I can't comment on the "trade" in question (other than that it's pretty
close to the end of the school semester, so I would be leary of providing
information which might be needed for a take-home test), but I wanted to
follow-up on the "trade for technical services" angle.

Unbelievable as it may sound, 3-1/2 years ago, I "paid" the pastor who
performed my wedding with baseball cards.  It was a "stack" of late '70s/
early 80s stars/rookies (maybe something like $50 worth, but I don't recall
ever computing the values).  I don't know now which ones they were, because
we also traded later. 

At the time I wasn't into collecting (having forced myself to stop so that 
I could pay for college) and was happy to help out a friend with few of my
old cards (he took up collecting to have something in common to do with his
3 young boys), especially since it meant not parting with another $50-75.  

The exact timing of all this escapes me now, but sometime in there, we also
traded some cards, because I had more he wanted than he was comfortable 
"taking" in exchange for this services.  And in this trade (primarily
for some '87 Topps All Star Rookies...which finally started my subset 
collection that I'd thought about years ago) he threw in an '88 Score pack
just to show me how nice the cards were becoming.  I didn't think it was 
necessary, but he insisted.  My wife hasn't ever held that move against him, 
though she might have, because it sparked my return to collecting.   
I thought I'd been cured of my desire to collect (having been away for 5 
years), but the combination of seeing those cards and again having at least
a trickle of discretionary money to spend proved otherwise.

I'm happy with the outcome of the trade, on both fronts as I certainly
enjoy collecting again and am still happily married.

Rolls of average circulated buffaloes sell for about $14, so you might
get up to 10 dollars a roll if they have dates.....

Does anyone know about the 1993 Action Packed Cards Set?  I just
bought quite a few, but don't know what they are.

They have Hall of Famers plus regular players going way back.
They are raised on the card, like the football cards of one to
two years ago.  As in regular cards, I mean people like Manny'
Mota, Davey Johnson, etc.  None are people of this decade.

I just bought my first box (36 packs * 5 cards each) of the new Marvel
Masterpieces cards. After sorting the cards, I entered my counts into
a little spreadsheet I use to track wants/extras for my sets. Since my 
spreadsheet uses 'X' marks to indicate that a particular set has a given
card, the spreadsheet has a 'graphical look' to it. That is what caused
mo to notice an odd pattern in the distribution of cards in the box. Has
anyone else seen patterns like this?

Just curious, but did anyone out there actually get cards for
solving this guys homework problem?  I was told  by another 
fellow (who responed to the request quickly) that they had
been claimed by someone else.

I think this is the first time I have ever seen anyone

At any rate, a trade is a trade, and I'd like to know

Just bought alot of 1993 Action-Packed Baseball Cards.  These
cards are raised on the card, like the football ones of one to
two years ago.

The cards feature players of the 70's as the most recent, but
go back to HOF'ers and such luminaries as Frank Crosetti, Willie
Mays, Jimmy Piersall, Boog Powell, Minnie Minosa, etc.  Does 
anyone have any info on these?

 I bet the plate number on the back is a bit high too. The BEP has for
awhile been using a WEB press to print $1 bills for certain districts.
The bills are worth $1, if you believe the government. The overall 
quality is a bit fuzzy as well. I have not seen any in the LA area but 
saw a bunch in La recently. 
 (If I can find a good description of the new press I will post it.)

My first response was to say "run like Hell",  but walking quickly is probably
good enough.   Seriously...

The trick is to notice they compare apples to oranges, and sell you (shall
I say lemons? maybe not, but at least) peaches.   The brochures generally
show curves for the price/year for "MS-63 Gold Coins"...   but they don't tell
you WHICH coins.  They generally select the best coins (in hindsight)
for their graphs.   However, the value of all "MS-63 Gold Coins" didn't
go up at the same rate.  Some were real winners, others were comparative
dogs.

Although I wouldn't be surprised to find out that they have done a lot
of research into what factors makes various coins particularly prone to
investment value,  I have never seen a brochure which touts specific
coins over generic mint states.   Such brochures might exist, but
I haevn't seen them.

If I were interested in investing in this area, I would sit down and read
read read read...  there are a lot of books out there.  Become your own
expert.  You KNOW you'll be looking out for your own best interest.

Perhaps one thing you might do would be to find out where your local
coin club meets, and go to a few meetings.  Find out who they consider
to be the most knowledgable and reputable dealer, and talk to him.
Once again, this falls under the category of research...
