Likewise, I have been asked to find a forum. My wife collects
Madame Alexander, Barbie, and some others. She said that one
of her doll magazines mentioned a group on AOL (or maybe it was
Compu$erve, I've forgotten).

I would like to get Informationen about Barbie, too. 

I collect these only occasionally and would be interested about anything, e.g. worth of old and new Barbie-Dolls.
Can anyone eventually post a catalog or something like this.
Which is your criterion to choose the dolls, what must I consider.

Any informations would be appreciate.

Thanks,

**This discussion is going a bit off this newsgroup, but...

I guess I'm one of the younger generation, but I think I know what
music is supposed to be about.  I had a roommate who had an Elvis CD, so
not knowing alot about Elvis I decided to check out the liner notes and such. 
And I noticed that out of 15+ songs, Elvis helped in writing TWO of them. 
Hardly an accomplishment for a king.  A KING of r'n r would be able to write 
his own material not just swing his hips and make the girls scream.  Performers 
are a dime-a-dozen. That's like thinking Madonna will be known for her "music".
Elvis may have been quite a performer, but a musician he is not, king is an
insult to the term.

I won't bother getting into what kind of music I think is worthwhile,  that
kind of stuff is subjective anyway, but I think I made my point.

21 years ago (I was 10) I found an 1826 large cent while waiting for the
school bus.  I just kicked up a pile of leaves and there it was..in the
woods in Rhode Island.  It was remarkably sharp in it's detail, Extra Fine
condition except that its color was black I assum from being outside and
under the leaves so many many years.  

I have two questions, does anyone know the value of this today?  I found
a Coin World magazine at the library but it only listed the value of a coin
up to VF condition (at least for these early lg cents).  Second, I 
decided back then to *not* put the coin through some kind of cleaning.
At the time the wisdom was that that would do more harm to the coin than
improve its value.  Is this the generally held view today?

A friend recently sent me a bunch of stamps to look through, and amoung them
was a California revenue stamp, which I know nothing about.  Any information
(including a rough idea of rarity and value) would be greatly appreciated.

The stamp is definative size, and generally resembles the low values of the
US revenue issue of 1862-71 (the first one).  It is printed in dark purple ink,
with a "banner" along each side and a "1" in a circle at each corner.  The
banners read:

top: "California"
bottom: "State Revenue"
left: "One"
right: "Dollar"

In the center of the stamp is the word "One" over "$".  The stamp appears to
be cancelled with a circular cancel, but the cancel is faint and no details
can be made out.

  For all those who are interested in collecting paper
money, there are a number of organizations for
collecting paper money, as well as paper money dealers,
mail auctions, newspapers, etc.  I'll list the two
main (I believe non-profit) organizations here for
anyone who is interested.

  International Bank Note Society, IBNS

	For information, contact:

	General Secretary
	P.O. Box 1642
	Racine, Wisconsin  53401
	USA
	(414) 554-6255

	or

	Assistant General Secretary
	36 B, Dartmouth Park Hill
	London
	NW5 1HN
	U.K.
	071 281 0839

	depending on where you are on Earth.

	This is a large worldwide organization which
	has about 6000 members.  They hold regular
	auctions, issue journals, and have a very
	extensive and mail-usable library of perhaps
	1000 books on paper money.  A good place to
	find others interested in the hobby.

  Society of Paper Money Collectors

	Ron Hostman
	P.O. Box 2999
	Leslia, MO  63056

	This "oldest and largest" paper money
	organization concentrates on US and
	Confederate paper money (much of it
	very expensive).

  I'll also throw in a contact for the monthly newpaper,
Bank Note Reporter.  700 E. State St., Iola Wi 54990.
It is mostly about US paper money, but with a significant
world paper money section and has contacts for many
dealers.  A good way to find out new notes being
issued around the world, including new countries
such as Slovenia, Macedonia, etc.

I'm thinking about getting a hingeless stamp album for my US collection
and I would really be interested in the opinions of anyone who has already
bought an album like this. I'm most interested in the Lighthouse and the
Scott Platinum albums. Both of these are very pricey and my local dealers
don't stock any US hingless albums so I'd like so info before making a final
decision.

I'm interested in the quality of the album itself (pages, mounts, binder, etc.),
the presentation of the material (do coils and 20th century imperfs have places
for singles or pairs, how are se-tenant (sp?) issues displayed - as blocks or 
singles), the completeness of the album (varieties, back-of-the-book issues),
and overall value/satisfaction/etc.

Also, if you have another brand of hingless album that you really like, please
feel free to put in a plug for that one and tell me why you like it best.

             I have the Drum set from London but... Sorry, I'm not getting
             rid of mine.  It was a present from my sister.  She lives in 
             London.  Next time I speak with her I'll ask about another.
