ASM#1 valued at $20? Those were the days...

[He11blazer]

I was browsing through ASM 106 just now and noticed the following kind of amusing letter (emphasis is mine, and not on the actual comic I might add!):

 

 

$20 for a nice ASM1?

 

ASM 106 was published 2 months before I was born, so I can't be blamed for missing the boat.

 

I'm also kind of amused that the letter writer is bemoaning having spent the equivalent of $33 on a newstand fresh 102

I thought everyone was admitting to how much they paid for their ASM 102.

Can't get a ASM 1 today for 65

[Mac Man]

[mysterymachine]

I bought the reprint for 35 cents.

[trmoore54]

I sold an entire set of ASM 1-50 for $65 in 1971 (sophomore in high school)...2nd biggest bonehead move I've ever made in the collecting dept...

 

#1 bonehead move: 2 shoeboxes of baseball cards with every freakin' Hall-o-Famer from about 1957/58 to 1972 (seriously 14-15 yr runs of Mays, Mantle, Banks, Robinson, Williams, Rose, Drysdale, Koufax...etc etc. everyone!) for............$25 bucks! doh! (that's a double-)
