While I don't collect this stuff, this doesn't "ring" right with me..
From the standpoint of FDC's, I would think that a postally used one
(with an address) as opposed to one created for collectors (no address)
would be worth more.. I suspect that a cover cancelled on first day
of issue with Zepplins would be worth quite a bit compared to one with
no address created merely for collectors.. Postal history is a hot area
right now and first day covers genuinely postally used as opposed to
the mass produced FDC with cachets and no addresses are quite inexpensive.
Unless you are collecting cachets...  People look for correct rate usage
and incorrect usage if postally used to track mail movement. First day of
usage (issue) would be a great find for them.

My two cents worth.

BTW, was the dealer in State College, LaMonges (sp?)...???

Could someone please send me the complete list of baseball sets and subsets 
that Upper Deck has produced since 1989.  For the list of subsets, I'm 
looking for their card prefixes (ie. "HR" - Homerun Heroes) and the total 
number of cards that are in the subset. 

Thanks in advance,

Well, I do collect FDCs.  And they are considered to be more valuable
if they are "clean" -- unaddressed.  There are some exceptions to this,
the ones that can also claim to be "postal history" -- ones that have
addresses of famous people on them, very old covers.  But the newer
ones are collected as art.  And that is why I collect them -- I like
the art work.  There are some exquisite covers hand-painted by a man
named Curtis Poormon, which are my favorites.  These combine a real
work of art with the stamp on a cover, thereby providing an artistic
and sometimes historical perspective on the stamp.  I collect especially
the 1981 Habitat issue, since I am interested in environmental problems
and I like combining art, stamps, and enviromental issues.

But I must also say, I like addressed covers.  Although they are 
worthless from a collecting standpoint (newer covers that is, see
above), I like the personal touch.  When I had the kids in my 
daughter's 1st grade classroom make First Day Covers, I addressed
them to each one of the kids.  Yes, it is manufactured souvenir
collecting, but I like it.  [And I resent the looking down their
noses when I ask local dealers if they carry such material.]
[I also collect "serious" material.]

For me it was always the 1909-S VDB penny.  As a newspaper carrier in
the early 60's I would search every piece of change for valuable coins,
and for that one penny in particular.  There were many exciting finds
back then, much more than today.  You could still find buffalo nickles,
walking liberty halves,  standing liberty quarters.   I was even
occasionally paid with a silver dollar for a weeks worth of newspapers. 
I never did find that penny.  Years later I purchased one to finally
complete my penny collection.

I've had them for several years, so I'm sure they are not related to the recent
changes in the x-USSR.  The stamps are monochromatic (each value is one colour)
and the detailing is crude, so they don't resemble modern stamps.  

I was just browsing the 1993 Scott's today, and I did see the first 1991 issues
of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia listed, but none of the other CIS states.

Coin Convention (he spelled it coinvention, is that correct?). Anyhow, I was
wondering if there is anything similar happening any time in the Boston area.
Would any of you avid bostonian numismatists aware of any coin shows anywhere
near Boston?

Thanks for any pointers,

-- Nacho.

As one who has NO interest in trading-
cards, I applaud the proposal to split
off the cards from rec.collecting .
May I ask -- who gets a vote? Everyone
with access to the net? or ??

I'm looking for anyone interested in collecting passports.  At the moment
I have fairly large paper money collection, but I'm looking into expanding
into passport collecting.  So far, I have seen only three passports for sale
anywhere, and these were quite old, and of no interest to me (I'm only  
looking for passports dating to post-1950).  If there are any passport 
collectors around, whether beginner or advanced, I'd love to hear from you.
The same goes for anyone who knows of a good source passports! =) Many
thanks in advance!

I need a few 1987 Fleer baseball cards to complete my set:

104 - Mattingly

128 - Incaviglia  

227 - Gruber  

628 - Joyner/Canseco  

633 - Canseco/Rice/Puckett

The high Beckett total is around $5.  I would be willing to 
trade $8 in 92 Leaf/Leaf Black Gold or in 92 Leaf Studio 
cards for these five - or work out some other trade if 
possible.
