That smiling picture of Gelman was what started my interest in baseball card collecting. I still have the article that goes with that picture from the magazine. I cut it up and made my own scrapbook so I don’t recall the magazine. 8 year olds don’t think about those things. Yes I also put cards in my bike to make it sound cool!
The article lists the price for a Sports Kings Ruth @$ 20- 30, and a Wagner for an astronomical price of $4000. I would have been smiling too if I had a 52 Mantle and Robinson sitting in front of me. Stuff like this is why I like being a member of Net 54 hearing the stories and learning about the hobby history from those who lived it.
