Greetings!
 
I am posting this on behalf of a friend in CUBA.  He has been my stamps
exchange partner there for a while, & unlike others I have dealt with, he
isn't
after any advantage in the exchange.
 
He wants postcards and postmarks from state capital cities, and has also asked
for postmarks from the Northeastern States.
 
If you are so inclined, drop a card to:
 
Carlos Ferrer

San Augustin, Habana 36 Cuba
 
Please mention you got his address from Louis Cornelio in San Diego, CA.
 
Thanks!
 p.s. drop me a note if you'll write him; I'm curious about the response.

I bought a "Chandelier" Swatch Watch as a Christmas special at Macy and
I was wondering what is the future prospect about the price appreciation
of that watch and if it has already gone up in trading value.

I would also appreciate if some one can send me e-mail (if that information
was posted earlier) educating me about the Swatch Watch Collections.
Alternately, please point me to the sources/books that may be help full
in this regards.

Hmmmm...Aren't we still embargoed with Cuba?  (Meaning possesion of stamps
from that country is deemed illegal here in the US?)

Please advise if this has changed...

Well Gang....
 
Just got my letter from UpperDeck on whats going to be in the High Series
Hockey.
 
The 200 card series will have the lastest traded players and hottest rookies. 
The exclusive insert set for the HOBBY will be the "Gordie Howe Selects. Like 
the Ted Williams, Jerry West selects, it will be a 20 card set. The top
rookies, and NHL stars like Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux, Joe Juneau, Teemu
Selanne and his insights on why these and the others in the set are the best
in hockey today.
 
The Hockey Heroes insert set is Gordie Howe. There are 6 new Ameri/Can Rookie 
Team Hologram cards and the World Junior Chanmpionship cards will return with 
the top potential draft picks for 1993. The World Jr. Champ cards will be a
full-bleed design, UV coated, and foil stamped.
 
Shipping is expected to be around Febuary 18. But thats been broken before
will be nice to have them early.
 
 
Gee can't wait eh?

The SALE of Cuban goods in the US is prohibited.  I have some Canadian friends who
routinely spend part of the winter in Havana.  I get post cards from them with
Cuban stamps on them and nothing is illegal about that.  Now if I were to try to
sell them, I could possibly get in trouble, but I doubt if the Justice department
would care about an under a buck transaction.  I also have stamps from North Korea
obtained in a similar fashion.

Personally I think all embargos are stupid and hurt the common people much more than
the government they are aimed at, but that is a matter for a different group.

 I didn't think this was a flame, but rather an important correction.
People have enough difficulty communicating without adding the further
complication of unclear and misleading writing.
 The statement above is obviously wrong but it is too much to expect the 
reader to try to figure out what the author really meant.
 Look up the definitions of 'biweekly', 'bimonthly' and 'biannual' in a
modern dictionary and you will see what happens when people routinely
use words improperly - the words become meaningless.

1,000,000 Elvis fans can't be wrong, but thanks for trying to enlighten us.

Well how about Huey Lewis and the News?  Now there's a group that writes
their own material--- what rock 'n roll animals!


>that kind of stuff is subjective anyway, but I think I made my point.


Yep, and eloquently too.

Well... Perhaps the poster forgot to mention that these are 10 card
lots??  I have seen this particular poster before and he/she tends to
sell minor league cards.. I have inquired before and also have never
received replies.. Might be a dealer or just someone who's trying to
make a buck....rather tend a collector merely trying to unlaod dups...

I normally don't meddle into prices, but this seems a bit high.
These are trading cards we're talking about, right?  Looking at my most
recent price guide, we have the following prices for TMNT

    Topps Series 1 (1989) - $7-$12 a set (88 cards)
    Topps Series 2 (1990) - $6-$10 a set (88 cards)
    Topps Movie Series 1 (1990) - $8-$14 a set (132 cards)
    Topps Movie Series 2 (1990) - $7-$12 a set (99 cards)

Even the Topps Series 2 holograms are only $10 a set.  Are you sure the
$80 was for cards? Topps?
