Current Card Prices Publication

Blame it on the (regional) publication started in 1984 (due to Don Mattingly popularity i believe) ..

it was called Current Card Prices and it had those MAGICAL UP ARROWS..

the magical UP ARROW was a powerful drug!

I couldnt wait for the next monthly edition to see what the Mattingly 84 Donruss was up to!

im sure these ARROWS spurred on many collectors especially during the Mattingly 84 /Canseco 86 Donruss era....

i think this price guide also spiked the attendance of Baseball card shows which we all know were HUGE in the 80's....
