Baseball cards
worth big bucks
by United Press International
You got it in 1963 for the nick
el price of a pack of bubble gum
— the bubble gum, too. 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. Returning
home after treatment for a mental
breakdown, a woman senses that
someone is buried alive on the
grounds of her estate.
