I was an obsessive collector in the late 70s and throughout the 80s. For me, the sign that it was time to get out was going to card show after card show dominated by promos and inserts, rookie cards of players with 0 AB or IP going for more money than Schmidt, Mays, Aaron, etc., and new packs retailing for $4. There also seemed to be something fishy about 99.9% of dealers selling their cards for the Beckett high value and 0% of dealers selling at the Beckett low. As far as I could tell, the increase in card prices was fueled less by real demand than it was by the format of the dominant price guide. |

I, for one, would love to hear some of the stories you have as I started my modest collection back in the mid 70s as well... |

I live in Berkeley, but can't get any further south than Freemont. Ever come to the Bay Area? |

I've always wondered: who was/is Renata Galasso; and what became of her? |
