	One clarification, the Colorado Rockies Holograms are SILVER, not
	the GOLD ones from the 91 Upper Deck series. Also, can someone
	send me info about the going prices of Rockies and Marlins holos
	elseware? The going prices in Colorado are between $8-$12 for the 
	Rockies and $4.50-$6.00 for the Marlins. I would like to know if
	we are getting gouged by the dealers here. Even at those prices
	they sell like crazy here....

				Anyone have some info??

					Thanks 
					    Steve.

Date: 20 Nov 92 00:32:45 GMT
Organization: California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo


Haven't seen it mentioned here, so I thought I'd note that there is a
promo card available for the Doomsday: Death of Superman card set coming
from Skybox.  It may or may not be the same card to be included with
the special edition of the comic due this week.  Here is what the card
looks like:  Front contains the drawing of Superman's tombstone ("here
lies Earth's Greatest Hero") and the word "Doomsday!".  The back is
promo copy for the set.  The card is numbered "0", which raises an
interesting question about whether it will be considered to be an
essential part of the set for collectors.  The promo card is also marked
"Prototype" at the bottom.

I got mine from someone who received a bunch from Skybox marketing.  Sorry,
but I don't have extras, nor do I know of sources for these.  Maybe
dealers or comic stores are receiving them?  It will be interesting to
see if this card is different from the one included with the comic.

I have a pair of Zetra 303's.  I (To put it bluntly) Beat the crap out of them.
I havn't done much stair bashing, but I have done alot of stair jumping on them,Clearing 7-8 stairs.  I also skate half-pipes and jump ramps with them, and 
even some jumps onto Cape Cod beaches.  So far I havn't had any problems with
them.  One other thing, I did soup them up some.  I have conversion kits so 
that the blading edge axel systems fit, and I have axel systems for both sets
of wheels that I have.

Looks like it boils down to reputation as much as anything else, a common 
factor in judging.  Tonya hit the triple axel the one time it counted (that 
first time, that is), and so she set herself up for that lofty expectation.  
Technically speaking, the technical merit mark is supposed to reflect what 
the skater actually does (hence all those disclaiming comments that turning 
a planned triple into a double is "ok"), but not completing an attempted 
triple is certainly going to be deducted.  If a skater is known for completing 
a particular jump and fails, he/she is likely to be hurt - unless the 
reputation is so stellar that it can transcend such marks (witness Peggy 
Fleming landing her first jump into the boards at the Worlds in '68 after 
winning the Olympic gold).

More later, I suppose...

I have a pair of the old style 'blades with metal wheel frames, and I've never had a problem with bending... I am an avid trick skier, so I love to thrash on my 'blades as well. I ride stairs, jump levels in the parking garage, and even ride the raised perimeter around a fountain here at UNM, and I've never had a single problem with rail bending or bearing damage (still got original bearings) even though I do my best to break something!! I'd stack my blades up against anything else on the market today (eve








n though I've seen a pair of Roces that look pretty tough).

I'm the original poster so here goes:

THE SOLUTION:
	DON'T USE THE BRAKE BOLTS FOR NON-BRAKE AXLES.  

I had a blowout and lost one of the bolts.  I used one for the brake (as I 
don't use one) temporarily until I could buy a single bolt.  Well, since they
are a bit longer, when you screw it it tight, it wedges in at the bottom.  I
had to take my blades in to have the shop fix it.  So for all you out there,
learn from me.

And thanks to those who responded.

   Rollerblade has announced the MetroBlade, which is a walking shoe and
   external in-line shell sold as a pair. There have been pictures in
   several US magazines. I haven't seen it in stores, but I haven't been
   looking either. One magazine stated that sizes 7-10 are available now;
   other sizes will be available in the spring.

   The MSRP is $225.

I saw these in Ski Market on Comm Ave in Boston two weeks ago, when I 
bought my Coolblades.  I didn't try a pair, nor do I know what sizes
were available.  These were selling for $279, I believe, not $225.

Re Tonya Harding's problems.  It's hard to say exactly what her
difficulty is -- she seemed to be happy with the way she was skating,
but at the same time it seemed like she wasn't really trying very
hard.  I think she's right in saying that she can win without a triple
axel, but not if she leaves out all her other triple jumps as well.
She may indeed just be out of shape, although I didn't think it looked
like she'd put on *that* much weight (for example, compared to how
chunky Elaine Zayak was during her last year or two in competition).

Anyway, it's early in the season yet, and I wouldn't write her off
completely.

Figure Skating Show Pays Tribute to McCall

Toronto (CP) From Ottawa Citizen, Monday Nov 23, 1992

A star-studded figure skating show raised more than $500,000
towards AIDS research Saturday and realized a dream of the late
skating champion Rob McCall.

"We know Rob is here in spirit because Rob would never miss a
party like this one," Tracey Wilson, McCall's former ice dance
partner, told the sold-out crowd at Toronto's Varsity arena.

McCall, an Olympic medallist and seven-time Canadian champion with
partner Wilson, died of AIDS a year ago at 33.

During his illness, McCall dreamed that a cure would be found,
and started planning a spectacular ice show to raise money.

The two-hour Skate the Dream extravaganza showcased champions
including Brian Orser, Kurt Browning, Katarina Witt, and Brian
Boitano.

British skater Robin Cousins got the easy-to-please crowd going
early with some hip thrusting and provocative posing in his bluesy
routine.

American Scotty Hamilton danced his way to a country tune right 
on to the lap of a blushing but appreciative spectator, and crowd
teaser Browning brought the house down with a funky number.

======================================================

Any typos are mine.  CTV is planning to show part (or all?) of the
show on December 19, I believe.  Watch your listings (in Canada).
