Not pre-war but an interesting old list from my childhood

Posted By: <b>ramram</b><p>Ran across this over the weekend. It's a price list from 1975 when I was a kid trying to complete my 1975 Topps set. Too bad it doesn't show any prewar cards. <br /><br />This was the first time I ran across a source that had individual cards available. At the time I truly thought that it dulled my set because I picked up about a dozen cards without getting them by buying packs.<br /><br />Rob M.<br /><br /><img src="http://home.kc.rr.com/ramram/list.jpg"><br /><img src="http://home.kc.rr.com/ramram/list1.jpg">

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>That's neat as it is from when you were a kid collecting. I have many periodicals from the 1960-1970's (not from when I was collecting as a kid though) and all of those mimeograph pages look similar. Very cool. Do you have any other lists with older cards? Funny thing...many of the old periodicals really didn't have a lot of the really cool stuff we see today ie... Yum Yum, Kalamazoo, Lone Jack etc., which I believe is mainly due to the internet and the "relative" easy access to cards today. I guess old shows had a lot of the good cards but a lot of the periodicals sure didn't...Thanks for sharing....

Posted By: <b>Eric Brehm</b><p>Now that I see the pricelist, I remember that Hobby Card House outfit. I remember the 25 cents extra they charged if you listed the cards you wanted out of numerical order. 25 cents for a 1974 Topps Hank Aaron seems fair; I wish I had bought them back then in quantity (in mint condition these are worth $860 now, so that would be a 343,900% return on the investment).<br /><br />There is currently a thread over on the Net54 postwar sportscards forum about Woody and Richard Gelman and the Card Collectors Co., who offered similar mail order price lists throughout the 1960's and 1970's.
