I too recall passing up many cards in the mid-80's because they were too "expensive" and "over-priced". I had to be in the right mood to drop $5 or $10 dollars on one old card. Luckily I did decide to buy a few of them. Of course in the mid-80's if I had $20 in my pocket at a show I was lucky.

The bigger shock for me has been the last three years. I purchased T206 portraits of Young ($167) and Johnson ($178)during the summer of 2003. Both now reside in SGC 40 holders. At the time I did not consider those lucky buys, maybe a bit on the low side but within the correct range.
