This is the same lunchbox my older sister *had* back around 1967.  She
would just kill to have it now, I'm sure.  She threw quite a fit when I
began to use it when I started first grade, so I ended up with a brand new
Roadrunner and Wyle E. Coyote box.

And, this just happens to be the same sister who extorted some Beatles
trading cards from me which a classmate had given me.  She forced me to
take an already-opened half-pound bag of M&Ms in exchange for the cards,
because "she was the bigger Beatles fan" and "Mom and Dad would be on her
side" due to this unrefutable fact; I was surely in for trouble if I
resisted.  (Hey, I was only nine and she was an adult.... sixteen!!)

Funny, but I don't talk with this particular sister very often these days.

Such bank notes are not so very rare.  But "face value"?  How many marks
is it?  I have a German note of 2 Dec, 1922 of 5000 Mark and a note of
20 Feb, 1923 of 20000 Mark (and a note of 5 Sep, 1923 of 1000000000 Mark).
I think by the time they were issued they might have had just enough value
to buy a bread.  Certainly not redeemable at face value, otherwise I would
immediately give up my "Eine Milliarde" note.

I have a 69-70 Topps Basketball Checklist Card #99 that is in
NrMt condition.  It is well centered, glossy and has sharp corners.
The only thing keeping it from being Mint is very minor corner wear
on the top two corners.  Beckett on this card is $275.
I am considering auctioning/selling/trading this card.

Is anyone interested in this card and older basketball cards in general?

 And they may also be stamped after the first day of issue. Sounds like

I always tear carefully.  I presume by corner block, you mean the plate
block (the one with the number/s on it) of 4 or 6 or 8 or whatever it takes.  My
general rule of thumb for the size of the block is 2 times the number of stamps
with adjacent numbers, plus 2.

>Also, can anyone recommend a good way to save blocks like this? I

Run, don't walk, to your nearest stamp dealer and buy some stock books.  Putting them
in plastic bags holds in the moisture and doesn't allow the stamps to breathe.  This
can be a real problem in your part of the country.  Second stamps should never be
stored flat for any length of time.  They tend to adhere to whatever surface they
are lying on.  I know you said in a file cabinet, but some people tend to just stack
rather then keep folders vertical in file cabinets, and I wasn't sure what you
meant by "flat".

It is bone china with pink, yellow, and blue flowers ,light green trim

This set was brought back from Japan by my uncle I believe in the

Well, that's 3 sets that readers have so far; can anyone describe this
better?  I gathered from one posting that the whole Uncle Sam
display was around 70 cans.  How many cans actually are in the display?
How big is this thing when set up?  4 feet tall?  I bet this is 
pretty impressive.

I haven't heard of this one, but if it was never corrected, then it's just
a common card that has a big error on it!

Some cards that have noticeable errors are never corrected.  Two examples
off the top of my head are the 1969 Topps Aurelio Rodriguez, which has a photo
of a batboy instead of Rodriguez; the other in a similar vein if the 1985
Topps Gary Pettis (I think) card- don't remember if it was a batboy, but it
sure as heck wasn't Pettis!

Both cards were never corrected...
