In 1972, I was in college and was ballpark organist for the Pulaski Phillies (Appalachian League) for $5 a game.
A couple of years before, Wirt Gammon had offered me a T206 Wagner for $500. Where would I get $500? (Besides, he was selling me the other T206's for 35 cents each.) My friend Bill Haber, who had a real job (at Topps), bought that Wagner.
$500 in 1970 - $1500 in 1972? Mastro may have overpaid.
