Brian, (since you are the first to flame) please accept my apologies
on behalf of everyone. I did make a mistake on the Topps 80 Henderson 
and posted the price for the Topps 1981 Henderson.  The 80 card is
listed at $75-140.  In Excellent condition as noted by the original
poster let's put it in the $40-70 range. Still a bargain! 
 
You're absolutely right, of course.  A 1987 Donruss Canseco 
is a find at $70. How silly of me.  Especially in Mint condition.
   
I noted the Cal Ripken price, to be honest to this poster.
I apolgize for this.
  
On the Brett, yet another mistake by me.   Of course there
is no 1974 minor league card of Brett.  But I did forget the ";-)"
I really do need to polish up on my 'netiquette.'
 
Furthermore, in the overall scheme of things, my thinking must be
false as well.  The last time I took a card out for a stroll to
a dealer, she offered me about 50% of book and that in trade.
That was about 16 months ago and I haven't tried since.  I  
apologize for my lack of commn sense  - I'll expect to pay book plus, 
next time I see a card in rec.collecting, sight unseen.
 
So Brian, please accept all of my apologies in the spirit in
which they are sent.
