Re: Tampa Bay Bucs Collectors -- Prepare for Heart Attack
Pre-inflation? The inflation rate in January of 1981, based on the Consumer Price Index, was 11.83%, one of the highest inflationary rates in our nation's history.
But I do agree that $200 was quite a bit for a jersey 30 years ago. I'll gladly take the Spurrier for $60.

$200 bucks in 1981 is roughly equivalent to $486.93 today. Oh and those jerseys are awesome!!

Love looking at the old ads in SCD and other sports magazines. The prices just make me drool.

Re: Tampa Bay Bucs Collectors -- Prepare for Heart Attack
Let me chime in on Hartels.
Both were always answering the phone, knew their stuff and indeed were fair.
Always had great Cardinal jersies.
And while we are remembering, Dick Dobbins of SF Giants Memorabilia, was a great teacher of the hobby and always had fair deals and always had time to talk on the phone- long distance from East coast!
