I also just came across a 1982 autograph price list from a nation-wide dealer. His 3X5 cards were 16 cents each and they included players like Roger Maris, but the best was that he had (10) Willie Foster autographs (only died a few years before the ad) and many Hilton Smith and Turky Stearns autographs. Prices? $1 each for the Fosters and 35 cents each for the Hilton Smiths and Turkey Stearns. I dont think investing in Microsoft stock at the IPO would have garnered a better return on your dollar then these. A Willie Foster 3X5 is an easy $2000-$3000 item now. Could have had a $50,000+ return on a $20 investment.
