Check this out....I came across this 1985 adv of Wayne Miller's the other day and I had to post it. Wayne's T206 prices
were very fair and you couldn't meet a nicer guy in the hobby than Wayne. These prices were quite typical of T206's in
the early '80s. My table was opposite Wayne's table at the Willow Grove Show and I put together my 1st T206 set (521
cards) for less than 5K. The Magie (Vg) cost me only $600 back then. And, the only "10" we knew was Bo Derek......we
usually had a mutual agreement on the "grade" of a given card, and that was it, it wasn't a "numbers" game.

Twenty years later you can't even get close to a Magie in Vg for what I paid for my entire 521 card T206 set back then.
Anyhow, it's interesting to compare where we are now....with where we once were....not that long ago.
