I am a flag collector and am interested in buying any books on flags,
provided I don't already have them in my collection.

If you have _any_ books on this subject lying around the house (or know of a
library that will sell them as discards), please contact me at the
e-mail address below if you don't mind selling them.  I will pay for shipping.

Any tips or suggestions appreciated.

If anyone has replied to me recently concerning trading GB...could you

with them.  When you reply could you please include your personal e-mail
address instead of responding via the usergroup address?  This will make it
simpler to follow up.

How can they do this? It was my understanding that once the player is
signed, his card rights belong to the NBA. Has something new developed?

I must be in sonewhat of a minority here, but when I first started to
check out this group , there was a good variety of items collected and
I found many items of interest.  

Now however it all seems to be CARDS?????  Is that the only thing that
is collected on the other side of the pond?   There's an occasional
mention of stamps and coins but of 80 pieces of news just read,73 of
the items were for cards.  Since I don't know what cards are (Postcards,
cigarette cards, playing cards?????) perhaps someone could enlighten me
so that I can find some interest in this group once again	????????
 
It looks to me as though someone should start a new group called
rec.CARDS!!

Hi, I am going to try my own auction to sell some of my extras.  The auction 
would have no deadline.  Any lot that has not been bid on for a week will be
considered sold to the highest bidder.  The famous going once, going twice will
be marked in a two-day interval (only Monday thru Friday count as days).  The
auction will be updated once every two days.  Please increase your bids in $1.00
intervals.  Bidders will be notified about highest bid info.  Thanks and happy
bidding!!

PS.  I have just been told that I might have access to the net while on 
     vacation, so if I do have access, then the auction will go on normally.
     If I don't, then the period of Aug. 22 to Aug. 31 will be considered as
     one day in the auction.  Thanks to all who bid!!!  Good Luck!!!

Although I'm interested in coins,  I know how you feel... cards, upper deck,
lower bottom, 92 Nylon Rollan, etc...

The way I look at this list is that it is like a junk box at a 
dealers shop... most of the stuff is trash (cards), but everyonce in 
a while I find a real goody!  (I found a Gordianus I Sestertius 
(est $400) in a junk box once).

How about a motto for us non-card types...

There are actually three versions of this catalog, and the most common
will be missing some of the information you want. The title is
_Standard Catalog of World Coins_ by Chester L. Krause and Clifford
Mishler; Colin R. Bruce II editor. The current edition (it comes out
every year) has listings for all coins 1800-present, and sells for
$30-$40. Older editions (I think up until 1985) have listings going
back into the 18th century, with Great Britain back to George II, 1729.
There is also the ANA 100th anniversary edition, which is hardcover,
two volumes, and is complete back to 1700. This sells for $145-$175.
You might want to check your local public library, as coin clubs
sometimes donate copies of the catalogs every year. (And for those
in coin clubs out there, this is, IMHO, A_Good_Thing_To_Do.)

The prices listed in the catalog are meant to be average _retail_ price,
so, as was stated, wholesale is lower. By carefully shopping around you
can get lower prices retail, but if you want to buy a particular coin,
you may well have to pay catalog value or more to get it.

Buying the current edition of the catalog new gives you a coupon good
for a 6 months free subscription to World Coin News, which is a weekly
newspaper, and has much more information on non-US coin collecting
than Coin World.

Happy collecting!

Hi. i would like to meet some people in the Southern California area to be
partners in crime with.  Togehter we could buy bulk and split the costs and
da cards. By buying cases, we could probaly save up to 30 % of the card-shop
price (for boxes)., and this is buying /ordering from a dealer/cardshop, not
mail order .  we could also mail order if you want to go through the hassle.

anyway, the reason I state California is because I think it'd be easier
to split the case and not hassle with too much shippikng.  HOWEVER, if you
are interested, even if not in California, please e-mail me and we will work
with what we have.  I am especailly interseted in this because of the 
immensely talented draft this past June.  

also, I would like to meet some people to trade/buy cards with, hopefully
in CA area so again, no shipping and we can actaully do face=to=face 
trading.  I am in the Claremont/Pomona/Upland/San Dimas area.
also, if you happen to be in this area and have transportation and also plan
on going to card shows, a ride would be greatly appreciated (gas chipping in 
of course!)(.

Finally, I am looking for these basketball cards/sts

86-87, 87-88, 88-89 Fleer
89-90 Hoops (Robinson Jersey #138)
89-90 Fleer (Manning, Charles Smith)
91-92 Skybox,Upper Deck Rookies


email if intersted in any of the above.  thanks a lot!
