Jason LI'm glad to hear you say that and it is what I was noticing as well...these cards are not prized and premiums are not assigned...-which makes them even more attractive to me these days!
I agree, not as good for investment, but I do truly like these cards, so the fact that they are more affordable makes them all the more sweet!
I think some of the attraction for me is that those cards singlehandedly deliver something that a single player's card (or even a league leader card)does not: It places the players in context of their time. The pairings and the title combine to show what the feeling was about them at the time...does that make sense?
I recall getting excited to see the combo cards in the 1984 and 1985 fleer sets while I was growing up...I could see a few of my fave players at once, recognized for their dominance - I just thought it was cool.
And to now be able to look back to 1963 or 64 and see pairings of legends that I never got to see play -that holds something special, I think.
