It's the only decent show near here and I needed a cardboard fix. Spent a good amount of time at a 3/$1 box, picking up Hostess cards on my list. Just for kicks, I bought a bunch of Burger King Yankees. (I should post those lists soon). Also grabbed a small run of 1973 highs (about 50 different) and got about 2 dozen blue checklists (all but one marked). Stopped at Kevin Savage's table and chatted a bit, then found Greg Fisher and chatted quite a while. Haven't seen him in a very long time, but I'm glad to say his health issues are behind him hopefully. We have a lot in common and had some catching up to do. He might not attend next year's National and hinted at getting out of the hobby all together. I hope that doesn't happen, as Greg is one of the nicest dealers you'll ever meet. He wasn't having all that good of a show, but I helped him out some and picked up a 63 Fleer FB Kemp variation on my list and a Maris RC for my second set. I got that list down to just the #320 Ford before I Met up with Bob Donaldson right after I got there. Later Sean and Spike showed up and we all met around 1 for some lunch and to catch up. Stopped at another table to find some 54 Bowman FB, then a supply table for 8-pocket pages to put the set in. The final purchase of the day was a shoebox from Kevin Savage with mostly Kellogg's cards in it. I found exactly ONE variation on my list and a few upgrades. I also discovered that (I think) every card in the 1979 Kellogg's set has a variation with the copyright (either IN Tony's bandana or below it). Also just found a couple cards missing trademarks near the team logos, so that set just moved way up on the "things to drive me insane" list. Left before the show was over, but people were scarce already. Since yesterday was Halloween and tomorrow people will be getting ready to watch the Pats/Broncos game, it doesn't look like the show will be all that well attended - a buyer's paradise. Too bad I won't be able to make it back tomorrow to take advantage of any bargains. I did do some damage to my list and will be adding a few more sets soon from that shoebox (somewhat obscure, but inexpensive sets). Thanks for reading.

I ran into Sean first in the traditional way, by nearly bumping heads over a big box of 3 for $1 cards. We spent 20 minutes at the table and he knocked several hits off 1971 Topps football, while I found a half-dozen 1977 TCMA Renata Galasso, as well as some never-opened packs of 1979 Burger King Phillies. As one walks the many aisles of vintage and UV stuff, you can't miss the show's growing roster of autograph guests, because a PA speaker breaks in every few minutes to let you know the "ticket holders under #20 can line up for Tom Glavine"...or Kevin Foulke or Dave Magadan, or... etc. This growing need for autograph tables encroaches on what used to be ample lunch seating, so it took some work to find chairs and table space together around noon, so we could talk through the morning's acquisitions and eat some food. I hit Sean's list with a few 1933 Goudeys and Ken talked through a stack of 1973 Blue Team Checklists, a set that's small but packed with variations. Bob signed a second of his OBC cards for me, giving me both ballpoint and Sharpie versions. Here's my haul for the day, highlighted by a 1973 Topps "1953 Reprints" #5 Hal Newhouser for the type collection and what seems to be a 1916 D381 Fleichmann Bakery card of Dan Murphy, scavenged for $5 from a catch-all box of pre-war sets and programs. https://www.dropbox.com/s/biikdeeyizo4mba/2014-11-02%2000.45.30.jpg?dl=0 Glad I braved the rain to reach Wilmington and great to see everyone at the ================= To: wwesmyster2@aol.com, OBC-Ramblings@yahoogroups.com Date: Sun, 2 Nov 2014 07:11:28 -0500 Subject: Re: [OBC-Ramblings] Strongsville From: mikesportsfan@aol.com Strongsville location has different promoters from my understanding.

From: "George Vrechek" My take is that 5% equals poor and trimmed cards are at the low end of poor. There are no stars in the lot, which I'm guessing the seller is listing separately (or has already listed.) Not everyone embraces trimmed cards and I would expect them to sell for only $1 or $2 in a lot for commons. I bought a half-dozen Topps 1951 Ringside trimmed cards. The seller wanted $5 each. I think I paid $1.25 each, but then immediately began looking for replacements so it was like I never crossed them off my list. I might be more inclined to pay 5% for stars and leave them at that rather than replacing them, but I think you can find poor commons that are intact at around the same price that seller wants for these.

I find that EBay provides useful information when you click on "Sold Listings" for a particular card. You usually can see what the card has sold for as well as "outliers"; i.e., cards sold for a dollar or two when most paid much more. I attribute these to auctions which ended at an unusual hour or were otherwise off the radar screen, attracting few bidders. For example, I just up a 1955 Clem Labine in excellent condition for $0.99. There were no other bidders. BR, In a message dated 11/02/2014 2:37:14 P.M.

For those of you who are new, or have bad memories, the holiday exchange is when participants are randomly assigned the name of another participant to buy and mail a gift to the person they have been assigned to. On December 25th - Christmas for some, the day after Hanukkah, the winter solstice or Yule for pagans (not sure if we have any pagans) or just a fun day to get a gift. Rules (the fine print) 1. Gifts should be in the $10 range. The best gifts are not usually the most expensive. Try to get creative. 2. Envelopes should be clearly marked "do not open to Dec 25" or "Do not open till Xmas". 3. Open your present on the morning of the 25th 4. Report your present and who gave it to you on the ramblings server ASAP. How it works. 1.

For those of you who are new, or have bad memories, the holiday exchange is when participants are randomly assigned the name of another participant to buy and mail a gift to the person they have been assigned to. On December 25th - Christmas for some, the day after Hanukkah, the winter solstice or Yule for pagans (not sure if we have any pagans) or just a fun day to get a gift. Rules (the fine print) 1. Gifts should be in the $10 range. The best gifts are not usually the most expensive. Try to get creative. 2. Envelopes should be clearly marked "do not open to Dec 25" or "Do not open till Xmas". 3. Open your present on the morning of the 25th 4. Report your present and who gave it to you on the ramblings server How it works. 1.

There was a nice crowd (for postcard shows =96 like about 60 people) and many of the same Mid-West dealers I had seen at past postcard shows. The pricing of sports-related cards seems to be all over the map at postcard shows with most stuff overpriced in my opinion, but a few things a real PC dealers may not know what they have. Stars and commons all run the same. Reprints are treated like great stuff, I guess. I passed on team-issued Dodgers postcards at $10 each, collector-issued postcards at $5 along with reprinted exhibit cards at $5, and one lousy T218 at $35. I found one guy with a box of baseball postcards that he had priced at probably $5,000 that wasn=92t worth $20 to me. But in a pile of reprinted exhibits at $2 each, I found one legitimate exhibit of Enos Slaughter which I purchased. I found a 1944-5 Albertype HOF card of Ruth which is priced at $65 in the SCD guide for $2 as well. I found a 1920s exhibit of Jack Dempsey with a mail-in-offer back that was only $7. The best deal though was an 18-card set of the 1954-6 Spic and Span Braves postcards for $65. The SCD guide has the set at $675 in excellent. I also bought a few old postcards of Chicago attractions for 50 cents each. I read one postcard back. The sender=92s entire message in 1910 was, =93I told youI would send you something, and here it is.=94 I met a fellow sports card collector, I guess we stick out like sore thumbs. I spent 2 =BD hours at the show and $100, which was more than I expected, but I was delighted with adding 18 baseball cards to my vintage baseball set George Vrechek ================= To: robertfitts@verizon.net, larrytipton@windstream.net Date: Sat, 8 Nov 2014 08:03:39 -0500 Subject: Re: [OBC-Ramblings] OBC Certified Dealers From: mikesportsfan@aol.com Greg Fisher is set up at the Toronto show this weekend. I had a great longtalk with him last nite. Comically, we got into a political discussion and were amazed we are almost polar opposites on the political spectrum. I believe our nicknames for each other are now, "Socialist" and "Fascist". Greg does plan on setting up at more shows in the future. He also will pull cards from wantlists that are sent to him. The down side is if he pulls cards, he expects them to be purchased, not as much on approval. Things havestarted to trun around for him.

Willie lived in Wilmington for several years before he died of Kidney problems. Every year his foundation sponsors a golf tournament and autograph session. We had lots of guys signing for free today from 9-10 at the local Dick's Sporting Goods store. Guys like Kevin Young, Tony Womack, Vida Blue, Sonny Jackson, Brian Jordan, Manny Sanguilen, Al Oliver, Greg Vaughn, John Candelaria, Eddie Murray and a few others. As you would expect Eddie Murray was a 1/per person. I got mine and circled back around to the back of the line to try again. The guy in front of me was waiting to get a ball signed by Murray. When the guy in front of me got there, Murray stood up and said "I will be right back". We stood there and watched him walk right out the front door. Can you believe that behavior? Why didn't he just say that we are done. Some of the other guys were very nice and waited to sign multiples for everyone by Murray, Blue and Candelaria couldn't get out fast enough. It is interesting to see how some people are happy to sign and others are jerks. Makes me want to be rude and say "thanks for signing, I can retire now". Do these guys think autograph collectors get rich off of signing two cards? Oh well, wanted to ramble and tell people about the session and how rude Eddie Murray was to the guy in front of me.

REPLY DIRECTLY TO THIS EMAIL (please do not send a new message as itmay miss my email filter), put with your name in the message, that will make it easier to track things. Or send an email to me with " OBC XMas Exchange 2014" in the subject. Please include your name just to make sure I don't mix up your email address. Please make sure OBC XMas Exchange 2014 is in the subject line! That makes it easy to track. 2. Wait a few days for a message from me telling you who your victim is based on a patented semi-randomization technique, 3. Buy something nice, wrap it, mark it "do not open" till the 25th, andsend it out. NOTE: We are running a little late this year so hurry up and respond. I will try to get assignments out ASAP Merry Christmas!

There would be an extra delay, but may save on all those extra Canadian charges.

NM $1600 I paid $43 plus $20 shipping from Saint-Eustache, Quebec, Canada. Total is a little less than 4% book. I've been buying quite a few Topps hockey cards from Canada via ebay, and you really have to be aware of the shipping charges. Sometimes sellers have to add extra charges if the hammer price goes above $100 too. $20 for a single card was super high, but it was clearly marked in the auction and I bidaccordingly. But I bet it chased off a few bidders. ================= To: "OBC-Ramblings@yahoogroups.com" Date: Tue, 11 Nov 2014 11:30:57 -0500 Subject: Rochester NY area vintage card shops From: richard dingman Anyone know of any??

From: cardclctor@aol.com Hi gang, Only eight lots remain open on eBay and only one doesn't have any bids on it (does anyone still own a VCR?) Between the in-house portion and the total from eBay, we've raised close to (if not more than) $3000!! Bob would be able to tell you the exact amount, as I'm only going by what I know about. (People may have added money to the kitty without my knowledge - and that's perfectly fine). Here's what's left (with approximate high bids) if you're still interested in donating to the auction - or you can just paypal _treasurer@oldbaseball.com_ (mailto:treasurer@oldbaseball.com) Thanks to everyone who's helped make this a huge success! Last lot closes Tuesday night. I've made up packages for everyone who has won a lot on eBay. I will get them in the mail on Saturday. I was able to add a couple bonus cards to everyone's winnings, which is the reason for the shipping delay ;-) TAYL, Ken M

So I though I would post a ramble. 1. OBCs =93Dealer Scum=94 server still in the try out phase there are 56 OBC members signed up. Ive not sold or bought anything yet. There are a few changes I would like to see: Currently the rules state that no Random Acts Of Kindness (RAOK) be sold, and this has generated some interesting discussion and thoughts among us OBCAC members. I think OBC =93trades=94 via RAOK. When I send out a RAOK the card is yours to do with as you please, I traded it to you it=92s yours. AndI see how OBC members can change collecting interests over the years and might want to sell some items. I don=92t keep records of who sent me what and I have no idea which cards were RAOK that reside in my collection but I know it=92s a ton. These cards are MINE MINE MINE lol. Anyway I want to remove all references to not allowing sales of RAOK. I also want to put it in the rules that the seller is responsible for any items lost in the mail. I also want our OBC Certified Dealers to have access to the Dealer Scum server, of course we will have to change the name:) Can you imagine if Kurt Turdot started posting OBC Specials WOW how great would that be! The OBCAC isclose to voting in our new OBC Certified Dealers and removing others thanks to member feedback. I think it would be a great step forward for OBC and also a great benefit to our Certified Dealers. Ebay is SO positive for us buyers but seems to me to not be worth the hassle if you are a seller! All buyers have to do is claim the item didn=92t getthere and boom instant refund. Great for us buyers. But more and more sellers are moving away from ebay. I have been participating more in the many on-line auctions but it seems to me that auctions are better for sellers than buyers! I might be wrong but I think sellers get the full =93hammer=94 price, and buyers get stuck with buyers fees? I=92ve bought some cards via auctions but usually don=92t get great deals. Great deals happen at the National Convention. Also I=92m =93hooked up=94 with a few sellers now that email me directly when they have T206 and T205 cards available I get deals there, and buying on the Net54 boards is a good place to shop too. I am SO into these pre-war cards now especially T205 (which I am collectingslabbed and graded SGC oh the shame!) and T206. For me it all really started two years ago when I was in California for my #40 high school reunion and I got a chance to visit with Josh Levine and see his T205 collection WOWZER! And also last year when I was in Colorado and had a chance to see Genosslabbed T205s and how good they looked in those holders. T205 I have 140 different cards or about 67% of the set. 121 of the 140 cards are slabbed and I=92ll have to mail off a package to SGC soon for grading. Most are graded A authentic or 10 poor. T206 I bought a reprint set and put it in plastic pages. When I get a real T206 I remove the reprint. I am having SO much fun with these little gems, and still learning about all the different backs and stuff. I=92m not kidding I pull out this binder look at the cards with a magnifying glass research study learn OMG it=92s like a HOBBY! T206 I am just over 65% complete with 343 different original cards. I am looking forward to finishing off some of my 50s and 60s football baseball basketball hockey and 60s 70s non-sports sets so I can concentrate moreon pre war. I still have fun with my cards! One last thing I wanted to say to the OBC membership I see guys starting a new Topps set maybe not knowing which one to start? Here is my advice STARTALL OF THEM! You know, concentrate on one or two key sets, but chip away at the others. I can remember twenty years ago doing the same thing! I addedall the Bowman baseball sets too, and now I=92m just 32 cards away from a full Bowman run and the Topps run is complete? It=92s AMAZING OBC IS AMAZING! Ive been retired almost four years now, so I have extra time to play with my cards its a BLAST! What do you do all day Guru now that you are retired? Whatever I want to do! Today will involved cardio on this elliptical trainer while streaming netflix and my weightlifting too. Then off to the beach to babysit my youngest grandson for a couple hours. Just found out grandkid #7 on the way too! Heres another ramble they are upgrading my internet speed. I live out in the country no cable TV my internet comes through the telephone lines, and I think my speed is 3 MB a second? Not sure but it is slow I couldn=92t even stream netflix at night it was SO slow. But I think they have put in =93fiber=94 not sure what that means but all I know is my internet has improved 100% so far they haven=92t notified me or started charging me any more money. Enough for today really feeling thankful right now and I=92ll say goodbye to all my OBC Buddies! ================= Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2014 13:53:01 -0500 To: OBC-Ramblings@yahoogroups.com Subject: sun times From: smartalecx@aol.com anyone coming into chicago for the sun times show this weekend? usually the best show of the year, unless national is here Gary Mandell 3930 North Pine Grove Avenue # 3108 Chicago, IL 60613-5518 _http://gmcards.homestead.com/mywebpage.html_ (http://gmcards.homestead.com/) Member: OCT, OBC, DT, TB ================= Date: 18 Nov 2014 11:30:31 -0800 To: Subject: Gentle reminder to please sign your messages From: directorth@aol.com ================= Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2014 14:47:58 -0600 To: "familytoad@comcast.net" Subject: Re: [OBC-Ramblings] Fwd: Please vote for Howard!!!

From: Taylor Schock I'm sure someone has been cataloged somewhere by someone, but here's a start... OPC checklists. It even gives some that are already identified as differences (the "Now with..." text). http://www.iamdanaustin.com/opc/ Here's a spot that talks about and shows some of the differences. http://ohmyopc.blogspot.ca/ Also from http://www.cardboardconnection.com/o-pee-chee-baseball-cards-history "Differences Between Topps and O-Pee-Chee Baseball Cards At a glance, most O-Pee-Chee and Topps baseball cards put out between 1965 and 1992 look the same. But when you look a little closer, there are some noticeable difference. Besides the logo, the biggest is the bilingual text that starting appearing on the back of O-Pee-Chee cards in 1970. Both English and French were included." This would indicate to me that there's a good chance that most (all?) of the pre-1970 cards used the same pose, but I'm not an OPC expert either, so someone could quickly point out I'm wrong. Also our own Grant has a brief history with some noted variations (at leastthe number of variations). http://www.oldbaseball.com/refs/opc.html You can compare checklists Topps and O-Pee-Chee checklists. If the same number card has the same name, search something like COMC for "1971 #345 baseball" to see pics for Joe Horlen. If the names are different, search something like "1977 Dave Cash" to see the different pics. This is all assuming you can't find someone who has already documented all of this, of course. :) To: OBC-Ramblings@yahoogroups.com From: OBC-Ramblings-noreply@yahoogroups.com Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2014 09:12:58 -0600 Subject: [OBC-Ramblings] Re: OPC experts needed!

Hey guys, this is a good start in the right direction; thank you. I may have just found my next research project! How many of you would be interested in a detailed listing of every difference (besides logo and bilingual text)in the 30-year OPC span? By the way, just this morning I did a quick info grab and comparison for the first 10 cards from 1986 Topps and OPC, because I knew the Topps Pete Rose Special cards were not in OPC (why not?). Card 1 was the same, then cards2-7 were different (as expected), then card 8 was the same, but card 9 wasdifferent. But I was at work, so I didn't keep researching. :) Oops. I mentioned UV stuff. Sorry. But the same thing had already happened with the 1974 Topps and OPC Hank Aaron Specials. Topps put 4 cards on each card front, and OPC put 2 cards each. So the backs were also significantly different, as it meant OPC devoted more cards to the subset. Anyhoo, I think I'm gonna work on this over my vacation.

My favorite part is reading about what everyone was collecting. Seems a lot of us finally reached the goals...Except Mark, who is probably still working on his "gotta have 'em" 57s and 61s! Those were the days when we had paper copies of our want lists. I still need to find the "guess the OBCer" that Guru passed around a few times. And it's funny seeing the old prodigy ID's on there. I know I still have the old emails of how the OBCAC got started. It's amazing how I think back and some memories just pop in my head. Fort Washington, where Jim spent a RIDICULOUS amount of money in travelers cheques (remember those?), Terry who absolutely HATED Joe Morgan, The "teenager" and Josh, who made me feel old at 33, ZZBob and TIC on prodigy (he was a pres and I was VP for a period), Joe Greco who started me with fun food pins and had the greatest collection of player glasses/teams, the ladies of OBC, Rick who always ended his emails with a great baseball quote. It just goes on and on. I can't believe it's been 22 yearsfor me. You guys more than tripled my actual marriage! I guess when you have that many memories floating around your head, it means your old. But, I did finish the 75 mini's and get that '70 712 Nolan Ryan! Sal Domino OBC - 1992 In a message dated 11/22/2014 1:29:58 P.M.

Caught up with Nick Pelletier on Saturday. Highlights of the show are that I acquired the 61 Post Cereal Hank Aaron Company card and several additional company commons. I also picked up five great hits to the 63 Post set including Billy Williams, Willie Davis, Frank Robinson with stripes on the hat, Eddie Mathews and Lindy McDaniel without the asterisk. I realized about a year ago that someday I could complete the 63 Post baseball set. I also picked up a few commons for the 69 Citgo coins and need Rico Petrocelli to complete the set. If anyone has a dupe of Rico, snd it along and I'll get something back your way. ================= Date: Sun, 23 Nov 2014 10:13:51 -0500 To: OBC-Ramblings@yahoogroups.com Subject: It's in the Bag From: Rob Bessette One of the best baseball photos I've ever seen and an interesting story behind the creation of the photo... http://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/its-in-the-bag-1136/ ================= Date: Sun, 23 Nov 2014 10:56:30 -0600 To: "OBC-Ramblings@yahoogroups.com" Subject: Re: OBC historical directory From: Steve Rittenberg Thanks for the work on this.

The cards, featuring only offensive players were produced by Topps and use the identical design as the 1974 Topp set. However, some differences can be noted on certain cards. Some of the game cards have 1972 statistics on the card backs, and others have different player poses on the front (#'s 23, 49, 116, 124, 126 & 127). Players with an * have 1972 statistics (note- this is wrong. Cards with "1972 Season" have 2 asterisks. Offensive line players who don't have stats either have * (Topps) or ** (PB) Therefore all numbers below - the PB cards - have two asterisks except for the possible additional variations listed at the top of the e-mail). Card numbers in this set are identical to the card numbers the players have in the regular 1974 Topps set." 23 Norm Snead (vertical pose) 49 Bob Windsor (vertical pose with ** 1975 TOPPS---Completed

Not that many dealers but many have OBC-type stuff and just set up at shows a few times per year selling off their duplicates. I've made this show for the last three years. I did better at this show on Saturday than at much larger shows picking up 16 T218s, 4 '49B graybacks, 18 Red Mans, '52 T Masi print difference, and even a few common upgrades. I resisted getting into the PCL cards although there were plenty available. $1 to get in for seniors, free old plastic sheets, parking or BART across the street, cheap hot dogs, and a friendly group. Highly recommended, if you ever happen to be in San Leandro the Saturday before Thanksgiving. George Vrechek ================= Date: 24 Nov 2014 21:39:07 -0800 To: Subject: I just ran outta time.

From: "Bob Donaldson" There has been at least one person asking to join late, so I=E2=99m giving a final call for participants. **** Respond to this email with your name by end of day Friday 11/28 if you=E2=99d like to be in the exchange From: Bob Donaldson [mailto:obcbobd@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, November 03, 2014 1:57 PM To: OBC-Ramblings@yahoogroups.com Subject: OBC XMas Exchange 2014 Well, it is finally that time of year. The OBC holiday card exchange. For those of you who are new, or have bad memories, the holiday exchange is when participants are randomly assigned the name of another participant to buy and mail a gift to the person they have been assigned to. On December 25th - Christmas for some, the day after Hanukkah, the winter solstice or Yule for pagans (not sure if we have any pagans) or just a fun day to get a gift. Rules (the fine print) 1. Gifts should be in the $10 range. The best gifts are not usually the most expensive. Try to get creative. 2. Envelopes should be clearly marked "do not open to Dec 25" or "Do not open till Xmas". 3. Open your present on the morning of the 25th 4. Report your present and who gave it to you on the ramblings server ASAP. How it works. 1. REPLY DIRECTLY TO THIS EMAIL (please do not send a new message as itmay miss my email filter), put with your name in the message, that will make it easier to track things. Or send an email to me with " OBC XMas Exchange 2014" in the subject. Please include your name just to make sure I don't mix up your email address. Please make sure OBC XMas Exchange 2014 is in the subject line! That makes it easy to track. 2. Wait a few days for a message from me telling you who your victim is based on a patented semi-randomization technique, 3. Buy something nice, wrap it, mark it "do not open" till the 25th, andsend it out. NOTE: We are running a little late this year so hurry up and respond. I will try to get assignments out ASAP Merry Christmas!

Today isobviously the day to remember all the good things in one's life. For me, one of the best things I ever did was to join OBC in June 1997.
While it is Incredible how my collection has grown, it's more than that.
I have awhole new appreciation for the hobby passion of others and even more than that, for the generosity shown by this amazing group.
Thank you all for enriching my life, not just my hobby!

Now on to card business, many of you know that I am more interested in prewar collecting than the modern Topps era, but I like the Topps cards enough to have the "run" going.
It's a collectors dream to be able to fill in doldrums and dry spells betweenPreWar HOFers  with Topps sets.
So as one collection grows, the other's want list shrinks.
Yesterday's mail brought a eBay card I needed from the 57 Topps set (Mantle)

Calculating the 1953 through 1980 wants, I need 268 more to finish.

http://familytoad.tripod.com/wantlist.html

Not too bad, and while there are a lot of high numbers, they aren't all just big stars remaining.
Then I went to the gem of my collection, my SGC HOFers. I have 266 in my registry .

http://www.sgccard.com/customsetcomposition.aspx?id463

I'm fast approaching the day where these two numbers will pass each other. I'm looking
forward to having more SGG HOF singles than cards I need to finish my 53-80 run!!

If I get a hit or two to the list, or send in another submission from my HOF box, I'll traverse the two. I know that's a pretty silly goal but somehowI found it interesting and exciting...and you guys are really the only ones I could share that with without some rolling eyes and bewildered congratsLOL!

Thanks for listening!

I've owned a number of 1983-86 postcard-sized Donruss sets since they came out, with both active ("Action All-Stars") and retired players ("Champions"). I've gotten as much out of them as I will by this point, so am looking to pass them to a new home, either in or outside of OBC. The sets are complete and in pages, so perhaps a straight-up donation is best?
