It seems to me, everyone who I have run into will still pay $125 for it.
Don't know why though, considering they are inserts in Score packs this 
year.  SHouldn't be worth more than $30, IMHO.

I have a few full 100 card sets of the new marvel masterpiece cards.
They are really good looking cards. I bought a few boxes to get a set
for myself and ended up with extra sets. If interested, let me know. 

I don't know what to charge. MMP only gives you six cards per pack so a
box of cards is only 216 cards and its hard to get two sets out of 216
cards. I am just trying to get my money backout and get my set free.
They can be in protective sheets or the small plastic cases.

I'm very new to stamp collecting so please bear with me if
this has been covered before.

Two things have gotten me interested in stamps.  I recently
went to Russia and a friend asked me to collect some stamps
for him.  Well, I have to admit that it was quite fun and
interesting getting those stamps (and I got a lot for me
too).  Second, I was buying stamps for a postcard and was
totally amazed to find a Russian version of a stamp I had
just purchased in the US.  That stamp was one of the 4 stamps
showing US and Russian astronauts in space.  

Now, my question is:  I know I can get sheets of both the
US and Russian stamps but were there any first day covers
with both sets of stamps?  Any sort of commemorative items?


Thanks,
Julie

This Philatelic Window is not nearly as well stocked as it used to be..
The primary reason being that when they moved the Sales Division to
Kansas City, L'Enfant Plaza cut back on their stock of material..Now
their selection is not as good and sometimes they do not have new material.
However, the people are still very nice and try to help whenever possible..

Just out of curiosity... People discussing this collecting interest
always refer specifically to beer *cans*. Is there any interest and
an equivalent organized collecting  effort of old beer *bottles* too?
(That is, literature, printed price guides, etc.)

Or are the bottles too bulky, heavy, and fragile so that can
collectors pass them by?

I've been following the recent discussion relating to FDCs with interest
(don't touch 'em myself). I wondered what the general feeling is regarding
other manufactured or artificial items, to wit:

a) Miniature Sheets
b) Cancelled to order stamps

Any opinions?

Personally, I don't regard an item as acceptable unless it can be used through
the post, after which I regard it as collectable and then try to collect both
mint and used copies of the item.

Well, I bought my set for $24 for the set, and a week later I found someone
selling them for $21 per set.  So, $29 isn't a terrible price, as I did
see a dealer at a show selling them for $40.  And he was actually selling
them faster than another dealer selling them for $27 no less!
