I hesitated about posting this question, but I'm genuinely interested and
the group does seem to be for discussing collecting as well as making
deals.  So here goes...

How many of you die-hard sports card collectors are also sports fans?  Do
you watch games on TV, attend games, or follow a favorite team?  Do you
care about the most popular players only because their cards are (I assume)
more valuable?

Does a season start for you when the first pitch is thrown or when that
year's cards are issued?

I would assume that most collectors get started because they're interested
in sports, but judging from many of the collectors I've met and talked to
that aspect becomes less and less important as time goes on.  Some of you
collect four or five different sports; are you really interested in them
all?

I think of myself as a collector, but judging from the talk on this group
I'm a rather atypical one.  I only care about getting all the Lou Brock cards
ever made, because he was my hero when I was a kid.  Collecting his cards
is a way of reliving my childhood.

I guess what this boils down to is, why do you collect sports cards as opposed
to anything else?
Just curious,

Speaking as one who collected souvenir covers for years, I always found these
the most desirable because they are both colorful and (usually) informative.
I only collected them without the address and only sent in a separate
envelope to keep the souvenir envelope from getting soiled.
These were never and probably never will be worth a great deal of money.
That was never my motive for collecting them.  The only ones that will
probably ever be worth much are ones addressed to famous people.  So if
you can make an arrangement whereby you address envelopes to famous people,
send them to the post office where the first day issue of a stamp is 
issued with instructions to put that stamp on the envelope and postmark
it on the day of issue and then get that person to send them to you, you
have a valuable envelope.  You get extra points and dollars if they are
associated with the stamp in some way.  Now take the Elvis stamp for
instance....   :-)

Since this type of sale has worked so well in the past, I am getting rid of
more cards at very low prices. The following cards are either 10 cents, 
15 cents, 25 cents or 50 cents each. 
First come, First served until supplies last. The buyer pays shipping. The 
shipping goes like this:
1  - 10 cards  .50 cents
11 - 45 cards 1.00
46 - 75 cards 1.50
76 - ?? cards  ??
I will hold the cards that you want for one week. After that, if I do not
receive your money, I'll put the cards back up for sale. This way everyone
that really wants the cards at these cheap prices will have the chance.

>>regard for? What is it (and why)?

I started a collection of French type coins about two years ago. From 
the first I was intrigued by the 1944 2 Franc coin (Y89) that was minted
in Philadelphia for use in Free France (as opposed to the Nazi puppet
Vichy French State.) I now have all but 4 of the 20th century types
(I don't collect commemoratives), but unfortunately this interesting
coin is one of the 4 I don't have. Its catalog value is not very high
-- about $10 in Unc, and less in lower grades. I saw it for sale by
mail once, but it had already sold by the time they got my order. I
suppose, since this to me is the most interesting coin in the
collection, it would be fitting if it is the last one I get. :->

Oh, and why? The political and historical aspects of it, I guess.

Here's one I do have: the British West Africa 1936 1 Penny coin is one
of only 4 or 5 types to be issued during the reign of Edward VIII, with
his name on it. No coins were issued with his portrait, nor were any
issued in England itself, although some patterns were made. This
prompted me to start a collection of one coin from each British
Monarch. Since I only recently started this collection, I have not
gotten very far with it, and am complete only back to George III
(1760-1820).

(For those unfamiliar with the history these coins refer to: the Nazis
overran France during World War II and ruled it through a puppet
government called Vichy France. They issued 7 different types of coins
in zinc and aluminum. The Vichy coins say _Etat Francais_ instead of
_Republique Francais_ and the higher denominations say _Travail,
Famille, Patrie_, instead of the more familiar _Liberte, Egalite,
Fraternite_.  Edward VIII became King of England in 1936, but abdicated
several months later in order to marry a divorced woman.)


Happy Collecting,

PS: Just in case someone out there is dying to sell some French
coins, the other three I need are: Y76b, Y83, and Y86a. Thanks!

Glenn A. Mclain's news is succint and accurate, here is some more news too:

Ghostbusters, Hook, Fox's Peter Pan, Pirates of Dark Water, Pirates of
the Evil Seas, Pirates of the High Seas, Action Pirate, Bucky O'Hare,
Robin Hood, He-Man and Toxic Crusaders are dead in the water (gone,
fini, later, see 'ya, etc. etc. etc.)  They exist no more.  Actually,
you can still find them cheap, but don't expect new ones!

New Stuff:  Look for Zen Intergalactic Ninja (JusToys), Bill and Ted's
Excellent Adventure (Kenner - come on now!), more X-Force and Marvel
Super Heroes like Cable, Stryfe, Forearm, Deadpool, Kane and Sabretooth.
 Also, look for action figures for Aladdin, Land of the Lost,
Terminator, Aliens (see my previous post about these figures), more TMNT
figures (as if there weren't enough), and ST:TNG.  Don't Forget G.I.Joe
and Transformers!!!

Oh hell, I'll list the Aliens figures again:

(1) Lt. Ripley
(2) Bishop
(3) Sgt. Apone
(4) Hicks
(5) Drake
(6) Scorpion Alien (exploding)
(7) Gorilla Alien
(8) Bull Alien
(9) Queen Alien

Question:  Who the hell wants to buy figures of characters that are
already dead?  I mean it would be different if the figures came out and
then, in subsequent movies, the characters were killed off.  To do what
Aliens is doing is a bit cheesy though, wouldn't you say?

Just to let everyone know.  I was at a show last night in NJ and I saw
a dealer with NUMEROUS Jerry West hero sets for $25.00.

I already have the header card, so I asked the dealer to give me a
price without the header.  He said he would not sell it that way because
he had "alot" of headers he needed to get rid of.  

Think of that next time a dealer asks $15 - $20 bucks for the header.

Also, What's the story with the high price on the chase cards for eh
UD 92/93 hockey.  Too high I say.  They can keep the Euro-stars, etc.
cards for those prices.

Does anyone know if UD will be producing a factory set the basketball and
