2) 1953 and 1956 Topps yankees cards to complete team sets. Do not need
Mantles from either year. Preferably in EX or Better.

On Monday, on a whim, I bought 4 packs of Upper Deck 1992 baseball
cards, high series.

I ended up getting a CP1 hologram card (College player of the year)
and an unnumbered heroes header card amongst the cards.

Can anyone tell me how common these cards are?  I thought they weren't
very common.  And yet I only bought 4 packs, and got these.

  The Elvis stamps go on sale at all U.S. Post Offices (well, actually
just the ones that care to sell them...) at noon on Jan. 8, 1993.  The
First-Day ceremonies will be an all-day (at least) affair in Memphis,
TN on Jan. 8th.  It is unusal for stamps to be sold everywhere on the
first day.  This and the fact that the USPS has prepared many times
the normal amount of these stamps are a result of popular demand.  I
think I also read that the Elvis stamp will be re-released later in
1993 as part of a set of other musicians stamps.

I did UD football last year. It was a big hassle to get the set I never 
did get a Namath header or an SP2. I bought a box plus nine packs and 
got 9 holo's of 3 players. 4 Montana cards nothing else. I had to spend
more money and trade to get as far as I did. No no more UD anything for
me. IMO they are the biggest rippoff card company around.

Some advice that was given concerning buying coins over the phone that
could be dangerous.  The advice was to always use a credit card.  Of
course, this is a good way to make sure you are satisfied with the
product.

However, you chould never give your credit card number over the phone
unless YOU have initiated the call.  A common type of telephone scam is
to call people to obtain credit card numbers.  These numbers are later
used to obtain products and YOU get the bill.  This type of scam is
fairly common.

 I don't know, but if you find out, PLEASE PLEASE post this information to
the net here.  I too undertook the project you are describing, and my major
obsession was trying to find electronic price information.  I found one
service that provides PCGS certified prices to dealers, but the price was
way too expensive for an individual.

Well I went and picked up my two star globes for $50.00 each at
penney's. No problems at all.

IMHO: The people that find something that they think is hard to find
and then try to sell it at an exorbent price. A price much higher than
something that has had the market establish it's price via supply and
demand, are a sign of one of the major problems in this country.
Everyone wants to make it rich quick. This country is filled with
people that wait for an accident to happen so that they can call a
lowyer and sue for millions and live happily ever after.

I perfer people like rick pavek. He found me something in washington
that I couldn't get here and only charged me for his cost. He didn't
raise the price 6 fold.
