appreciation of baseball cards over the past 6 months, 5 years and 25 years is the Beckett Price Guide. Although this reference has limitations in short term analysis, do you think that a better resource exists for long term price history? |

I've accumulated a fair amount of price guides and catalogs dating back to the 1970's in the hope of one day putting it all together to do a retrospective analysis to support what we already know. |

Darren: Although we are aware of the general favorable trends, it is several specifics which spur my interest. Such as "Would it have been better to purchase high, medium or low grade cards years ago; and which would have been best: commons, HOFers, minor leaguers, rarities, others"? Etc. But the level of effort in this type of analyzable data compilation appears high. Maybe it is best to wait and see what the Card Pricer type programs bring. |

In 1981, as an 11 year old I vividly remember buying 50's and 60's Topps cards. I'd buy them in Ex to Ex-mt to save about 50% off the NM and Mint examples. In particular I remember settling for a 1964 Pete Rose for $15 in ex-mt instead of paying the $35 for the Mint example.....a card that would grade 8 or 9 today. |

In the 60s (no, it was the early 70s), as I recall it, there was no organization to the hobby at all. You would find sellers set up at antique auto club shows trying to sell packs of mixed '52 - '56 topps containing about 200 vg/ex cards for $5. And taking all day to sell a few packs of those. |

Maybe you could pull an earlier price series from one dealer's regular price lists. This is a little before my time. That list probably would not continue to today since many dealers from the 1970's may not be around. |
