easy. late 1985, my Dad took me to a card show. One dealer I remember well, had some 54, 55, and 56 Topps. The Ernie Banks rookie was, wow, had to have been Nr Mint. And the 55 Clemente was in awesome shape. He was willing to sell the PAIR for $150. Now remember, this is Oct 1985. Against my Dad's wishes, I went instead with a lot of smaller rookies. Winfield, Yount, Brett, couple of 84 Donruss Mattingly's. Seems like I got a 80 T Henderson also. Seems like the Brett was the highest $$$ of those I got, and even it was only $20 or so. But boy, do I regret not taking my dad's advice. Especially since it was his money lol
