When I was a teenager in the mid-1970s, I bought a 1952 Topps Mantle for $75 and a Jackie Robinson for maybe $50. I quickly doubled my money and thought I a genius. My biggest regret, though, was busting open an entire box of 1957 Topps football cellos, also during the 70s. I recall I paid $15 for the box, and it had all three big rookies.
