Well, I want it all.  I bought more than one Catwoman action figure
so that I could open one and play with it.  If I had room, I'd
display it.  But I don't, so it goes in one box, while the Mint
copy goes in another box.

The fact is that if you play with something long enough
it will break.  I've been known to buy more than one copy of a poster
so that if it get hurt in day to day use I don't worry.  I have a mint
copy.

Which brings us full circle to Superman 75, the polybaged death issue.
Somepeople kept it baged, some opened it, and Many of us bought 2
copies, so we could do both.
BUT
the polybag is NOT acid-free, and over several years, will breakdown
and damage the comic.

Paranoid section coming up:
Does anyone know the affects of keeping this comic in the freezer?
Will this slow down the ageing, or just warp the comic?

I have a list of certified coins that I would be interested in selling

I'd be interested in trading only for other PCGS and NGC U.S. coins of

Be sure to include your dotted decimal address (i.e. 129.35.97.102) as

I'm sure there's plenty of reasons, but I'll bet that's (age of current
designs) one of the major ones for coins.

But most people don't know about those.  Aside from a few of the issues, such
as the Statue of Liberty and Olympics designs that were sold in places like
KMart, there's no exposure.  More circulating commemoratives like the
Bicentennial quarter would be Real Nice.

Oh, stamp machines probably have something to do with this -- you pays your
quarters and you gets your automatically-dispensed-standard-flag-designs.
More people use the machines, fewer people get to see the new designs.
(Still, at least the U.S. Postal Service spends real money promoting the
hobby, unlike the Mint, sigh...)

And, many of the post offices out here don't want to bother with collectors.
(Actually, one could make the claim that many people behind a counter out
here don't want to deal with CUSTOMERS, period, but that's another issue. :-)
I know I always felt guilty asking to see commem stamps for my daughter,
when a bazillion people were waiting impatiently behind me to buy their
standard-flag-design-books'o'stamps, and the clerks were grumbling as they
rummaged around for commem sheets.  (Then I found a smaller town P.O. that
would bring up someone just to wait on collectors, and spend time with them;
what a joy!)

Plus, there's god-only-knows how many new designs each year, and if you
collect worldwide it gets worse.  Who can keep up?

Personally, I think cards are Just The Latest Hot Fad right now.  Lord-only-
knows what's next.

I saw a Houston Aeroes hockey puck (actual game puck and not
a toy) recently.  What would something like that be worth?

I have a number of World War II timeframe savings bonds dated from
1941 to 1945.  They belong to my father who is about to cash them in.
Does anyone out there know if they have any value beyond the
redemption value?  Like do these qualify as collectibles?  Who would
be interested in collecting them?

Thanx, Larry
