There are a number of outfits based in Britian who manufacture replacement
parts for all types of Dinky/Corgi/Lesney etc toys. The fellow I deal with is
based out of Canada and imports a great variety of parts. I'd suggest
contacting Bill Zimmerman, RR#1 Vineland Station, Ontario Canada, L0R 2E0, or
call him at 416-562-7095 after 4 PM.

Last price I saw was 35 cents per tyre. Bill puts out a 10 page price list...

Contact me by EMAIL if you'd like to talk about Dinky toys - I'm particularly 
interested in the Dinky planes and am always looking to buy or trade.

I have to disagree.  In my opinion, the Elvis stamp will be a step above
most other stamps becasue of it's subject and the wide interest in Elvis.
The fact that some were released early and postmarked before the official
date will make them very valuable (relatively speaking).  I don't think
we are talking thousands of dollars here, but more that the regular first
day issues will be worth a year or two from now when all the hoopla has
died down.

The "John Wilkenson" token is a British necessity piece commonly known as
Condor tokens.  This is one of hundreds of designs from various issuers
and if I remember right there are over a dozen varieties of this token
alone.  Most are dated 1790-1796.  The standard reference is by Dalton
and Hamer.  A local coin dealer may have one for viewing.  A lot of these
survived because they were replaced by "coin of the realm" in the early
1800's.  A number of people collect them because of the wealth of themes
and locations.  Some were even issued for collectors of that time period.

I am looking for the Christmas 1980 "Son" ornament.  It is dark yellow in

On the back is a verse: A son is a maker of memories, a source of pride. A
son is love.  The ornament is a round glass ball (old-fashioned type).  If any

For those readers who are interested in First Day Covers, there is an
excellent article on the history of FDC's in this month's issues of the
APS Journal, "The American Philatelist".. If you are not an APS members,
you might be able to get your local library to borrow a copy from the
APRL in State College, PA..  BTW, non-APS members should consider joining
this excellent philatelic organization!!!

This article gives some excellent background into how it all got started
and eventually got to the mess it is today regarding first day cancels
and why it is such a joke with most modern issues..

I just found some old trading cards and was wondering if they had any

There are James Bond 007 trading cards, 42 out of a set of 44 Monkees trading
cards, a lot of Batman cards.

The 007 cards have 1965 Glidrose Productions Ltd on them.
The Batman cards have 1966 National Periodical Publications, Inc., T.G.C.
on them.
The Monkees cards have 1966 Raybert Prod. Inc. on them.
The Beatles cards only have T.G.C. printed as indentifying marks.

Also I found a "20 Wallet Photo" book of the Beatles, Beatles 0493, copyright
1964 by Dell Pub.

If you have any info, please e-mail to me rather than post here.

Don't mess with Elvis!
 
The PO has closed down a local contract station here in San Diego for (rumor
has it) early release of the ELVIS stamp.
 
A while back, I reported the early release at that station of the New Year
stamp (which I used on cover to China, hoping to get a few of them back.)
 
I was back there today, but ended going to a private mailing center a few
doors
down.  There they informed me that _they_ were the new station. When
pressed to
say why the other was closed down, the lady told me  she "heard" they released
the Elvis stamp early, which fit with my experience of their other early
release.....
 
p.s. there was no line to buy the stamp at the contract station....... :)

My understanding is that a nice Elvis stamp on a clean cover with an
early postmark is going to be worth a teeny, tiny premium, unless it's
the first recorded date, at which point it'll move up to a slight
premium.  :-)    There have been too many early releases recently,
and they are too easy to fake, for early postmarks to be worth much
money.  On the other hand, such a cover will be more interesting than
a run-of-the-mill cover from after January 8.

Well, the story I've heard is that, after the end of the Funeral for a Friend
story, a new miniseries called "The Legacy of Superman" will begin, in
which a new time-traveling hero named Wave Rider is going to go back in
time to save Superman before he died.  But then, this may be any more correct
than the above, but I thought I'd just say what I've heard.

What I have done in the past is to put the player's card in a top loader
and put that in a SASE.  All this gets mailed off to 

[insert player's name]
c/o [team name]
[team address
from the back of
tuff stuff]

I have had only 1 card not returned, all the others have been returned
signed.  I usually don't go for big name players, I guess I figure my
chances go down if I send a card off to Jim Kelly vs. the underdog
offensive linemen I route for.  Oh, and don't get your hopes up about
getting alything else with the card (like a letter or anything).  I've
only had ONE player send a letter as well, so I guess I have his
signature twice.

This also works with college players as well.

If you want to know the football players that I have had sign cards
through the mail just email me.  


thanks
Bob
