I well remember 1980 when Rob and Bob in Philadelphia made front page news by auctioning
off 3 - 1952 Topps Mantle's for an unprecedented $10,000.

And, as you said, by 1982 the same Mantle's had de-valuated to $500 each.

But, concurrently, the 1963 Topps Rose rookie cards were increasing exponentially. Correct
me if my recollection of $250 by 1982 for the Rose card is wrong ?

I remember buying a few at the St Louis National in the Summer of '82 for $100 and selling
them at Philly in September for $200.
