Thats a neat little letter. I love how he called $25 "steep". Minimum wage was $1.60 in 1973. Today, that's the equivalent of $10.50. $25 Back then (1973) would be comparable today to $164 (2022).
Thats so crazy. Goes to show that buying a 52 Mantle is always a good decision. Even with cards going down (but many still above from what they were just two years ago), the Mantle still continues to climb. Unfortunately, it's one of those cards that if you are saving up for, by the time most acquire the funds, the card rose in value again making it almost unattainable.
