The subject line says it all.  I am interested in all Presidential campaign
stuff, such as buttons and paper goods.  I am looking for memorabilia from
the 18th to 20th centuries.  The only restriction is that I do not want
reproductions -- everything MUST be authentic.  Please email me if you have
anything for sale or trade.  My email address is jsmith@owlnet.rice.edu

	I have been collecting David Winter Cottages for some time now.  I  
have a duplicate of Suffolk house, in its original box and packing, never  
been displayed.  I was wondering if anyone knows what this piece goes for  
(it was discontinued 3-4 years ago).  I am not sure if I am willing to  
sell, I guess it depends on what it is worth. 
	Please e-mail me if you have any info at alm5k@Virginia.Edu.  Do  
not respond to the above address, this machine will be off while I'm on my  
Christmas break.

Thanks,

Eeep.  Methinks the dealer hasn't been in the hobby long.  I've got some of
these from the sixties through the eighties I'd gladly sell your dealer.

Folks, these cards are called "wrongbacks" and most of us consider them 
PRINTING FLAWS, not sought-after errors.  They are, gulp, *defective merchandise*
and should be returned to fleer for replacement (too bad it's fleer).
Wrongbacks have afflicted the hobby since the beginning of time; fleer seems
to be worse than most.

It is hard sometimes to explain the difference between a defect and an 
interesting error, but remember, a card is worth something when someone will
pay you money for it OR when you get pleasure from it.  I think the '89 fleer
billy ripken card is a hoot.  same for aurelio rodriquez' card that pictures
the batboy instead of a.r.  Your mileage may vary.

Hi all!  auction update time.
REMEMBER : MONDAY MIDNIGHT WILL BE THE LATEST I WILL ACCEPT BIDDING ( i will
allow a grace period of 10minutes).. so i guess 12:10 a.m. tuesday morning
is the latest ;)


NEW NOTES:  #1, my friend said that he will ship one of the photos in a 
Paramount folder, the other will be in a frame, but he asks buyer to pay
shipping...

Also, I will usually only post updates once a day, however, as I will
probably log in a few more times a day, i will notify any bidders for that
day of changing actitivity throughout the day on the items they are bidding
on.

thanks all again !

the photos were autographed ON THE SET, they were obtained by my friend's
friend who used to work at Paramount.

Thank you all for responding!  Whoever has the highest bid by Monday Midnight
will win the auction... I will email top bidder, the previous top bidder, 
and all bids received on the day when I get a new top bid.


Thanks..

this is an interesting question Mark.  Well, actually, you are right about
the notion of taking things and enjoying them... this is (and should be) how
collectors think.. however, the distinction between the collector as a
hobbyist vs. the collector as an investor/collector should be made 
(i expect you can alredy guess my point).  

For what I call the hobbyist, these people will enjoy all their items they
have.  

For the collector/investor type, they pride themsleves on the actual value 
of their collection.  If they wish to sell in the future, they must keep it
in the best condition possible.  In the original packaging means it is NEW
or MINT. If it is out of its packaging, it is not MINT and demands less
valuue.

For example, some people i know bought the DEATH OF SUPERMAN COMICS
and immediately put them in those baggies and kept them that way. They
didn't even read them because they want ot keep them in the best condition
possible (the investor/collector).

whereas the hobbyist would read it and enjoy all the artwork .

I myself am probably a combination of both (a C*A*R*D* collector/investor and
hobbyist) :),  I do read the stats on the back of the card :)

Does anybody collect old tobacco-insert cards of the non-sports variety?
For example, I recently acquired all 100 cards in the T-58 Fish set for
about the same price as one minor T-206 HOFer.

There are hundreds of different sets in existence, dating back to 
pre-American tobacco days.  T-cards were the primary method of
advertising before postal regulations permitted magazine advertising.

These cards are extremely hard to find in places like antique shops, but
they seem to be a natural collectible given their cost relative to
baseball cards of the same era.

*****

Regarding the new news.group for card collecting, I realize this is not
pertinent to the current situation, but if cards are going to be
separated from other collectibles, shouldn't sports cards be
separated from other cards?

Card collecting doesn't really annoy
me -- except because it makes it hard
to find what I want to read in this
newsgroup since 95% of the stuff is
cards. It does, however, _puzzle_ me,
because I can't see the sense of
collecting something that is just
printed to sell to collectors. Now I
am a wide-ranging collector of paper
items ranging from bus transfers to
currency, but everything I collect has
the distinction that it has a _primary_
use that is not for collecting. So
I just can't _understand_ card collect-
ors.

Hopefully we can work out even more trades in 1993 (1989-92 Topps Football,
anyone?)...

Have a great holiday season, everyone!

Taking the derivative of f(x) gives

9x^2 + 18x

setting this equal to zero and solving for x gives two
critical points at x=0 and x=-2.  A quick substitution
of values around these points shows that this function
only decreases in the interval (-2,0).

send email to siejko@rtc.atk.com and I'll tell you where
to mail the cards.
