I hope the 'cards' in postcards doesn't bring flames down upon my head...
I'm looking for older postcards of Peoria or Effingham, IL.  I prefer
postcards that were actually sent through the mail, but I'm not picky.

A friend of mine was leafing through an old (C 1909) story book she
had in her collection when she found two bank notes inside.

The first is a fifty dollar note issued by the "Confederate States of
America" and bearing the date "Richmond, Feb 17th, 1864.

The second is a "Reichsbanknote" issued in Berlin on 1 Februar, 1923.
It bears two eagle-crests of the Reichsbankdirektorium, a picture of
some guy with long hair and funny hat, and a neet looking water mark
down the right side.

Obviously, the first item has no value as currency, but might have
considerable collector value.  Anyone have any idea?  Who to ask?

We're just as curious about the second one.  Is it old or rare enough
to be collectible, or is it simply worth it's face value?  Does anyone
know, for that matter, if it's even still redeemable (the denomination
is "marks") at face value?

thanks.....

My favorite US coin is the Standing Liberty quarter, although I have
none.  I think the design is particularly attractive, and I especially
like the eagle on the back.  I would rather have this on the reverse of
the current quarter than the one that is there now.

I also like the 1922 no-D cent.  It's an interesting error.  Consider
this: if Philadelphia had issued cents in 1922, would the 1922-D cent
have ever been found?

I also like the Aviation Series $20 Canadian coins.  They're very
artistic.

I have three 1986 and three 1987 Topps vending cases (12,000 cards/case).
I will sell the 1986 cases for $225 each and the 1987 for $220. These are
all UNOPENED cases of cards.

I prefer to have you pick them up rather than have them mailed. I will mail
them in a second box for protection, but you will have to pay the postage.

If you are driving through Atlanta for Xmas break or vacation, we can arrange
an easy meeting place.  I will be happy to hold any cases you purchase until
you can make arrangements for yourself or a friend to pick them up.

If you are interested, contact me at jg10@prism.gatech.edu for confirmation.

Hello everybody,

This is a message given to me by a friend of mine, who is a passionate
collector of colour postcards, so please do not mail me if you have an
interest in this subject.

---------------------------------------------------------

Dear all,

My name is Christo Dimitrov. My hobby is to collect colour postcards from
all over the world. The name of my collection is "For a World of Peaceful
Sightseeing" and it consists of about 13,000 cards.

The dominating topics in my collection are: views of cities or villages,
interiors of temples, museums or old houses, sacred places, traditional
feasts and costumes, nature, wild life.

I would like to express my hope that you could send me one postcard
at least, whenever it is suitable to you. The collection is loved not
only by my three children, but also by many friends and I intend to organize an
exibition in the near future.

Thank you in advance for reading and responding to this message.

My address is:    Mr. Christo Dimitrov
		  PO Box 824

I have a beer can collection which I started in 1975. During my high school 
and college years I didn't collect much. However in the past 8 years I've 
gotten back into the hobby and have spread to collecting brewmania (bottles,
trays, signs, taps, etc..)
If anyone has any old beer cans they want to get rid of or sell please email
me with descriptions.
Just a few notes; I have a 6 pack of full powermaster cans that I would be
willing to trade with or sell. Also, Billy Beer cans (even full) are not 
worth much. People who are holding on to these should realize that theses
cans came out at the height of beer can collecting, so all the collectors out
there have at least one. Finally, I have a set of 7-up cans from 1976 that when
stacked correctly form an image of uncle sam. Does anyone out there know if 
this set is worth anything.(The cans are not full because soda eats through the 
cans eventually, unlike beer.)

Passports sound like an interesting thing to collect, but I can believe
that they are hard to find! This is the first time I've ever heard of
someone collecting them.

One thing acting in your favor is that they are probably produced with
relatively stable materials and long-lived printing techniques, though
the visa stamps probably fade after a while.

I only have two "collected" passports, an expired one of my own, and
one of my father's from the 1950s. I haven't collected more simply
because I've never come across any others. I doubt I'm interested
enough to pay very much for one, anyway.

My father's old passport is rather unusual so I'll describe it.  It is
a "Special Passport" issued to him for travel on government business.
It has a green cover with the words "Special Passport" and "United
States of America," a background pattern of small U.S. eagle seals,
and and a cutout so that the serial number shows through from the
first page.  The first page has a formal statement in copperplate
script requesting that he be allowed to pass and indicating that he is
travelling on official government business. Inside it's typed up with
those distinctive State Department passport typewriters and includes a
special field where the State Department typed in a brief description
of the official purpose of his trip.

Just out of curiosity, is there some legal problem with collecting
passports? Somehow I have images of old James Bond movies with guys
passing through borders with pockets full of different passports...

First I apologize for wasting bandwith on a message just to Richie,
but his address didn't come through on my reader and I couldn't
reply directly to him - sorry.

Richie,

You sound like a man after my own heart.  I collect hockey cards of
players who played for the Univ of Wisc (where I did my grad work)
and the Univ of Maine (where I now teach).  [I also collect cards of
players who played on a US Olympic hockey team, but that's another
category.]

Anyway, do any of those ex-Clarkson players have minor league cards
from the AHL or IHL - or have they played in those leagues in the
last few years?  If so, I may have some cards for you.  ProCards
issued sets for both those leagues starting in 88, and I have
gotten complete sets since that time.  I pull out the cards I want
and try to trade the rest.

Drop me a note with a listing of all the players you collect, and
I'll send you a list of every (pretty darned close) they've ever
been on - it's part of a project called EHC (Electronic Hockey
Checklists) that I'm associated with.  I'll send you more  info
if you're interested.

Best wishes, Charlie
