[QUOTE=Jerry G;1989921]The price of gold averaged $38.70 per ounce in 1952. $10,000 would get you 258 ounces. The price of gold this morning is $1730. So, the value of the gold today would be $446,340.[/QUOTE

...and there you have it! Not a bad return--all things considered.

But, hey...how 'bout a pack fresh Superchief portrait?

My folks bribed me into peaceful church departure today with a promise of a stop in town and a pack afterward. My best pack, ever! Of course, I put it directly in my pocket. I'm bringing it to show and tell tomorrow before I glue it on the cover of my Willie Mays scrapbook! It's going to be super keen.

Coincidence that three of these players would be the precursors to another generation of major league ballplayers?

Willie Mays is the godfather of Barry Bonds; Roy Smalley's son, Roy Smalley Jr, would go on to have a nice MLB career; and of course Frank Thomas would blaze the trail for another, though larger, Frank Thomas.
