Actually, I do what Dr. Beckett suggests every year around Christmas...
I send them to children's hospitals and large city hospitals with
children's wings...

a common to us may or may not be a common to them.  True, most kids
lately that are into cards seem to be getting snobby about "book value"
and such (and less into collecting just to collect), but heck, they
are free.

I also trade heavily here on Usenet, and quite successfully, I might
add.

I give them to nieces and nephews.  I have too many of those too.

I burn some to start fires in the fireplace.  Sounds kinda sacreligious,
doesn't it?

A surprising question, considering the situation.  Think about it.  Why are the
cards on sale in the first place?  Because the supply is significantly greater
than the demand, which means they won't sell at higher prices.  Why can't you
sell them at a profit?  Same reason the store can't.  There are exceptions, but
essentially, supply and demand take precedence over book value.  Want some
examples:  Try to sell a Bo Jackson card at low book, or buy a Gary Sheffield
card at high book.

The trick is to find something that might catch on, or has regional
popularity elsewhere.  You might have some sleepers there, so good luck.

Also, some older cards are traded/sold over the net, but consider the price
range between older cards and newer cards..  older cards simply cost more
and traders are probably more reluctant to sell them over the net.. not
necessarily because of price ( i have bought stereo equipment and other
items over the net) but also because of shipping (and card damamge
possibly).  also, it just might be a matter of people not wanting to sell
their older cards and instead look to this group for filling sets up (which
is a HELLUVA lot easier here than anywhere else because it is a 2-way
street.)

i think the answer to your question is most likely the third.. not many
people want to sell their older cards (or more rare cards)

I recently purchased a set of NET PRO TOUR STARS tennis cards
the copyright was (c) 1991 Protennis Player Cards Inc.

I have a couple of questions:

  Question 1:  There were only 98 cards in the set I picked up.  This
               strikes me as an odd number for a set of cards.  I this
               the actual number of cards in the set or was I shorted?

  Question 2:  I noticed a large number of "big name" stars were not
               in the cards.  IE:  Gabby, Jennifer Capriati, Lendl
               anybody know why?

  Question 3:  Are there any other tennis card sets?

If anyone could help me out with the answers to these questions I would
be most appreciative.  E-Mail me at rutled@bnr.ca

Thanks,
Phil

Could this be the Donruss "Baseball's Best", which is about a 360 card
set that contains K. Griffey Jr, etc...?  It would be a green card, with
a pretty plain back.  It's not worth much than what you paid for it.  They
are nice cards, but not too popular.  Other than this set, I don't know what
you might have.

     SKYBOX ANNOUNCES "DOOMSDAY*: THE DEATH OF SUPERMAN*"
                        TRADING CARDS
 
 
     SkyBox International announced production of "Doomsday*: the Death of
Superman*" trading cards, the only card set licensed by DC Comics that
documents the death of The Man of Steel*.
 
     The card set will be released November 17, 1992, to coincide with the
release of Superman* #75, the issue in which Superman* dies.  A special
promotional Doomsday* card will be polybagged in Superman* #75.
 
     The 100 card set features editorial copy and spectacular illustrations
from the Doomsday* comic series which document the events leading up to and
including the death of Superman*.  A special 9 card subset, Funeral for a
Friend, will feature artwork that will appear on future covers of Superman*
and related comics in 1993 and will address the aftermath of the death of
Superman*.
 
     For the first time, SkyBox will use two different technologies to produce
five bonus cards for the set.  Four Spectra cards featuring original art
created by DC artists exclusively for this card line and two foil-stamped
cards will be randomly packed in a limited number of packs. Suggested retail
price of eight-card packs is $.99.
 
     Production of "Doomsday*: The Death of Superman*" trading cards will be
limited to 8,000 individually numbered cases of ten display boxes each.

There are no plans to rerelease the original 12" figures (the 1964
series) but there will be further 12" figures based on figures of the
1982-present action figure line.

As for finding older Joes, check your local comic shop and find toy or
action figure magazines such as Tomart's Action Figure Digest or Action
Figure News and Review, there are others that escape my memory at the
moment.  There you will find many ads regarding buying and selling of
old Joes.

I'm looking for Seattle Pilots cards from the 1970 Topps baseball set,
especially the team card (#713).  If anyone has any to sell/trade or
knows a local dealer that has any, I would be interested in hearing
from you.

Thanks,
Scott Miller
