Wish I had purchased this at the original asking price on the back
Just fun to see what some cards were valued at at some point and time....

When the hell were they that price, in 1909 ?

Back damage... I'll give you a penny.

As we will see in the not too distant future, our collecting forefathers valued our cards at 1-2 cents ea. for many years in the early hobby.
|
At the rate of inflation, $40.00 today was worth two cents in 1909. :eek:

Imagine at those prices, then someone telling you a Wagner would cost you a whole dollar. "Whaaaaa?!?"

I remember going to shows in the 80's when some sellers still were writing their prices on the back! I always just shook my head and walked on.

I have seen modern cards priced with stickers directly on the card at my local antique stores. However, sticker or not, a 1990 Fleer David Justice will not likely sell for $2.50.

How many of us have been around non-collectors that were about to rubber band valuable cards before we said they might not want to do that? My heart has almost stopped a little when I saw people doing it before. These were 25 and 15 something (cents or dollars), respectively. My guess would be cents but it could have been dollars. BTW, whomever eventually owns these will still have the prices on them though ..
