When it was a hobby . . .
Posted By: Paul
My recollection of the fire is different. They put out a catalog in which fire damaged cards were half price. As a kid, I was so cheap that I decided to spend 10 cents each for my 1962 Topps Ford and Berra cards, instead of 20 cents. Same for my Seaver rookie. And I believe I paid $2 for my 65 Mantle, instead of the regular price of $4. Most of the cards were just warped irregularly from water damage, but some had smoke stains. For some reason, the smoke seemed to effect the back more than the front. I believe the Mantle was the worst.
