But getting back to my original argument, now slightly modified, the proliferation
of new issues will hurt the hobby in the long run and relegate it to a few
eccentric individuals looking for all of the good old stuff while being totally
oblivious to modern issues.  Eventually the eccentrics will die out, and postage
stamps will be relegated to the mausoleum now being built next to Union Station
in D.C..  BTW, I saw this building about a month ago, and work appears to be
progressing well.

Yesterday I was perusing an old coin book (perhaps it's called the Blue
Book since it had the same editor as the Red Book, R. S. Yeoman, and was
written in the same format) from 1960, curious as to prices of coins 32
years ago.  I just skimmed, comparing the values of a few coins for which
I know their current values, and I was shocked to find out that a 1922
no D penny in VF was listed at $2.50!  The 1992 Red Book lists such a coin
at $350.00, and I think the latest issue of Coin World has it in the
$500.00 range. 

Wow.

Well, in my slightly hung-over state, I made a mistake in my update!  I
pulled the wrong file up to edit.  Below is the corrected version.  Please
ignore the previous post.

	Sorry for the delay, I'm still recovering from the G'N'R concert!

Here are some hand collated sets (and one Factory set) that I have
up for auction.  If there is no bidder in the appropriate column 
for a lot, then the high bid is the minimum for that lot.  The
rules for bidding follow the list (Thanks for the use Brian).

I've deleted the sets that have already been won to cut down on 
bandwidth... and create less confusion!

There was nothing in the conditions of the auctions using "empate", but it
does make some sense as a way of letting the unsuccessful bidders (such as
myself) know that they need to respond faster the next time.  The usual rule
about about multiple maximum bids being awarded to the earliest bid is in
there.

Maybe it's just me, but, why if you have a PHC10 to trade do you want another?
