Baseball card collecting shifts from a kid pastime to a serious investment. Adults like Larry Simmons and Robert Knight describe stacks of cards valued from tens to thousands of dollars, with prized 1955 Tops and 1967 Tops rookies, while dealers such as Larry Armstrong note rising sales of pricing catalogs and albums.
