...There are no fixed prices in the bubble-gum-card market. "It's like investing in stocks and bonds," says Collector Nagy, who is a mechanic by trade. He has turned down offers of $1,500 to $2,000 for his prize card, a 1910 Honus Wagner. One of Reuss's most treasured cards is the first Bob Feller, issued by the now extinct Leaf Gum Co. in 1948. It was worth $35 until several other originals turned up, dropping its price to only...
