Could someone out there with a non-sports reference help me?
How much is a complete set of "Guns and Pistols" worth.  This
set is standard size, 50 card set, printed in Canada in 
early 1950's.  I'm sure form the look of it that it is a
Parkhurst set.  Please send e-mail.
Thanks.

Just what you need -- another line of non-sports cards.

Sears is beginning to sell packs of cards featuring their tools, and
including gum. I got a special preview pack of 6 in with my
latest Sears Craftsmen Club tool ad!

Will these cards be worth anything? Who collects stuff like this?

Someone said something about saving $50 off of a case if they ordered a case
of cards from someplace other than a dealer and that they could put up with
the ka-ka, because they were saving $50.
 
Well, that's fine if you don't mind a risk of taking a loss after waiting
3 months for the case and now the wax boxes are being dumped at shows for
$5-$10 dollars a box, but you paid $20 a box and just got your case in.
 
And that is what this is, a risk. I myself have been waiting over 3 months
for a case of cards, 20 wax boxes in a case. I was told I would receive
the case in no more than 4 weeks. My intentions were, when I got the case,
was to pull 4 boxes out for myself (2 to open, 2 to keep) and sell the
remaining boxes for $5 more per box than what I paid for them. This would
cover the cost of the case and I would have 4 boxes, plus I would have
been selling the boxes $5 to $10 cheaper than all the shops/dealers/retail
stores at that time.
 
But, since I still have not received the case, the box prices have dropped
to where I won't be able to cover my 4 boxes. However, I still plan to sell
them less than the going rate around here, when I do get them. Unless they
really drop, then I'll just hang onto them.
 
So, it's a risk. You try to get stuff quick to sell at decent prices
and sometimes it doesn't pay off.

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

     1992 Donruss Cracker Jack #15 or 36

     An autographed 8x10 picture of Nolan Ryan
     in an Angels uniform.  The autograph is
     authentic and the picture is framed behind
     glass. (Guarenteed to increase in value)

Please reply by e-mail.

A friend has several World Series baseball cards printed in 1968 (or '69)
and we can't seem to find them in any card book.  He would like to know
their value.

The example I have here says (on the back):

#17 by R. G. Laughlin          Mfg. by Fleer Corp., Phila, Pa 19141
  Offical Insignia 1968 c Major League Baseball Promotion Corp.

On the front it has a cartoon-like picture of a Cleveland pitcher.
It reads:

  WORLD           Indians  vs.
  1920              Dodgers
  SERIES

Three 5-hitters
for spitballer
Coveleski

 3-1
 5-1
   3-0

What is this card worth?  How about other cards from the same series?

Thanks a lot,

Any of you out there tired of buying magazines and sometimes
two just to get the "repli-cards" inside?  Let's swap!
I have quite a number of these piling up and would be willing
to trade for Toronto Blues Jays repli-cards!

and also need help getting a few BJ's out of those mags.

* Astro-philatelist seeks the same *
************************************

I'm looking for other (astro-) philatelists for exchanging information and/
or astro-philatelic items.

I am especially interested in - what I call - :
  'Astronomical Phenomena which are Visible with the Naked Eye'.

These are for instance:
 - solar eclipses
 - lunar eclipses 
 - comets
 - aurora
 - halo's
 - stars
 - constellations
 - nova
 - meteorite (falls)
 - etc, etc.

At this moment I'm looking for (information on) philatelic! items regarding to:
 - lunar eclipses (they seem to be hard to find; on philatelic items that is)
 - meteorite (falls, and things made out of meteorites (jewelry?))
 - sea tides (perhaps tide tables on official postal stationery?).

And, of course, if YOU want to know something about astrophilately, you can
always ask me !

"Computers in Philatelic Exhibiting" is the theme for this
year's Pittsburgh Stamp Show. The show will be the first show
open only to exhibits mounted on pages prepared with the
help of a computer.

Some highlights:
- Seminars on the basics of using a computer in exhibiting.
- A talk on the possibility of "paper-less" exhibits using
  multimedia.
- A round-table discussion on the future of computer in
  exhibiting lead by Randy Neil (founder of the American
  Association of Philatelic Exhibitors).
- 30 dealer bourse, 1200-1600 pages of exhibits.

The show will be held October 31-November 1, 1992 at the
Charles Sewall Center on Robert Morris College Moon Township
Campus in Coraopolis, PA (about 1.5 miles from the Greater
Pittsburgh International Airport and near I-79 and I-279).

Anyone interested in exhibiting or participating in this show
can contact me for more information.
