I've often wondered what would have been the best thing I could have spent my money on at my first card show in April of 1986. I bought a Will Clark card, a 1972 Ty Cobb card, and a pack of 1986 Donruss (all commons as it turned out). I must have had about a $5 budget. I figure if I could have found them, I would have done best to have picked up 5 of the 1984-85 Star #101 Michael Jordans, and then my $5 would be worth six figures today.
thats a funny thought! I attempted to trade my whole collection at the time in the late 70's for a 76' babe ruth. she said NO!!!!
some of my earliest memories at shows prob late 70's-early 80's i picked up a fake mayo cross for $2...and a beaten t206 matty for $2. This was basically my budget!
