Hi there,
I hope this is the right place to post this.
 
I currently have a near complete collection of 120 cards and was wondering
would anyone onthe net would like to trade their extra cards for some of mine.
It doesn't necessarily need to be 1 to 1 trade.  I'm also willing to buy the
holograms and bonus language cards if it comes to that.

114, any of the holograms and language bonus cards
 
 
The following is a list of my EXTRA cards :
1(2), 2(3), 4, 5, 7, 8(4), 10(2), 12(2), 13(2), 16(2), 17(4), 18, 19(2)
21, 22(5), 23(5), 24, 26(3), 29(4), 30, 32, 34(3), 35(2), 36(2), 37
39(2), 40, 41(2), 42, 43(3), 46(2), 47(3), 48(4), 49(2), 53, 54(5), 55
56, 61(4), 62(3), 63(4), 64(6), 65(3), 66(2), 68, 70(4), 71, 73(3)
74(5), 75(2), 79(4), 80(2), 83(3), 84(5), 85, 88, 91(2), 93, 95, 96(2)
97, 98(2), 100(2), 101(2), 103(5), 104(3), 105, 108, 109(5), 110
112(3), 113(2), 117(2), 119(4), 120
 
The number in parenthesis are the number of cards I have or want.
 
My email address is pgong@prism.poly.edu
 
 
Thanks ahead for your time ...

Apologies if this is the wrong group...

A colleague of mine has collections of Natlamp (including the first one),
and a passle of Beatles' memorabilia which she's interested in peddling,
preferably in the Toronto area.

Questions:
a. Who are Toronto area shops/people who might be interested? 
   ( I know about Silver Snail and Dragon Lady, being a downtowner).
b. Where can I find a book giving prices on these things?
   I saw references to "Overstreet" (?) which sounds like the right 
   thing, but no comment on where to find a copy. Metro Toronto Library 
   perhaps? 
Thanks for any pointers.

POSTING THIS FOR A FRIEND....

I have two (2) of the Bronze STAR TREK coin Medallions for sale that were 
put out circa 1973 by Hallmark Minting Service (the original licensee).  
They are NM in their original boxes; however, I added a 18ct GOLD neck 
chain to them years ago (they didn't come with).  I've been told that 
these are in *very* short supply; and go for between $300 and $500 *without* 
the Gold chain.  Anyone interested in one or both, please email me with 
an offer I can't refuse.  8*)  Seriously, I will consider any 
reasonable offer I get.


Also, I have about seven (7) of the Impel 25th Anniversary STAR TREK 
150-Card Sets (TOS + TNG) for sale at $8.00 each *plus* shipping. 
These do *not* include the holograms, Sorry. 

Shipping:  The cost via UPS is $3.50, regardless of quantity.
           Outside the Continental US, please inquire. 

Trades:  Ordinairily, I'd consider most any trade offer; however, I'm
         in urgent *need* of cash to pay bills.

Please email before actually sending an order; to make sure I have any
left.  

Thanx, Dave.

Recently got in the Up'N Coming magazines that contain
the Wolverine Promo and am interested in trading or selling
some of them (just the card, it costs to much to ship
the magazine).

I'm willing to trade some of them for other masterpiece
promos (except for the Hulk).  

Would like to sell them for $2.25 each including postage.

I'm not really making much off of these.  The magazine
lists for 1.95 cover.  I got it for about 1.50.  I figure
shipping will cost about 50 cents.  So I'll make a
whole quarter.
