HOla..I am so disappointed wiht Wild Card NFL when I opened some packs.  THere
are many damaged cards.  Will they replace those cards for me?  How can other
companies be avoiding to have that problem?  I heard the rumors that WIld Card
company has some lawsuits.  Is it true?

Has anyone seen these?  I bought a few packs yesterday, and not
knowing what to expect, I was pleasently surprised.  The are high
quality cards (Stadium Club like) that have photos of current NBA 
players when they were in college, plus just regular college players.

There are "Wild Cards" inserted randomly (so they say) plus cards
that have a stripe with a certain number (5,10, 50, 100, 1000) in
which you may send in and get that many of that card.  

There were only 30,000 cases produced, each case with 15 boxes.

Let me know what you think.

There's an interesting article in the April 13th issue of The Sporting
News about Upper Deck's covert program of selling large quantities of
sorted cards to a relatively small but unknown number of dealers. Some
questions about the program were answered by Jay McCracken, the VP of
Upper Deck. In summary:
	
UD sells some dealers large quantities of cards sorted by number. For
example, for about $23,000, these dealers can buy a shipment
consisting of 800 cards of each of the 700 cards in the low-number
baseball series, a total of 560,000 cards. They also can buy more than
one shipment.

Limited-edition cards are not included, nor are the cards from the
high-number series.

Dealers can't just get 800 of one card. Its 800 of all 700 cards.

The program doesn't exist for all four sports.

Rumored estimates of number of dealers in program is from 12 to 70.

McCracken says that the cards are taken from the overall production
rather than boosting production for selling singles. He also says that
fewer UD baseball cards will be made in '92 than were made in '91.

I don't know if that $23,000 for 800 cards is an actual figure or just
an example figure. It sounds to me like UD is just selling a 800 count
factory set package to a select group of dealers. (Except that the
cards are already separated into lots). If the $23,000 figure is an
actual amount that comes to $28.75 per set so my guess is that it's
lower than that.

What I want to know is if there is some kind of law that prohibits
cards companies from producing cards from a previous year, for example,
starting the presses up again for the '89 series. Also I wish that
there was some way that the card companies could be forced to reveal
production totals.

Winners are those that are obtained by matching the stats on the ball field
that comes with every pack of Topps cards.  When you send away, you'll get
back cards that are gold and have "winner" stamped on them.

The regular or non-winner cards are those received in the packs or those
that you receive after sending in 100 runs with your $2.00.

That is the difference.

Well, after getting about 20 winners out of individual wax packs I was
buying here and there, I saw Kmart was having a sale.  Box of 36 15cnt
Topps cards for 16$.  I went and bought a box, and I got the new winner
cards with the the grey backing (bah!).

Anyway, I also noticed that about 1/3 of the cards in the box were still
the white kind, but they had been stamped twice with the silver overlay
stuff you sratch off.  I found out after testing that you can rub of the 
top layer without damaging the bottom layer on most of these if you do it
carefully with a coin with a smooth edge (penny or nickle).  From there its
flashlight time again...

On a side note, I actually won a pack of gold cards the legitimate way
off one of the grey back cards.  Go figure...

    Just so you know - the Orioles are still selling Opening Day programs.
It seems that too many people biught lots of them (hoping to make a profit)
on opening day.  The Orioles got so many complaints from people who were
unable to get a program they decided to just sell more.  Bottom line is 
that the Program has little value as a collectable item.

Finally sorted through all the O-Pee-Chee Baseball '92.  The
Allstar Series of numbers from 386-406 in Topps was replaced
as follows:
 
        386 L Blankenship (Oak)      397 C. Worthington (Bal)
        387 Gary Carter Tribute      398 John Orton (Cal)
        388 Ron Tingley (Cal)        399 Gary Carter Tribute
        389 Gary Carter Tribute      400 John Dopson (Bos)
        390 Gene Harris (Sea)        401 Moises Alou (Mtl)
        391 Jeff Schaefer (Sea)      402 Gary Carter Tribute
        392 Mark Grant (Atl)         403 Matt Young (Bos)
        393 Carl Willis (Min)        404 Wayne Edwards (Chi)
        394 Al Leiter (Tor)          405 Nick Esasky (Atl)
        395 Ron Robinson(Mil)        406 Dave Eiland (NYY)
        396 Tim Hulett (Bal)         407 Mike Brumley (Bos)
 
All you out there that guessed that it was filled with
Blue Jays and Expos were WRONG! Too bad, that would have
been OK by me.
 
I mean, look at the players list above.  Rather than chock
that series with rookies, or prospects, or even great hot dogs 
vendorsfrom stadia past and present, they pick John Dopson 
and Craig Worthington(?)  Pity the Oakland A's team set 
collectors who will need a Lance Blankenship to
from O-Pee-Chee to finish their sets.
 
Oh well, as I said before, the Topps/O-Pee-Chee tradition
continues north of the 49th.
