I am looking to trade/purchase a VERY nice (near mint to mint) 61 Fleer
Lenny Wilkins card (#44).  I could possibly be interested in a few other
cards in the set as well if the quality is top notch.  Please let me
know if you have such a thing.  A list (partial) of the interesting

I have seen Japanese mini-sheets used postally.  Whether US souvenir sheets
are postally valid seems to depend on the knowledge of the postal clerk (see
a Letter to the Editor in an APS Journal of several years back).  Rejecting
all mini-sheets because some countries issue unuseable ones is a simple rule
of thumb but also can result in missing some gems that are postally useable.
I started collecting postage dues stamps because I thought it highly unlikely
that any were issued solely for collectors, but discovered a couple of weeks
ago that Cambodia issued 2 PD souvenir sheets.

IMO CTO are good for filler but I'd always replace a CTO with a mint or used
if given the chance.

I have a set of souvenir cards from the 1st ALL STAR game.  They are
team photographs and measure about 5"x8".  One has Lou Gehrig and
Babe Ruth standing side by side.  The reverse has names of all the
players but no date anywhere.

I've been unable to find this in any card books.  Anyone have any info?
Value?

Condition is very good.  They do have pin holes at top center.

folks do collect beer bottles, but there are a number of drawbacks which
make it less popular than collecting cans.  I guess weight is somewhat of
a factor but not the biggest one.  for many years, beer bottles were pretty
much the same (12 oz. long neck) and only the labels distinguished them
(in a way, it makes more sense just to soak off the labels and collect
*them*.  Also, the caps are gone (unless you find a full bottle) and the
caps were often the prettiest part of the bottle.  I've known a couple of
folks who collected really *old* beer bottles only (these were usually
embossed bottles with no paper labels and the glass was often in varying
colors).  Also, of course, drop a can and you might get a ding, but drop a
bottle and you have nothing...

Organization: Jeff's House of Electronic Parts

I'm not a serious collector, but I've had difficulties
with the philatelic service.

1) There was a clock with a sheet of animal stamps.
It was it in the displays in the main post office (8th Ave, Manhattan).
But when I went to the window, none were available and it was NOT
available via the mail order catalogue.

2) the teeney post office at Esopus, NY is a one person shop.
She carried cloissone pins of stamps, including the 4 sea
creatures stamps.  I moved away and I just can't get them.
It's not in the catalogue and none of the post offices in Manhattan
or New Jersey have it.
(I'm not talking about the laminated stamp pins.
Cloissone pins are enamel and metal).

This sounds quite disorganized, no?
Some items are NOT available from the catalogue and are available
at the window only if the postmaster thinks of ordering things
in anticipation of your interests.

I'm disappointed that the post offices carry only the boring post cards.
I like the commemorative post cards, but I have to pay additional
postage when ordering from the philatelic catalogue.
It seems a bit odd to pay postage to buy stamps.

Just want to add some information to the listing for the BIA...

The Bureau Issues Association is a non-profit organization devoted to
the study of all stamps issued for use in the United States and its
possessions.. Incorporated in 1930 as the successor to the PPNA which
was founded in 1926 to study plate numbers...The BIA publishes a journal,
The U.S. Specialist.. The society holds an annual membership meeting at
one of the major stamp shows in the country and currently has a membership
of about 2400 worldwide.. The society also has various study groups
which specializes in specific issues (i.e. Presidentials,..etc) which is
open to any member or for which specific questions may be addressed..

The BIA also is the publisher of many reference works on U.S. stamps; one
of which is the Durland Plate Number Catalog, the reference for plate
book collectors. Membership also provides a discount for purchase of
any society books and allows for two free advertisements in the monthly
journal...

A sample copy of the society journal is available from the Executive
Secretary for $2.00, postpaid at the above address..

    So, you think you have all of the promo cards for the upcoming Marvel
Masterworks card series?  Guess again!  I have for auction three PROTOTYPE
cards for that series.  These cards were given out by Skybox at the
International Non-Sports Card show this year.  The three cards are Hulk,
Spiderman and Wolverine.  They differ from the normal promos in that their
backs are as they should appear in the final product.  Each card is numbered,
has text information about the character and has a photo of the cover of the
comic in which the character first appeared.  Also, the word PROTOTYPE is
printed in light blue across the back of the card.  These are by far the
hardest of the promo cards from this series to come by.  I will auction them
as a set and set the minimum bid at $20.  I will  post the highest bid  I
receive after 48 hours.  If that bid is not topped within 48 hours the cards
will be declared sold.  If you have any questions feel free to email me.  Good
Luck!
