I have another good-press story about Hot Shots.  I bought 5 boxes of the
first batch which were poorly collated.  I could not complete my first set.
I went to the address found on the wrapper, and they let me trade card-for-card
until I had only 8 left (they didn't have those in their trade box).

I went back a couple weeks later, but they were no longer allowing individuals
to trade (the person there said she got in trouble for letting me do that).
She did take my want list and promised to send them to me.

Last Friday, I received in the mail a full box and a promo hologram.  The
collation was better, but it did not complete my set.  I've traded locally
to complete my set, but now I have 5 boxes of duplicates.  I will be able
to trade in a couple weeks.

Their letter confirmed what Terry said above.  Overall, I rate them fairly
responsive in dealing with the poor-collation problem.  They also indicated
their will be more than 1 hologram; the first, which they enclosed for my
inconvenience, is very striking and of high quality.

Hi there! It's time for a little infor for all of you out there waiting for
information on this years Hockey Card lines.

Let's start with Score:

Score is making the same basic card as they made last year. To describe the
card, the front has the same basic front as last years model. The photo is 
enclosed by a border. The border is similar to that found on the 91 Young
Superstars set. It is a faded white, with the occasional stripe to signify
the ice surface.
The logo of the team is signified on the top right corner (actually it is the
team name in the appropriate color), and the Score logo is situated in the
bottom left corner. The players name is written along the bottom of the
card.
As for inserts, at this point I am not sure (My buddy threw out the order form
and the brochure). I do know there is the requisite Score Lindros card.
This special card has Lindros pictured at the news conference putting on his
new Flyers jersey (ouch! for all us Ranger fans).
The card back is the same as last years model. picture on one half, and stats
on the other. The card stock is very similar to last years (in fact I think
it is the same type of stock).

Overall, it is Score with a little cosmetic surgery. Again, nothing special
but good for collecting.

Organization: Texas A&M University
Date: Fri, 28 Aug 1992 03:48:06 GMT

Back in the late  '50's  and  most  of  the  '60's  my  father  collected
autographs.  He would find a post card that had something to  do  with  a
celebrity,   then find a stamp that also had something  to  do  with  the
person. He would write a letter asking the person for  an  autograph. The
person sometimes sent the card back in an envelope, sometimes he  or  she
would mail the post card, thus giving it a post mark and a date.
 
My father died. The collection sat. It is now 1992 and my  mother  is  in
need of money. So the question is:
   How do you sell a one-of-a-kind item like this?
 
I mean, stamp conventions I have heard of. I have not heard of  autograph
collection conventions.
 
The celebrities are in widely diverse areas.  In  sports  he  had  gotten
people like Ty Cobb and Yoge Berra and Roger Maris.  In politics  he  had
people like Lyndon Johnson and Everett Dirkson. In military, he had  Omar
Bradley and Curtis LeMay. He made a big effort on performers with  people
like Marilyn Monroe and Burl Ives.
 
I looked at the prices offered in one autograph catalogue and they seemed
real low. Which brings me to my second question:
   How do I know what a fair price is?
 
Any help would be appreciated.

Well, my collection is much smaller. I have most of the Star Trek:
The Next Generation action figures and an action figure of Captain
Power. From ST:TNG, I have Geordie, Riker, Picard, Worf, Data
and Yar. I have both opened as well as unopened packages of each of 
them. I am still looking for the other 3 action figures from Captain
Power. I know that these action figures are no longer made but I had
found the Captain Power action figure at Toys R Us in their discount
section. Sometimes I wonder what other things these toy stores have
back there in their stockroom that is no longer made since I'm always
finding toys that manufacturers stopped making quite a while ago show 
up in their discount section. :)

For those who are interested, the going rate in the Cleveland area for 
complete sets (1-300 & 301-600) of Fleer Ultra Baseball sets is $20-25 per 
set (i.e., $40-50 for 1-600).  This seems to be much lower than the prices 
people are trying to sell them for on the net.

  I have returned to collecting US plate blocks. I have a good bit of older
  blocks and am catching up a little. As far as new plate blocks go, I am
  purchasing them at the philatelic window at the local post office. However,
  I have to purchase a strip of 20 to get the plate block. My question/
  proposition is this: Does anyone out there collect "Zip blocks" or other
  parts of the strip of 20 that would want to trade "block" for "block".
  I don't mail enough to make use of the other 16 stamps and don't want
  to sell discount postage if I don't have to. If anyone's interested
  you can contact me at the E-MAIL addresses below. Thanks!!

I don't know if this is the proper place to ask, but I have a watch with a
picture of spiro on it. It has a red, white, and blue wristband. It seems to
be in good condition and I'm just wondering what it's worth.
Thanks
