I recently traded for an '85 McGwire and put it in the front page of my $5 rookie album.
The responses from both current and former collectors is hilarious.
One was sure it was a reprint as there's "no way a $200 card can be worth that little"
Another one saw it and said "I feel sick, I paid $50 for mine" while another customer asked me "is this what the hobby has come to?"
And I guess I can't blame them. I mean how many iconic rookie cards have fallen from hundreds of dollars to the cost of 20 McNuggets?
And so goes the deadly combination of mass production and steroids.
