Not vintage, but in 1998 during the home run chase mania, I traded ten 1985 Topps Mark McGwire rookie cards to a dealer for the following cards.

1954 Topps Ted Williams (vg), 54 Topps Phil Rizzuto, 54 Topps Jackie Robinson, '57 Topps Roy Campenella, 59 Topps Sandy Koufax, and a 59 Topps Stan Musial.

The Campenella, Koufax, and Musial are Nr mint. The 54 Robinson had a pen mark on the back and I ended up selling that with the Rizzuto a couple of years later. Then in 2009, I won a PSA 6 54 Topps Jackie Robinson on EBay for cheaper than I sold the raw cards several years earlier.

From a hobby standpoint, at least I can say that I benefited from the steroid era?
