About 1976, my father and I(12 years old), went to Tropical Flea Market in
Miami, Florida. I couldn't believe it when we came across a family with a bunch of prewar cards. My father bought me a T206 Lajoie, 1933 Goudey(dont remember who) and Playball Gehringer. Each one was ONE DOLLAR.
They also were selling a Goudey Ruth for $7. My father said no, too much money. I still have the Lajoie and Gehringer.
I would never own another prewar card until sometimes in the early 1990's. I mistakenly thought current cards was the way to go. Boy was I wrong.
Great thread.
