I took a quick look at the stock market during the same time frame. From mid-1982 to mid-2011, the Dow and NASDAQ went up 15-fold and 16-fold. Not much different than those 1949 Leafs which went up 20-fold.
That being said, the 1949 Leafs were still better and even if they were the same, I bet owning the cards were more fun.
