Truly amazing how little knowledge, concern or consideration was given to the more esoteric, vintage, pre-war cards. From personal experience, I know this continued into the early '90's. Armloads of books were written about investing in cards from the '50's to the present, but insofar as pre-war was concerned, they might have mentioned T206's, '33 and '34 Goudeys, but not much else. One author in particular--who was familiar enough with the hobby that he should have known better--even stated that there were no baseball cards in the 1920's! As I recall, the Ruth M-101 rookie booked at $1800 in near mint as late as 1990. Then there came light!!!
