T206 1982 Article
While doing some spring cleaning yesterday. I came across an article that I saved from Dec 1982 BHCR. I think this is the issue that featured the T206 reprints (long since gone). I was in 10th grade when this came out and my interest was in Brett, Yount, Jackson, Rose, Ryan, Dawson etc. My local Baseball Card Shop in NJ had a binder full of T206's and a dozen or so in the display case. I would just walk by and think "that's old why would anyone want them" while on my way to get the latest and greatest Topps packs. If we could only turn back time! I'm not sure how accurate the price list was back then but at $4250 for the set it seems like the steal of the century. Enjoy the scans.

Thanks for posting. The appreciation for T206 subject scarcity in the early 1980s is remarkable. Also, it is interesting that non-HOFers have not quite kept up with HOFers in terms of price increases.

Cool! Baseball Hobby Card Report was Renata Galasso's publication, back when she was the leading card dealer in the world (along with her husband Bill Hongach). I have issues 2 through 5 of BHCR, with issues 2, 3, and 4 also including centerfolds of T206 reprints. I thought I also had issue #1, from which this article is taken, but if so I can't find it. Issue 5 has an interview with Renata Galasso that's illustrated with many pictures of her holding up rare cards.
