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.
