Usually the USPS offers the other country's issue through the Philatelic Sales Division, PO Box 449997, Kansas City, MO  64144-9997.  Minimum order is $10 and
there is a 50c service fee.

I have a queerie concerning a GB Wilding that I have in my possesion -
perhaps someone out there can help me?

I have a tete-beche/3d purple/crowns watermark horizontal pair and I cannot
find any reference to this item in Gibbons specialized.  Obviously Scott's
does not list it.  Has anyone heard of this particular error (no doubt
created as the other tete-beche pairs are) from miscut or uncut booklets?

Any help would be appreciated.

Please respond to the following e-mail address...thanks! Henry

I know that the 90-91 Pro-Set hockey cards are far from one of the most popular
cards manufactured that year.  However I have around 3500 extras that I would
like to sell.  There are both commons and stars including Roenick, Fedorov,
Jagr, etc. There may even be a complete set or two in there (If not then it'll
only be a matter of 1 or 2 cards).

I also have some doubles from other 90-91 sets like Upper Deck and Topps, most
of the stars are gone from these sets, however.  

If you are interested email me and let me know what you might want.  I would
be willing to either sell them or trade for some of the sets I need.  I would
be willing to sell most of the doubles off fairly cheap.  I can provide
lists of what I have in each set - although some lists could get quite 
extensive, it may be easier to ask for the number of doubles I have in a set
or the quantities of certain stars, etc.

Any replies, offers, etc. welcome.

Thanx,
Pete

Hello,

Sorry to be wasting bandwidth like this but, Paw Eng, I tried sending
an email out to you but it keeps bouncing. :(

Anyway, to answer your question, this group is for all types of
collectors. Yes its true that there are more card posts but they
have been putting the word "CARDS" in the subject line so if your
newsfeed allows you to have kill files then you could create one and
it will automatically kill all the cards post for you. Since I
collect nonsports cards I just scan and see if they is a post
about that subject and if there is I read it. If not then I manually
kill all the card posts too. Plus, like someone mentioned last year, 
most people are probably on vacation so that is another reason why 
the stamp posts are so low.

I don't really have an answer to your question about "how can
someone verify if a certain stamp offered by a company is real  
or if they just made up the country and/or made up a fake stamps.
I would suggest that you post your entire question in this group 
(make sure you have "Stamps" somewhere in the subject line). I've 
only included part of your question and I know that there are people 
in this group who could probably answer your question.

Nancy

P.S. Could you email me and let me know that you've seen this

I kind of LIKE the variable rate coil for exactly the same reason.
Setting aside the issue of PNC's, the expense of an entire set of
these stamps is so great that no dealer can accumulate stocks of
all of them.  Thus, if I buy one for $4.57, for example, I may have
a rarity.

Now, I doubt that this is a good investment.  Will there be people
trying to accumulate full sets 20 years down the road?  However, I'd
suggest that my $4.57 will make my collection more interesting than
the same amount spent on a few $.29 plate blocks, etc.

Someone gave me this unusual card today and I was wondering if anyone knew
about it.  It is made by Wild Card and has a "Decision '92" logo in the
upper right corner.  The card is of H. Ross Perot and it is numbered P1 on
the back of the card.  The card then has a bio of Perot and has a 
copryright of 1992 on the bottom.  So, I am wondering...  Is this
a promo card for a set?  Is it part of a set?  The guy who gave it to me
got it from someone else so he doesn't know much about it either.   Any
help would be appreciated. 

Thanks,
Dana

I was wondering if the person that is looking for the Jackson subset card
from the UD subset series still needs it?  If so, please e-mail me.
Thanks,

Well, I'll buy a pack.  This sounds like the STUPIDEST card set ever, and 
ten years from now I want to be able to prove to my freinds that they existed.

I am trying to complete my 1991/1992 NBA Hoops set.  I only need two cards 
from Series I:   16 and 83.  I also need all cards from the Series II set.  
I have a ton of extra Series I cards to trade.  Does anyone have alot 
of extra Series II cards that they would like to trade for Series I cards?  
If you are interested, drop me a line at pwilson@admin.acadiau.ca  

I am also looking for two 1991/1992 Upper Deck Basketball cards: 2 and 379 
to complete that set.  I have alot of extra cards to trade so if you have 
either of these cards and are interested, let me know.

Thanks,

Peter
