Considering that the Flyers opener is not to far a way and I have to
get a new jersey and have 88 put on it, I am going to put together a  
fairly large list doubles that I am willing to part with. Anybody that
is interested in recieving a copy just drop me an e-mail message and 
I will send it off when I finish the list. I am going to include a
something from most sports and a few non sport holo's. 

I have not decided whether to run an auction or just put a fixed price

 Terry, this is Chris Calhoun.  You responded to my post the other day about
the Justice and Sanders cards.  I am unable right now to use E-mail so this is
the only way I have of talking to you for a few days.  I could not find a
checklist of the 92 OPC to look for Sanders and Justice but I would love for
you to try to locate these cards because I would like to have them.  Also if it
wouldn't be too much trouble, I'd appreciate it if you could send me a list of
the Sanders and Justice "oddballs" you have.  I have some but would like to see
your list.  I don't have any problems receiving mail so I'll check tomorrow
about 12 est., then I'm going home for the weekend and will be back Monday.  If
I don't hear from you tomorrow, I'll get back in touch Monday.
Thanks,

I thought about getting it since they say there would only be 500 produced. 
But when I saw that they are actually going to sell individual players'
autograph, I backed off because who knows how many of each player do they plan
to have.

Another thing, has any of Front Row members ordered the pure gold series?  I
placed my order last May and after 3 phone calls I still have not receive the
set.  All they say is there has been a delay in manufacturing the sets and 
everytime I called they promised me I would get the set in two weeks.  I am 
starting to doubt the Front Row company.  I lot of dealers that I talked to 
said they will never carry Front Row products because of their policy but no
dealer would tell me what is the policy.  Anyone has any problem with the
Front Row Collector's Club?

I have the same problem with knives. I collect current-production
factory-made knives, and some of them come with boxes and wrapping
which cannot be restored to pristine condition once you undo the package
to look at them. If you think you are having a problem with $7 figures,
think of the same situation with $100-wholesale knives! I have a
couple Warner-Moran bowies which have never had the protective wrapping
undone from the blades... Ek knives come wrapped in brown paper
within their boxes, and once you take them out, it is impossible to
get the paper re-wrapped back in exactly the same folds and shape
it was when they put it in the box at the factory.

Of course, if you think of these things as an investment, I cannot
imagine being able to sell them at some future date without unwrapping
them so the buyer can inspect them. So maybe trying to keep this
packaging pristine is a waste of effort. I suppose you could define
the item as "mint" and "new in box" even if it is sitting apart from the
box and wrappings, as long as you still have all the wrapping and
enclosures that came in the box.

I always did think the "buy two -- save one and use one" philosophy was
the way to go. Trouble is, I tend to apply it to items like thousand-dollar
rifles, too... Collecting is an interesting mind-set, isn't it? :-)

Great flamefest...

I'd just like to note that I've seen the descriptive "Mint NH" for years
and years. I always assumed they added the "NH" because "Mint" by itself
didn't imply anything about hinging.

On the other hand, change overtakes us all and "NH" seems to be the rule
and not the exception at least for recent issues.

As a compromise (assuming anyone's interested in such a thing) I'd
suggest we recognize Scott's convention which is that unused stamps
after some date (1935?) assume NH and those before might carry a hinge
mark. Thus "Mint" means something different depending on the age of
the stamp.

This lets the poor fellow with the C2 off the hook, since unhinged C2s
probably aren't all that common, and they were all issued before 1935.

This probably doesn't count, but  there was a US 10c minerals
se-tenant (4??) that was printed to look as if it was diamond
shaped.  Of course, the sheet itself was a rectangle, and each
stamp was really a squarish rectangle disguised as a diamond.

The assumption that postally unused stamps are by definition "mint"
is the problem.. I would say that that assumption is wrong.. The term
"mint" in my opinion refers to the stamp in a condition as issued by
the postal authorities.. i.e. unused, unhinged, sound condition.

A postally unused stamp which has been hinged, is just that.. Unused, hinged.

A mint stamp is mint.. Unused, never been hinged, sound.

One could say mint, hinged; but it's like saying "slightly pregnant".
One is or one isn't.. There is no in between.. IMHO... If you add qualifiers
onto "mint", it's no longer that...
