Now it's the hottest baseball card among collectors. The 1963 rookie card of the Philadelphia Phillies' Pete Rose sells for $100 to $120. It is in such demand that it was the subject of a counterfeiting scheme that resulted in two arrests earlier this summer. In fact, the investment poten tial of baseball cards is one reason many people are enter ing the hobby. "What you buy now — and I'd write this in blood — will triple or quadruple in the next 10 years," said Mark Lewis, pub lisher of Card Prices Update, the monthly bible of current card prices. "It's a tremendous in vestment. I hate to use that word, but other people do. "Some people buy our paper like the Wall Street Journal to see how much they made this month. It gets the younger generation interested and gives them a business sense." The recession hasn't helped people who hold the hobby's high-priced cards. The renowned 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle was auctioned for a high bid of $3,100 in 1979. It is only valued at $500 now. Collectors and dealers agree that the older, higher-priced cards are not moving at all. The decision of the Fleer Corp. of Philadelphia and the Donruss Co. of Memphis, Tenn., to join Topps, ofDuryea, Pa., as the hobby's major card producers caused a saturation of the market, making most recent cards available for just a few pennies. A 1982 set of 792 Topps cards can be obtained for $15, less than two cents per card, while some dealers are letting a 660card Fleer set from this year sell for $10. But collectors and dealers con tacted by UPI say the hobby gen erally is holding its own against the recession. "People still set aside so many dollars out of their paycheck for recreation and obviously base ball crd collecting is included," said Larry Fritsch, a Stevens Point, Wis., collector and oper ator of one of the largest card dealerships in the nation. "The business is as good or better than it was last year. With all the new (card) sets out, there is a multitude of stuff available. Last year, my sales were up 143 percent and my sales this year are aoout the same as last year." "It's not as easy to put money toward a hobby as it once was," said Vivian Barning, publisher of Baseball Hobby News, one of three publications dealing with baseball card and sports memor abilia collecting. land, Joseph Gotten.
