The title says it all. There was a player for the Cleveland Indians, Johnny Hodapp,
(192X-193X) who was then traded to the Cubs, then to the Red Sox. If
anyone has one of his cards, knows where one could be obtained,
or knows the value, I would be very appreciative.   Mint condition not a

Everyone,

I have a request for you all that may one day avoid any hassles that may
come up while attending card shows.  Please, please, please, get a receipt
for any and all cards that you buy at the show.  There has been a lot of
thefts at shows here in Minnesota, and the dealers are getting jumpy if they
suspect some of their cards have been stolen.  (This is probably true every-
where, not just Minnesota.)  A receipt is the only sure fire way to cover 
yourself if ever asked to "prove that you bought the cards".

I hope this message helps someone out there.  Best of luck filling your
wants/needs lists...

Just a point of information for everyone out there.  Fleer does a 
*great* job of replacing cards.  I sent in a damaged Juan Guzman 
Rookie Sensation along with a polite letter and they replaced it 
with a superb card in every respect! 

Does anyone else out there have any experience with other companies?

Afterhtought:
i forgot to describe the front row sets.
the 7 card sets are of the individual!
e.g. A Dikembe Mutomo Front row set. 7 cards of Mutombo
and there are 7 card sets for 5 individuals, Mutombo, Johnson, Augmon, 
Owens, and Smith.   I hope this makes more sense.  so if you have a 
particularliking for , say , Johnson, then you'd just order the Johnson
7 card set.  hope this clears things up a bit.

Also, I had people warn me away from the Kryptonics Turbocore in the 72.5 mm
size (this comes on CoolBlades, I think). I gather they use the same hub
size as in their 77mm wheel, and it is just too big. You don't have enough
polyurethane to wear down until you hit the hub. However, this is NOT from
direct experience; can anyone else confirm/deny this? I have used the Hyper
Superlites (72mm) which has a smaller spoked hub, and felt that they were 
fine; by the time I wore down to the hub the wheel was so worn I was 
ready to replace it anyhow.

I checked out these two companies, and I thought I would share the results
with y'all.  

SP-Teri:  I found their phone number in an old phone book, but when I called
them up their phone was disconnected.  I tried finding them via 411, but had 
no luck.  If anybody knows what happened to them, please let me know.

Harlick:  893 American St., San Carlos, CA.  415-593-2093.  A pair of stock
boots runs from $285 to $350.  Custom boots are $400 and up.  If you want
to buy a pair of boots from them, you have to call ahead and make an appointment
(an interesting way of doing business).

I'll probably make an appointment with Harlick next week and check them out.
If anyone is interested I can post the results in this group.

just wanted to put in a good advertisement for both Rupp's Sporting Good
in Pittsburgh and Courtesy Sports in CA.  the best price that i could find
for CoolBlades locally was $249.99.  add to that the fact that the local
sales guys are jerks and act like you just aren't quite good enough for them.
so i decided to look mail order.  i got a whole lot of help on the net from 
Thomas.Sullivan@cs.cmu.edu in getting phone numbers and the like.  i called 
a bunch of places and the best price that i could find anywhere in the 
country was from Rupp's who had them for $209.95.  unfortunately they were 
out of stock.  i then called courtesy sports who have the policy of beating
anyone's price by 5% if they have the item in stock and matching their price
if they don't have it in stock.  here is the price difference between buying
the skates from Courtesy and buying them locally.

$249.99 + $22.50(Sales Tax) = $272.49
$209.95 + $3.50(SH) = $213.45

i could have had Courtesy ship the skates next day and the total still would 
have been 40 bucks cheaper.

i am in no way affiliated with these stores (well besides being a happy 
customer).

Still in South San Francisco, although I think the address changed
a while back.  We got my son's skates there not long ago.

About the same at SP-Teri, if you want good service.  Remeber that
the boots are custom fitted and made.  The fitting takes a fair
amount of time if you want it done right.  Off the shelf boots
will be cheaper and faster, but may not fit you was well; it
depends on how average your feet are.
