The self-propelled Rail Diesel Cars may have been known by different
names on different railways. My father (a teacher, not a railway
employee) calls them Dayliners. I think this may have been the CP term,
possibly later adopted by VIA.

My youngest sister, when she was quite small, called an RDC a
"ding-bus", because it was a bus that went "ding" (that is, it rang a
bell as it passed through a crossing rather than sounding a whistle or
horn).

The CP/VIA RDC service between Montreal and Mont-Laurier, abandoned in
1981, was known as "Le P'tit Train du Nord" (the little train of the
north), but I don't know if it had that name before RDCs were used on
the route. On at least one occasion in its final years, I remember
seeing a conventional train used on this route.
(The 1981 date refers to the last run of the passenger service. Freight
service to Mont-Laurier lasted until a few years ago, when the line was
abandoned north of St. Jerome. The Rolland paper mill at Mont-Rolland
closed a few months later.)

I would have to agree.. Certain cards (not commons) would vary in price
multiple, depending upon the player; whether he is "hot" or "cold" and
due to local demand.. So, a range of multiples is given to adjust the
Hi and Low Beckett price to arrive at the price for a gold card. I still
think it might be too early for these multiples to hold steady.. I expect
to see Beckett change these as more collectors start receiving their
gold cards in the mail..

I've become curious for an answer to something:

Earlier in the week I posted a list of Topps cards from 1958 - 1959.
In the list of 1959's I noted that the number 348 card for that year was
"shared" by Ted Lepcio and Chico Fernandez.  One respondee noted that 
one card may have been printed by Topps Canada and the other by Topps 
USA, however they're both printed by Topps USA.

Does anyone have any information or ideas on the above?

There is no "trick" -- those investment cases are intended to be 
permanently sealed and never opened again, ever, until the
heat-death of the Universe... :-) The whole idea is that the coins that
are put in these are officially graded (these free samples are not so 
graded) and thus a sealed packet can be traded and bartered with some
degree of assurance that the contents are precisely what the label says.
If the box could be opened and the contnts exchanged or damaged, then
the integrity of the grading and rating/evaluation would be compromised,
and the large sums people pay for such grading would not be paid, as
it wouldn't be worth it.

I have never dealt with them but I am surprised you are willing to spend your`
money with those guys. There prices are extremely high compared to other
dealers in the SCD. I have no reason to believe they would not provide good
service but the same is true of ALL dealers in SCD since they have a very
strict policy of cracking down on bogus dealers (No accident that you do
not see any Big Bob`s ads in the SCD). Why not post your want lists on the

Well, I was right.  The new Beckett came out and it says that the Common
Gold cards are worth on the average of $.75 per card.  I knew that the 
100 run stat cards would be worth more.  The Beckett guide goes on to say t
that Gold cards 10X to 25X (and it's blank).  Does this mean that if you 
take the price of a premium card that the value is 10 times the value on
the low end and 25 times the value on the high end?  For instance, a num-
ber 1 (Nolan Ryan) is worth .30, so 10 times would be 3.00 on the low end
and 7.50 on the high end.

Common Gold winners are worth $.25 per card.  And premium cards would be
worth 4X to 6X per card.  So, a number 1 (Nolan Ryan) winner card would be
worth $1.20 on the low end and $1.80 on the high end.

This is the way that I read it, how about you?
