T206 1982 Article

[bnorth]

I always think how cheap cards were back then until I remember that in 1982 the $160 Cobb was a lot of $ back then. I done a quick search and seen several that recently sold in the $600-$800 range. Seems like pretty even $ then to now to me.

That period was, I believe, about the only time in my life that I could have afforded a T206 Wagner--instead, the money went into purchasing, prepping and street-racing big-block Corvettes! Oh well.

Great post,

I ran an inflation calculator on $120 bucks in 1982 and it comes out to $294.85. I will buy just about every T206 Ty COBB you are willing to sell at $300. Jk. That's a good sign that the hobby had had strong growth above inflation.
