It's always amazing to see the set prices in those old price sheets. The 1952 Topps set for $90, if I'm reading that correctly. When I saw these kind of offers I was always too interested in the current Topps issue or the latest Kellogg's set to spend my money on that "old" stuff.

It is funny, how we get caught up in the new material and the old stuff was just that, the old stuff. With the amount of 91 Fleer cards owned, I could shingle a small house.
