Now that I see the pricelist, I remember that Hobby Card House outfit. I remember the 25 cents extra they charged if you listed the cards you wanted out of numerical order. 25 cents for a 1974 Topps Hank Aaron seems fair; I wish I had bought them back then in quantity (in mint condition these are worth $860 now, so that would be a 343,900% return on the investment).

There is currently a thread over on the Net54 postwar sportscards forum about Woody and Richard Gelman and the Card Collectors Co., who offered similar mail order price lists throughout the 1960's and 1970's.
