Speaking of Beckett, I had this sitting here, so I scanned a few pages. What I remember about Beckett, just a few years before their monthly price guide magazine, was their annual guide. I would find a vg/e Connie Hawkins in a dollar box, go home, look it up, and see 28 cents. Fun times.
Also, look at Kareem.. $2 in MINT and $1.40 in VG/E

Odd that Brian Sipe would be the featured card on the cover?

Sipe won the AP MVP in 1980. This guide was copyright 1981. I was an Oilers fan and they played the Browns 2 times a year. He was good. I may comp him in the football section HOF threads.

So, it could just be that Mr. Dodge played home team favorite and snuck a Sipe card on the cover. Regards Rich

You mean $1 T206 commons when everyone was hot for Pete Rose and Johnny Bench? Opening 5 and 10 cent packs looking for your favorite team. Then again in the 80’s $10-20 T206 HOFer’s (Cobb was always more) while everyone was clamoring for 86 Donruss Jose Canceco? When most didn’t realize back scarcity ( I didn’t) and just collected T206’s. How about scores and scores of unsold 1986 Fleer Basketball at $15 a box and Namath rookies for under $100.
1990 ish bumper stickers I’ll trade you my house for 1952 Topps set. (Valued at $40k) then. Many phases of olden days in my collecting years starting in 1966 when at 10 years old I opened my first pack of wax. Monster Laffs.

the good ole days...
I remember in 1975 a friend of mine was in Sacramento and when he came home he had these miniature 1975 Topps cards. Apparently Sacramento was one of the test markets for that issue. I thought the cards were interesting but I liked the regular sized cards, but I had to have some because they were novel in the area I lived. Subscribing to a couple of the hobby periodicals was a must if you wanted to see what was going on in the hobby. I had subscriptions to SCD and The Trader Speaks and read the Baseball Digest like it was required school reading material. People look back and think a buck for T206 cards, but when you're a kid, allowances really weren't going to cover trying to get a lot of T206s, even at a buck a piece. Still, when you look at a T206 at a buck, it wasn't too crazy. I can remember an issue of The Trader Speaks that showed the Wags as a possible $1,000 or $10,000 card. Trading, buying, selling was done through the mail as was a lot of hobby correspondence. All good times!

I started my Sports Collectors Digest subscription in early 1980
Receiving the SCD in the mail every two weeks was a thrill I still remember Pretty sure I memorized each issue before the next one arrived

I started buying packs in the early 60s when my Mother would let me have some change at the grocery store. Once I got an allowance, it all went to cards. When I learned about Card Collectors Co and others, it was game on. Years later I have been able to complete all my childhood sets and then some.
