Can you imagine being shill bid from 2 cents to 3 cents? And if I am not mistaking Burdick pegged some cards at 1/2 cent each.

Imagine at those prices, then someone telling you a Wagner would cost you a whole dollar. "Whaaaaa?!?"

I remember going to shows in the 80's when some sellers still were writing their prices on the back! I always just shook my head and walked on.

This is still an acceptable practice in postcard dealing/collecting.

Also in trade cards. I have many trade cards with a price and/or an inventory number written in pencil on the back.

Couple of months ago I was at an antique store that had a small stack of 1966 Topps BB in about fair condition marked $1 on the back of every card.

Sigh

I have seen modern cards priced with stickers directly on the card at my local antique stores. However, sticker or not, a 1990 Fleer David Justice will not likely sell for $2.50.
