    Mine (as far as I recall) looked exactly like the one picture on the back 
of the card of all the figures.  The number on the one I got was in the 1000 
range.  I have not heard this rumor before, but would wait on paying any price 
higher than $4.99 until it is confirmed (just look at how "rare" the Borg 
figures have turned out to be.  

    By the way, I picked up the Enterprise toy from this set at Toys R' Us 
yesterday.  It costs $29.95, lights and and makes four sounds.  I have seen 
everything at this point but the shuttle.

    I noticed something else when I was at the store.  The phasers and 
communicators now are numbered!  Both of the above toys I own are not.  I don't 
think this is a big deal since the numbering is just a cheap sticker on the 
box which could be pealed off should non-numbered ones become valuable.

Yes, there are a couple of these holograms inserted in these
packs.  They sell for $2-3, not much interest in them.

Well I got one yesterday (the only one there...) and it looks Ok, no better or
worse than the others.  My wife immediately noticed that the "jumpsuit" Troi
was wearing wasn't the typical "off-centered-V-cut" neckline; it was just a
normal V-neck.  Other than that I wouldn't say ANY of the figures looked all
that "lifelike" to worry about details...

More importantly, what do you think?  I think investing (or speculating,
depending on your point of view) and collecting are two different things.  

I "collect" proof Eagles and the proof commemoratives.  

If I were investing, I wouldn't buy Eagles at all and I'd buy the uncirc-
ulated, rather than proof, commemoratives; because, in general, they've
appreciated in value far more than the proof.

I've seen these things and to be honest even $50 is to much...  They

Subject: Hummell Help
Organization: Thomas Jefferson University
Date: Tue, 5 Jan 1993 16:19:18 GMT

My mother-in-law gave us a Hummell over the holidays (an early inheritance)
and the books I looked at do not list the exact markings that we have on the
base. I was hoping someone out there might be able to help if I gave a brief
description. We are looking to see what it's worth. If you can give any help
it would be greatly appreciated. Also, I may want to start collecting them for
my wife (Birthday, anniversary, etc.) so if you have a good idea as to where
to get Hummell's at a reasonable price that would be of help also. The one
we have is the following:
 
#10 Flower Madonna
Color: White overglaze
Height: 8 1/4"
The halo is flat (no doughnut hole)
Base Marking's: 10/I in white (actually inscribed)
                The trademark I believe is 2c - small bee completely inside
                the V. There is also a "." after the V and I can't find this
                in either of the 2 books I got from the library. The bee and
                V are in light blue.
                "Western Germany" in black is also on the base.
 
Any help as to the rarity and worth of this figure would be greatly appreciated
You can e-mail me directly at the address below. Thanks.

It depends upon a number of factors.  First, condition: is it folded or rolled
and does it have any tears or pin holes.  Second, which poster is it.  There
were 4 different posters released for the original Star Wars movie.  If you
could be a little more specific, I could perhaps give you a range.

I believe that rec.collecting.cards if for cards collectors.  Certainly
you should put non-card sports collecting stuff in rec.collecting .  But
put "SPORTS:" in the header to alert those interested in sports stuff,
and to allow those disinterested to automatically ignore it by having
SPORTS in their kill file.

Don't buy into that bunk!  The Troi figure is packaged 2 per case, now.  I
bought a couple a few days ago, numbered in the 18,000 range.  They look no
different than the picture on the back.  Don't listen to those who told you
that they were that rare.  Remember what was said about the Catwoman figure.
Supposedly, Kenner didn't have the license to produce Catwoman,
so they[Kenner & Toy Stores] had to pull all the Catwoman toys.  Dealers,
who were touting this story, adjusted their prices accordingly.  I remember
seeing some as high as $45.  Unbelievable!  Well, the whole story was just
an unfounded rumor, much like the Talking Venom figure being pulled;  No
truth to either story.   I doubt that Maria Sirtis was consulted when the
toy was being sculpted and produced.  And even if she was, I doubt that she
would have any say about what was to be shipped or not shipped.

lot of them then a few, but I'll consider any offers.

Yeah, you send it into Topps and get Black Gold Cards for it.  There
is, I believe, one higher tier of winner there.  If you look on the
Topps rappers, it will give you the odds on certain things.

It is worth what one will pay or if you collect, it is worth the
11 Black Gold cards that you will receive.
