'72 Schmidt Puerto Rican League stickers should fare well in the future as well..........

Phil,

I've always been fascinated by that sticker; what's the story on it?

Paleo,

Great snapshot of those prices over the years. That's one heck of a trend.

Andy, That's great information on the Brett and Schmidt in 8. How many cards do you track like this? I would love to know more.

I'm not at all familiar with the Puerto Rican league sticker, would love to know more.

Matt:

Well, it's a Pre-Rookie as it was issued prior to his Topps RC and, obviously, much more scarce. Centering is usually the big issue as far as condition.
