Default Price Comparisons 1980-1996-2006

Posted By: Dan Kravitz

I seem to remember Lew Lipset having prices in one of his 3 booklets he put out. If anyone has a copy please share it with the group. Mine is boxed up because we moved. Anyway, Lew was a dealer and a hobbiest for many years. He put together some prices for card values in the early '80s. When I first saw the prices I laughed. Jackson's for under $100.00. Hu? There must not have been many guys collecting, or no one had any money back then, or cards were just plain cheap. That might be a better indicator of what cards were selling for, since we don't have much data on sales back then. It will be easy to see how the hobby and prices have grown. I wonder what the increase in percentage is? Not to hijack a thread, but how about where we think prices will be 20 years from now. Any guesses?
