Hi,
   My cousin and I have sorted all of our older hockey and baseball doubles
by team and now we are looking to get rid of the doubles for other cards.
We have baseball from 1975 Topps, 1977 Topps, 1978 Topps, 1979 Topps, and
1980 Topps mostly.  In hockey, most of the cards are 77-78 Topps, 78-79
Topps, and 79-80 Topps.  We have stars and commons from both sports.  If
you have specific requests for players, we will check for them or if you
just want commons we can handle that also.  You can also specify a year you
would like.  Some things we are looking for:

Baseball: Tom Glavine, Ken Griffey Jr, and Nolan Ryan cards- also Boston
Red Sox cards and Montreal Expos cards from the past few years.

Football: Philadelphia Eagles, SF 49'ers, and any Florida State players
who were drafted last year (ie- Amp Lee, Casey Weldon, Edgar Bennett, and
Terrell Buckley)

Hockey: Boston Bruins and Quebec Nordiques cards.

I am also looking for minor league cards of Jason Bere, a pitcher in the
White Sox farm system.  This year he has played with Sarasota and Birmingham
and may have cards in either/both sets...

Thanks,
Dana

Several months ago, a coin trivia test sparked some interest, so
I thought I'd post a stamp quiz and see what happened. I've used
these questions at our local stamp club during our annual trivia contest.
I'll post the answers in about two weeks - if there is enough interest,
I can post further trivia questions. Enjoy!

STAMP TRIVIA QUIZ #1

1) Name the four movies commemorated by the U.S. Classic films issue.

2) Name three East African countries that have used overprinted Indian stamps.

3) Differentiate between the terms "counterfeit" and "forgery" as they 
apply to philately.

4) The 1974 U.S. Christmas self-adhesive pictured a weather-vane.
Where is the real weather-vane found?

5) What is unique about all the definitive stamps of the Leeward Islands?

6) Name four German colonies in Africa that issued stamps.

7) Stamps inscribed "Azad Hind" were printed but never used for what country?

8) In what year will London host its next international stamp show?

9) Where would you use stamps overprinted "AMG-FTT"?

10) What does the prefix "B" indicate in a Scott catalog number?

Hi, everyone.

	I'm relatively new to the collecting craze, so my apologies if this
is a Frequently Asked Question to this group:

	What are fair prices for the standard off-the-shelf packs of the
different brands of baseball cards?  I've seen Fleer Ultra II's going for
either $2.50 or $2.75 a pack, but it seems clear that there must be some
cheaper way to buy cards (other than in full sets at a time) in order
to collect them and eventually get whole sets with some extras.  Where
do you folks typically buy your cards?

	I've also recently seen packs of this year's Donruss cards (14
per pack and a puzzle piece) going for 20 cents a pack.  Is this the
steal that I think it is, or are Donruss really so trashy?

	What are fair prices for Leaf, Fleer, etc. (the other brands)
both for complete sets and for individual packs, in your opinion?  I'm
most interested in collecting the Ultras, simply because those are by
far the most attractive cards I've seen.

I remember seeing trapezoidal stamps from Malta.
India has also issued diamond shaped stamps in the past.
I can't recall the last time that the USA issued such a stamp.

Do y'all have any to offer?

Well, last Deecmber, just about the time all the *.edu people (myself
included) went home for Christmas break, a vote was held to split the
group.  Due to the fact that a large portion of the readership of this
group (or of Usenet in general) was away and never heard about the vote
until it was too late, the vote (which requires 100 more YESes than NOs,
and at least a 2/3 majority) failed, missing the 100-vote criterion by
only a few votes.  The rules for creating a group require a six-month
wait after a failed vote before a new vote can take place.  Since
six months after December takes us to June (another month when the *.edu
population is small), it was proposed that the vote wait until mid to
late September, when most people are returning to classes.  We
could start the discussion now; specifically, do we want just one
group rec.collecting.cards, or perhaps two or more groups, like
rec.collecting.cards.sport and r.c.c.misc?  Maybe a separate
group rec.collecting.cards.market for those auctions/sales?
Let's hear it, everybody.

BTW, I'm going away for about a week, and won't have net access,
so I won't be able to hear anything about it until then.  If you send
me mail, don't expect a speedy response!!

ObCollecting:  I'm collecting ASCII owls.  Someone in Owlnet's administration
put an ASCII owl in the Message of the Day, and since then it's been the
second-most discussed topic on the local newsgroups (second to the new parking
plan on campus).  I turned the owl upside down for my .sig, and a number of
people have come up with other owls they thought looked better than
the one in the MOTD.  Send me your ASCII owl pictures!!

I think the main reason why we didn't cancel the order was that we were 
getting it cheaper than many dealers in town.  About $50 per case cheaper.
For this reason we put up with the bullsh*t.
