Some of the sold lots have been removed to help with the confusion
factor... I've also lowered some of the minimum bids (and have
added some cards to the lots).

Below are some cards that I am putting up for auction.  All the 
cards are guarenteed to be in NrMt condition (I don't believe 
there is such a thing as a perfect card, so everything to me can
only be NrMt at best).  The rules are the same as any auction...
three days without an increase the cards are sold.  All increases
should be $1 (for lots $10 and over) and $0.50 (for lots under
$10).  Please add $1 for postage in the US (except for lot #3... 
the buyer will be responsible for half the postage on this lot)
and $1.50 for Canadian postage.

Lot #1    Nolan Ryan (A)			  MB: $17
     1990 UD #734 (No Stripe Error)
     1980 Topps #580

Lot #2	  Nolan Ryan (B)			  MB: $8
     1990 UD #734 (No Stripe Error)
     1991 OPC Premier #102
     1992 Donruss Cracker Jack #15 or 36

Lot #3    Nolan Ryan (C)                          MB: $15
     An autographed 8x10 picture of Nolan Ryan
     in an Angels uniform.  The autograph is
     authentic and the picture is framed behind
     glass. (Guarenteed to increase in value)
	****HIGH BID:	Tom L.		$25	****
	****SOLD****

Lot #5    Frank Thomas (B)                        MB: $5
     1990 Topps #414 (#1 Draft Pick)
     1990 Bowman #320
     1991 Donruss #477
     1992 Topps SC #301

Donruss McDonald's MVP and Gold MVP, '91 UD, '92 UD, '91 Fleer, '92 Donruss,

would also be interested in any '91 Denny's holos.  Please help me!  Anybody

Send me a list of the extras you are willing to trade, and cards you are

Thanks in advance,

The following is reproduced without permission from World Coin News,
Aug. 31, 1992, page 11.

Small Change Looks Traditional

Estonia's small change carries the distinct look of the pre-1940 coins
produced during the country's last period of independence. Estonia's
currency system has 100 senti equaling 1 kroon. The kroon is pegged to
the German mark at eight krooni to the mark. The pieces above [they run
pictures of 5, 10, 20 and 50 centi, with the obverse having 3 lions and
the date, 1991 and 1992, and the reverse having the denomination
surrounded by Eesti Vabariik] are all made of brass. The 1991 5 senti
is 15.9mm and 1.3 grams. The 1991 10 senti is 17.1mm and 1.85 grams.
The 1992 20 senti is 18.9mm and 2.26 grams and the 1992 50 senti is
19.5mm and 2.91 grams. K[rause] M[ishler] numbers are 21-24,
respectively. Paper money has also been recently released. (Courtesy

[Square brackets mine. The old republic issued KM 1-17, I don't know
what happened to catalog numbers 18-20, or if other denominations have
been issued.]

Happy Collecting!

I feel that you may be applying 'coinage' terms to stamp collecting?

Although I tend to agree with you, I feel that it would be difficult to
change the patterns set up by most auction houses and dealers ie. a mint
stamp does not necessarily mean that it hasn't been hinged.

Perhaps the definition "mint" has been slurred by the shortening of the
conditions of stamps.  MNH (mint non-hinged) and MH (mint hinged) reads
better than UNH (unused non-hinged) or UH (unused hinged).  Let's face it,
it could get a little confusing if you see these terms...FU, U o.g., U, U.

I noticed that Scott's catalogue uses the term 'unused' and doesn't refer to
'mint' in it's introduction!!?

Sorry, but I remain unconvinced of the need to change my sinful ways.

These cards are not so easy to find in Classic Football boxes.  They seem
to occur in about 1 in every 2 boxes or more.  There is no price guide of
these cards that I know of right now.  Seen some of the more high profile
players such as Shaquille O'Neill sell for $70 or more.

I know that O'Neill, Christian Laettner, and Alonzo Mourning are some
of the other promo cards but I forgot the last one.

Anyway, hope that answers your question..:)

Subject: WANTED: Info on Law Enforcement badges

I am interested in old badges.  Any branch of federal, state, county, or
municipal law enforcement badges are of interest. (military also)

Does anyone know of any organization(s)/collector(s) that carry or
specialize in badges.

I am not interested in badges that are actively used.  I only want
out-of-service badges for now. (until I can find out the restrictions)

Thanx in advance-- email to reduce net traffic.

Rob

    	I mentioned this before, but people must have missed it.  I have what I 
think are the hardest to find promos from the Marvel Masterworks series.  They 
were handed out by Skybox at the annual International Non-Sports Convention in 
July.   There are three cards all marked PROTOTYPE on the back and numbered like
the cards series will be (I don't remember the numbers off hand).  The backs are
also what I would expect the final product to look like, they have text about 
each character and a picture of a comic cover which features the character on 
the back of card.  The three cards are Spiderman, Hulk and Wolverine.  I have 
seen the more recent promos which feature these characters and they are 
different from what I have.  I have also seen the Captain America promo at a 
local comic shop.

I just discovered my mom has a baseball she got way back when she was single
and living in NY. It's got all (as near as I can tell) the signatures of
the players on the 1952 Brooklyn Dodgers! I know this is authentic because
she used to work for the NY Giants and had an opportunity to meet a lot of
these guys personally. Can anyone give me a ballpark (excuse the pun) figure
on what this is worth? Also is there a way to treat the ball to keep the 
signatures from fading? Thanks.
