250 USD today was equivalent to about 90 in 1987, to take an average Biopace date, based on inflation only. That is probably a bit more than it would have cost then, but is it really worth more now, taking into account storage and if you had invested the 100 USD in the sp 500 then? Today you would have over over 5k. And 87 was not a good year. So generally a bad investment
