.

Hmm, works if you cut and paste but not as a link.

I miss the old group rip days, when '79 Topps Hockey was plentiful and ran about $65/pack.

I'm bringing reinforcements this year, even though I obviously don't need them.

That 1953 archives box is still on their site at the same price.

I wonder how much the elimination of GAI inventory has affected the perception of rarity? So much of their inventory was GAI, which is obviously now not allowed to be sold on their website.

Some stuff has gone way up like the late 70's packs while the 60's stuff is not that much different.

Post-1984 hasn't changed much. If anything, gone down a lot. $100 for a 1987 Fleer wax box?

I just grabbed some 1985 Topps rack packs for $2 cheaper. Appreciation my arse.

what wasn't sold was crossed over.

Football prices however seem to have taken a sharp increase.

That's cool, thanks for posting it. I wasn't back into the hobby until about 2009. Didn't even know about bbce back in 06.
Love to have a few 86-87 fleer basketball packs at $250 each!

That's what got my biggest reaction. I had no idea 87 fleer baseball ever cost that much. 85 donruss was at $95 too. Pardon my memory, but when did the public decide they cared about clemens and bonds taking steroids. Did that play a part?

OAKESY25 · November 28, 2014 12:00AM

The 87 fleer spike was due to Bonds, that was what semi got me back into collecting thinking I have to pick up a few bonds 87 fleers before the are $500 per card.. lol

Thanx Anthony.

It's amazing how the 78/79T stuff escalated after being stagnant for many, many years.
