Here's an envelope in which I received cards from the CCC. I don't recall how the cards were protected -- if at all...

Thank you Mike B. Very, very interesting!

I am glad you shared that because the one I shared is one year later and still showing the Wagner as $250. Maybe the Wagner was going up in value throughout the 60s just no one was updating their info, unless it truly stayed at $250 from 61-64.

I also have CCC catalog issue #19 from 1968 and it still shows a $250 value on the Wagner. Either the value stayed the same or the CCC didn't change the value in their catalog. I'd be curious to see if there are any other price guides with differing values from that time period.

Nice that is a time period I was curious about the most, the late 60s. Now you got me really wondering if that was the real price in 68, I wish there was another source to verify what CCC said in 68.

And here is the first page of Issue #20 from 1968:

Now that is awesome because I have also been trying to follow the history of the value of 52 Topps High number. In the 64 issue they wanted $1 each, looks like that did not change in 4 years. I am thinking there was a complete lag in values in the 60s for higher end cards. Prices must have exploded right around 1972-73. In 1973 the 52 Topps High number was $5-$10 a piece, according to a old news article I read from 73. Thanks for sharing that.

My pleasure, Zach! I've got a few more flyers from the CCC that I'm going to try to scan and share soon. I'll put them in this thread...tbc
