In a previous article, ram@smsc.sony.com (Ray Milkey) says:
>This sounds like what is known as a misregistration error.  Stamps

Many years back, I think late '70s, I bought a sheet of commemoratives at the
USPS and discovered that they had this kind of error on them, so severe
that the line of black printing that should have been at the bottom
of the stamp was instead at the top of the next row lower. (Or vice
versa, with the line that should have been at the top instead appearing
at the bottom of the row above -- I forget which now.) 

I took the intact sheet to a local stamp & coin dealer and he paid me
$75 for it -- I guess that was about 6-7 times face. 

I've always sort of wondered about that since -- did I sell the '70s
equivalent of the upside-down-airplane stamp? Or was this a trivial
printing error and not really worth all that much?

Would the dealer have left the sheet intact or broken it up
into individual stamps, or divided it into some other partition?
(One row, either the top or bottom, would have just been missing
the line of print entirely -- would those stamps have been worth anything
on their own, more or less than the others with the line of print in the
wrong place, or what?)

The Krauss-Micheler (sp?) Guide to Foreign Coins covers all word coins from
1800 on and gives a rough ideas of values (although most coins wholesale @25-50%
of the prices listed).  It will run about 30$, though.

These stamps can be obtained through the Russian Stamp Agency of North
America, at Unicover.  I'm not sure if they sell just individual stamps,
but that's a good place to start.  They sell all the new issues of various
nations to North American customers at face value.  The only problem is
that you have to order a minimum of four stamps if you subscribe, which
means unless you collect blocks of four, you end up with three extra
stamps.

Unfortunately, the invoice that I have doesn't seem to have a mailing
address.  The phone number is (307) 634-5911.

Hope that's useful.

Some of the sold lots have been removed to help with the confusion
factor... I've also lowered some of the minimum bids (and have
added some cards to the lots).

Below are some cards that I am putting up for auction.  All the 
cards are guarenteed to be in NrMt condition (I don't believe 
there is such a thing as a perfect card, so everything to me can
only be NrMt at best).  The rules are the same as any auction...
three days without an increase the cards are sold.  All increases
should be $1 (for lots $10 and over) and $0.50 (for lots under
$10).  Please add $1 for postage in the US (except for lot #3... 
the buyer will be responsible for half the postage on this lot)
and $1.50 for Canadian postage.

Lot #1    Nolan Ryan (A)			  MB: $17
     1990 UD #734 (No Stripe Error)
     1980 Topps #580

Lot #2	  Nolan Ryan (B)			  MB: $8

  Hello from Australia,
                         It has been quie a while since I posted this
  article due to the gripes that I got from some people about it.
  I hope that the people who complained about the waste of space are
  appeased after a break of several months between postings, and will
  make an effort to answer my questions should they be able.

    My questions are related to the TOPPS STAR WARS sets of which I 
  have a number.  My questions are;

1)  I have a set numbered 1a-66a with a red border.  The pictures are
    the same as TOPPS series 2.  Who published this set, were there any
    other sets with the 'a' numbers, and were there stickers to go with
    it ? Is this set of any significant value ?

2)  I have all of the stickers in The Empire Strikes Back sets, but one
    of these stickers has a white back instead of the puzzle piece which
    should be printed on it.  From memory it is part of series II.  Is 
    this a common occurrence, and again, are these of any value ?

3)  I have heard of cards being printed in languages other than English.
    Can anyone tell me which ones they know to be available and give me 
    some indication as to the price I might expect to pay ?

4)  Can anyone give me some information on the infamous C3PO penis card ?
    What number and series is it, and what could I expect to pay for it
    in the US ?

      Please help if you can.  Information like this is extremely hard
    to come by in Australia, and I would be indebted to anyone who is
    able to help me.  Indeed, if you have any other information with
    regard to SW cards which you think may intrest me, please feel free
    to mail me.  Likewise, I will attempt to answer all questions that
    people may have regarding Australian issues of Star Wars cards.

                              Thanking you in anticipation

According to a post on another service, the first 15% of the ST:TNG holograms
were printed with the wrong number on the back.  Instead of the 01H, 02H, etc
they had the number of the regular card that corresponded to the ship 
used for the hologram, i.e. Ferengi Hologram numbered 036 instead of 04H, etc
Thus 85% of the holograms are correct, 15% are incorrect and are just now

I've come across something else I thought there might be some
interest in: 1992 Bazooka Baseball Cards

These cards are quadcards (or 4-in-1) i.e. a regular sized card
with four smaller pictures.  The pictures in this case are of the
Topps 1953 Archives.  88 Archive cards are included in this 22
card Bazooka set.  All of the big names are there (Aaron, Mays,
Williams, Robinson) with the exception of Mantle, who apparently
did not give his permission.  The cards are real nice and only
come one to a box in Bazooka Gum Boxes.  Therefore putting a set
together is somewhat difficult. These sets compliment the 1953
Topps Archive Sets very nicely.

I have some of these 1992 Bazooka complete sets for $15 a piece.

I also still have a few 1992 OPC Premier Baseball Wax Boxes
for $25.00 a piece.

Please let me know if interested in either of these items.

Thanks,
Chip
