I'd say that wasn't happening back then, because most cards had such little value up until the '80s (and they weren't considered as much more than collectible novelties). But now that they've had a steady basis as substantial assets for the last 40 years, it's a totally different ballgame to consider them as investments.
Edit: like Greg said, 30 years ago is entirely different than 50 in this case. I was referring just to <1980
