Since I live in Quebec, I can buy assorted sports cards (eg. hockey &
baseball) that are French and/or English.  Is there a demand for these 
with you guys?

I have 'hand-picked' used sets of the 1982 State Birds and Flowers (50).  I
have not differentiated from the perf 11x11 and the perf 10.5x11 issue.  In
exchange I would like $12.00(Scott's or equivalent) of British Commonwealth
or Western Europe (50cents and up).  I have a number of complete sets and a
handful of odd ones.

Hi,

I'm sure lots of folks run into this problem, maybe I can get some help.  I
periodically buy a collection (France & Colonies, in my case) to go through
and add to my existing albums.  This gives me lots of work to do for a 
relatively small price.  Problem is, when I'm done pulling the stuff I need
out of the new collection, I'm left with a fair collection, maybe a good 
album, etc.  Sometimes, it would make a good collection in it's own right (as
a starter or something).  Anyway, what do you do with these things?  Sending
them to auction may work, but the stuff isn't exactly top quality auction
material.  Naturally, I'd expect to get a marginal percentage of catalog for
this.  I'm just looking for avenues to get rid of it (presumably other than
giving it away).  I'd appreciate any ideas.  

Thanks,
Dave

Sakura and JSDA (Japan Stamp Dealers Association) both publish multicoloured
catalogues of Japanes stamps (includes Ryuku, etc.). I would have thought that
a specialist dealer in the US would be able to get one or the other. There is
also a fairly hefty book published in Norwegian/English about forgeries of
classic (early) definitives. I guess that you wouldn't be interested in the
latter as it sounds as if you are after Philatelic Week, Letter Writing Week
and National Treasure series of Japanes stamps amongst others...

Hello out there everyone!

I am able to get about 5 Upper Deck Team MVP Holo sets for $28.50
each.  I'll take pre-orders for them over the next two days.  
If you'd like one (or two) at that cost plus shipping (plus a small
tip for me - you decide what that is...) COMPLETE factory sets
including case and certificate of authenticity... let me know by
Saturday morning 10-10-92.  FYI, shipping should be about $2.90,
if I remember my postal rate scales...

Thanks, I hope this will bring these excellent cards to markets
that they will never reach.  (I think 250,000 sets were printed,
and that is a high estimate.)

I hate people that reply to messages and don't answer them.  I really
hate them.. so I will do it anyway :)

I am also looking for Hallmark Onaments.  Specifically, I am looking
for the Winnie the Pooh ornaments from last year (91).  My daughter is
a *major* Pooh fan (at age 2) and would love to have them..  We have
the 92 Pooh ornament (Owl) but would like the others as well.  If anyone

  During fall break last week, I went home and found this years' edition of
Upper Deck sitting on the shelf. I bought a box, then went home, and went nuts.
I thought they were beutiful cards, they had 4 cards from Ottawa, and Tampa Bay
included. They also have some Wayne Gretzky collectors cards that continue,
last edition's set. I checked the price of the card, and it's already worth
$4.00. I was wondering if there was somebody who had some doubles of the first
9 cards of this set from last year? Thanx a lot.

There has been some talk about 'specialty' books....Maybe you stamp collectors
can help me out...   I've recently gained an interest in collecting oriental
art.  One interesting view of this art lies in the postage stamps of the 
Eastern countries, especially Japan.  Can anyone help me find out whether
a book of Japanese stamps is available here in the US?  Or, how about a 
specialty book on art depicted on stamps?

While on the subject...can anyone help me get a Japanese stamp collection started?   Like a 100 different packet of Japanese used stamps?  I don't have a local
stamp dealer, that I know of, so I'm not able to 'buy' Japanese stamps...unless
there is a stamp show nearby.....and I haven't heard of one being in the
area recently...or coming in the future.....

What about trading some stamps?  I have lots of sports cards available to anyone who can help me obtain some stamps....

Thanks for ANY help......
