================= Date: Sun, 31 Dec 2017 19:36:22 -0500 To: obc-ramblings Subject: 2018 Goals From: Andy Huntoon Hello OBC, I've enjoyed reading the 2018 goals so far and decided to work on some for myself for the new year. Last year I didn't do any goals and my collecting reflected that. It was a tough year for me to be honest. I was hospitalized once for my diabetes and then suffered a heart attack on November 13th. I was released just before Thanksgiving and the next morning while cooking the turkey our oven caught on fire ruining the turkey. So we had cheeseburgers and fried chicken with all the sides for dinner this year. Since I'm still waiting for my first disability check our Christmas was a little thinner that other years. So, I'm going to set some goals for 2018 and see if it helps me have a better year coming up. - Acquire a Cobb or Wagner pre war card (this is a big one and I'll likely have to sell some stuff to make it happen but I really want one) - Change my E93 list from a Have List to a Want List (only 2 needed) - Add 4 more T205 NY Giants - Pick up the last 13 1954 Topps commons that I need (leaving just Berra, Banks, Aaron and Lasorda) - Finish my 1968 Atlantic Oil set (less SPs, 5 to go: Alvis, Bunning, Gibson, Tresh and Yaz) - Finish 1973 Topps (only 11 to go) - Pick up another Mantle base card - Pick up 10 more 1962 Green Tints - Add another 6 sets to my want lists (including 1971 Topps Super and 1951 Topps Red Backs) - Be more active - send out more return fire when I can and more RAOK - Expand my dupes box from larger purchases from dime/dollar boxes Thanks for reading this far and lets hear some more of your goals guys! Best to all, Andy Huntoon OBC Rules!!! ================= Date: Sun, 31 Dec 2017 17:50:16 -0800 To: Mac Wubben Subject: Re: [OBC-Ramblings] Re: 2016 COLLECTING GOALS From: John Stamper You can cross these off your 1976 Wonder Bread FB list 5, 8-11, 13, 17, 22, 24 John Stamper > On Dec 31, 2017, at 1:28 PM, Mac Wubben obcmac@hotmail.com [OBC-Ramblings] wrote: > It's that time of year again...reflecting on the past year of collecting.4 Sets off of the list and 9 sets added.

From: Gary Mandell Before I get dragged off to the annual family NYE party, I wanted to get this out now that the NFL Playoff picture is set (special congrats to the Buffalo Bills for ending a 17 year playoff drought). Once again, I am going to be running an NFL playoff pool for all those interested.It is a very fun format where you always have one playeractive from each team in each game.We have had over a dozenparticipants for severalyears, and hope to exceed that total this year. We have several signed up already. This year will be a cash only tournament, and the entry fee is $5. You may only submit one entry. For those who have never played fantasy football, this may seem a bit complicated.But once you read how to pick a team, you will see it isn't all that tough.And if your home town or other favorite teamis out of it (Bears and Browns for me), it at least keeps the playoffs interesting! The playoff schedule looks like this: AFC Week 1 (January 6 and 7):6 Bills at 3 Jaguars on Sunday @ 1EST, 5 Titans at 4 Chiefs on Saturday @ 4:35 EST, 1 Patriots and 2 Steelers AFC Week 2 (January 13 and 14):1 Patriots at home vs. lowest seeded Week One winner, 2 Steelers at home vs. highest seeded Week One winner AFC Week 3 (January 21):Week 2 winners at home of highest remaining NFC Week 1 (January 6 and 7):6 Falcons at 3 Rams on Saturday @8:15 EST, 5 Panthers at 4 Saints on Sunday @4:40 EST, 1 Eagles and 2 VikingsBYE NFC Week 2 (January 13 and 14):1 Eagles at home vs. lowest seeded Week One winner, 2 Vikings at home vs. highest seeded Week One winner NFC Week 3 (January 21):Week 2 winners at home of highest remaining Super Bowl Week 4 (February 4):Super Bowl The weekend of January 6-7 marks the start of our playoff pool. Here is how it works. Teams:Select a team of 12 players from the 12 teams in the playoffs.Your team must have 1, and only 1 player from each team and you are allowed exactly 2 QB=E2=99s, 4 RB=E2=99s, 4 WR=E2=99s, 1TE, and 1 K (there are no defenses or special teams in the pool).In each game, every participant will have one player going from each team. Rank your players 1 through 12, with 1 being the player you think will score the most points overall throughout the playoffs, and 12 being the player you think will score the least points.These rankings are only used as a tiebreaker between prize winners if necessary. Submit your roster to me like this:QB Dawson KC (4), QB Staubach DAL (2), RB Davis DEN (1), RB Warner SEA (12), etc., with the number in parenthesis being your personal ranking of the player. Passing:Touchdown 4 points, Yardage 1 point for every 25 passing yards, 2 points for a completed passing 2 point conversion, -2 points foran interception, - 2 points for a fumble Rushing and Receiving:Touchdown 6 points, Yardage 1 point for every 10 yards, 1 point for every catch, 2 points for a completed rushing orreceiving 2 point conversion, -2 points for a fumble Kicking:Field Goals:<31 yards @ 3 points, >30yards @ 0.1 points per yard.Missed (including bad snap) or Blocked FG1-39 yards -2 points, 40-49 yards -1 point.PAT1 point, missed PAT (for any reason unless a pass or run results in a conversion) -1 point There are NO points awarded for Defensive scores, including returning a kickoff, punt failed field goal, PAT or 2 point conversions for a touchdown ora Remember, four NFL teams will have 1st round byes, and could potentially play one less game than the other eight teams.The winner is determined by total points scored by their roster over the entire playoff season(four Tie Breaker:Since there is a possibility that more than one team can have the exact same players and/or total score, ties will be broken by the total points of the player with the # 1 ranking from each entry.If still tied, than # 2 will be used and so on until the tie is broken. Prizes (subject to change based on number of entries):Overall winner will get 60% of the prize pool, 2nd place gets 30% and 3rd place gets10%. I hope to have rosters/rankings out before kickoff of the first game on Saturday, especially if I get your rosters early.Weekly results will be sent out as an Excel spreadsheet attachment in an email, usually on Sunday night, but in any case, Monday before noon. Please let me know if you have any questions BEFORE the roster deadline. Deadline: Your roster picks and $5 entry fee via PayPal Friends and Family (or Zelle Quick Pay) must be submitted to me via email (smartalecx@aol.com) no later than Saturday, January 6 at Noon Central Time.Once your team is submitted, it cannot be changed.(if you do nothave Paypal or Zelle, please email me in advance to make other arrangements). I'm looking forward to the pool, and wishing you and yours a Happy and Healthy New Year!

My 2018 goal is to pick up 937 of the 3,054 cards I need to get to 50,000. If I pleasantly surprise myself, I'll exceed the goal again, but I'm not going to count on it.

Just started both, but I don't think they're overly difficult, are they?3) Finish the following sets:  a) 1968 Topps MB (Brooks)  b) 1971 Topps scratchoffs (3)  c) 1975 Hostess(Hooten var)  d) 1975 Twinkies (3)  e) 1979 Hostess (4)  f) 1971 Kellogg's FB (2)  g) 1976 Crane's discs (Staub)  h) 1977 cloth stickers (5 + 1 puzzle)  i) 1973 AFC-NFC Pro Bowl (5)4) Get one of the two '63 Fleer FB RC I need.5) Pick up 400 of the 900+ discs on my list6) Add some older FB and HKY sets to the list.7) Attend the Cleveland National.8) Send out at least 10 envelopes/month.

LOL--but then it is all about the chase. My collecting had an eventful 2017--I finished 22 sets and as you can imagine some of them are regional and oddballs--a couple Remar sets, four OPC baseball, Mayrose football Cardinals, four Kellogg's sets, Jack in the Box Angels, Greiner Tires Pirates and Old London coins. A lot of help from OBC in that endeavor. I don't know how many new sets I've started. So on to this year's goals-- T205s--lets make this easier--pick up five (need 104) 1940 Play Ball--need 73-pick up five 1949 Remar Bread--finish the Remar run 1950 Bowman Ted Williams--finally pull the string 1950 drake cookies--finish the set--need two 1962 Jello and Post Canadian--one card from each set 1976 OPC baseball--cut the list in half (need 50) Finish the 1959 Topps football set (need 11) pick up one Tresler Comet football (need 2 SPs) Maybe we leave it at that--it will be a wonderful year collecting if I can meet these goals and get to Cleveland. peter mead -----Original Message----- From: hoot_owl1 To: OBC-Ramblings Sent: Sat, Dec 31, 2016 7:38 am Subject: Re: Re: Fwd: Re: [OBC-Ramblings] update on 2016 goals and new 2017goals I have maintained this goal listing for the last five years--some pretty interesting reading if you make it to the bottom of the thread.

From: Jim Thayer .....well, this should be a VERY interesting year. 2017 saw some ups and downs with my card business, and I thought back in October I was going to be done and moving onto collecting fulltime. Part of the reason, as I've told a couple members, is that the IRS came cracking down on me from 2015 and 2016....in a big way, regarding selling baseball cards. Scared the crap out of me, and I wanted to hide in a corner. That's when I came to OBC stating I was done with the business. That wasn't the sole reason for wanting to quit, but that surely didn'thelp. HOWEVER....I got the matter resolved, redid my taxes, and I'm no longer sweating bullets. THEN....some great things started to happen over the last month or two for my business, and that led me to nearly leaving OBC because I felt like someof you simply weren't going to understand what I've had to go through. As much as I'd like to have a collection like Mike Rich's, it's been very hard to balance collecting and dealing. A couple of wise old solesin OBC helped me through it though, and have urged me to continue dealing and collecting. I love both!!!! WHAT'S IN STORE??? Well....I actually now have an opportunity to buy a collection of around 10 million cards! It also includes autographedjerseys and balls, vintage games and toys, and more. I can only see this as a benefit for OBC....and I've already had at least one OBCer volunteering to come help me get the collection and to help organize some of it! This is the kind of love I seek from our great members! :) I'll be marching into the bank soon in hopes that they'll just hand themoney over to me. :) I'm hoping with my high credit, my long historywith them, and my successes as a dealer will help. 2018 GOALS - Collect!! I mean REALLY collect! Sets, HOFers, all sports....work towards 50,000 unique cards!!!- Bolster my business inventory- Finish my 1978 Topps 9-pocket project!- Obtain a few more 1978Topps AUTOs. It's been awhile since I've gotten any.- Continue to build my HOF binders!- Help Bryan out with Remember When Sports Cards- Officially start my own separate business, especially if I land the massive collection- Adding one set per year for all 4 major sports. I'm very excited to see what happens this year! Thanks, OBC! ================= Date: 02 Jan 2018 19:50:50 +0000 To: Subject: Today's small waiver wire From: jehutch75@gmail.com ================= Date: Tue, 02 Jan 2018 15:48:24 -0500 To: obc ramblings Subject: Re: [OBC-Ramblings] 2017 Recap & 2018 Collecting Goals From: David Luciano Back from a nice break. 2017 was a great year to come back to the hobby for me. The only regret is not connecting with more members. I found myself instantly filling envelopes and reciprocating with people who sent me packages and that made for 5-6 trades with these members. That=92s great! Don=92t get me wrong. I want to take a lesson from the obc santa (mine was Earl EEK Kilbourn) whohave like minded values and I might not be trading with him if it were notfor the santa gig. Hopefully in 2018 I will get connected with more members and keep the 2017=92s going strong. The National in Cleveland should help that.

Since I'm now down to one card to finish the base set, I've now added the $%&^&#@ variations to the wantlist. Luckily there are only 11 & Seaver is the only superstar. And since I had all of my Kellogg's cards out to confirm the variations I need, I looked at Sal's '72 Kellogg's All Time Greats WL to see who the players were that he needed. By doing that, I discovered that, mixed in with mycompleted '72 ATG set, I had three of the 1970 Rold Gold All-Time Greats tossed in there with them. Well shoot, since I now just need 12 cards to kill that set, I added that one too. I am purposely not going to collect the 1971 variations and the 1979 variations. I need too many to even finish the base sets, and the variations for those two years are off-the-charts insane! As I was looking at my '79's, it appears I have a mix of "registry-mark-in-the-corner" and "no-registry-marks-at-all". Since I don't care WHICH version I have, if anyone is really hunting for particular variations , let me know & I'd be glad to swap my variation in exchange for either the other variation if you have an extra, or any other Kellogg's I need. I should be cheesed off at Sal for forcing me to add to my wantlist, but who are we kidding - this is OBC and and added wantlist just means there are more cards to hunt for!

You are basically dealing with individual sellers. You want to tryto find stuff you need from the same seller. Keep an eye on those shippingprices also, some are kinda ridiculous (sometimes it=E2=99s because their price may be lower, sometimes not). In many cases, you can also make anoffer on card. I have a few favorite guys I have bought from. You can collect some =E2=9Cloot=E2=9D on your purchase that you can use the next time you buy from them.

Ha! Just kidding! Get comfortable and grab a snack/beverage if you'd care to read on... Hi gang,  Along with the great OBC deliveries today were 4 eBay lots I bought last week - all of them were 1976 or 1977 discs. Three of the lots were from the same seller and were good sized starter sets from Orbaker's, Safelon and Buckman's sets. The fourth was a 16 disc lot of Detroit Caesar's that didn't have any stars, but was fairly cheap. I had a few already, but wasn't paying attention to who I had/needed. Well, when I went to cross them off, I discovered that my 16 disc lot was identical to the 16 discs I already owned. DOH! Well, now I have dupes to trade if anyone happens to have any of the 54 discs I haven't bought twice.  On a positive note, I did add about 150 discs to my collection out of my 400 disc goal for 2018. Not a bad start with 51 weeks left , although I haven't seen very many lots for some of the eighteen disc sets I've added this month.  Just wondering, anyone remember getting these discs in the restaraunts back in 76 or 77? How were they issued? Di d they insert them with the food? Did you grab a handful when you paid your check?  Postage stamps are going up in a couple weeks. I hope that means my letter carrier will deliver closer to 6 days/week like he's supposed to and not take any more 5 day weekends like this last one.  I'm itching to take a vacation and/or go to a show. My last "vacation" consisted of working Christmas Eve, Christmas Day off, Tuesday was my vacation and Wednesday was my normal day off. I worked 4 days and didn't go anywhere on the other three. I had planned to take the kids to visit my parents in NH Chistmas night, but they got a White Christmas (a foot of it) and had to cancel dinner plans. We ended up celebrating at my sister's (Medford, MA) on New Year's Day. I'm already looking at rooms in Cleveland, but might try to check out Philly or Strongsville while I'm at it. Any other shows I should consider? That's all for now. Not as bad as I thought it was gonna be ;-) Thanks for reading.

Well, I ended up about 40 minutes away (practically in John Stamper's backyard) at his house today. Pulls our the four binders and I flip through them...cards generally nice for the era, but each set is missing one or two key cards...no molitor/trammell rc, no ozzie rc, no ripken rc. Other than those three, all cards are there and some are in really nice shape (the '78 and '79 Nolan Ryans are nrmt-mt). I say without the keys, I cant offer him his price. He says hold on, I have some other cards but beat up. He pulls out a ziplock bag full of cards. He says $150 for everything. I rifle through the bag and agree... Here is the haul: 4 near complete sets above. 52 1975 Topps including Killebrew, Lynn RC, Perez, and Carlton vg-ex shape 5 Steve Garvey cards from 1972 to 1976 1972 Billy Martin 1962 Harvey Haddix 1961 Clete Boyer 3 1968 Topps incl.

Mostly horror, war, DC heroes. But strangely also a pretty good selection of Archies (given to me). If he is interested, I can get a list together, and he can make me an offer. I'd like them to go to a place where they are appreciated. Decent ones - probably a couple hundred. Reader copies - probably a little more than 1000. Anyone interested in buying some or all of these.

A weekend full of friends and family coming together making Tamales, conversation and gift exchange. My daughter Raleigh was able to join us on Saturday for the second year in a row. It was great to see her and catchup, as she is out in Brooklyn for Law School. I'm taking her to the airport tonight. As she starts school later this week. We had about 20-25 people over at any one time. Karyn's Mom and Step Dad were here and stayed the night. Larry, her step dad, was even able to make it up the stairs to claim the guest bed. He usually sleeps on the couch cause he can't climb the stairs. Karyn was off work between Christmas and New Years, but we decided to not go anywhere so I went in to work. On Wednesday morning she got a call from Larry that her Mom was not doing well. Karyn went up to their house and found her mom disoriented. They called 911 and she was in the hospital for a few days. She had a tooth infection and the infection got in her blood stream. On Thursday when Karyn arrived to take Larry to the Hospital to see his wife, he said he thinks he just had a heart attack. So now he's in the Hospital on the floor below Karyn's Mom. Her Mom was in and out of their three different times. She caught pneumonia while in their and the flu that's beengoing around. She's better now. Larry also got pneumonia. He had two different heart surgeries. The Dr said it didn't look good after the last one. Yesterday he passed away. He was 83 years old. They were married for 21 years.

So, my web site host has been super slow for the past year or two. But, because I don't have a whole lot of time to spend on my hobby, I just dealt with it. Well...I got tired of it, finally, and switch to a host I've used many times in the past for other projects. So, if by chance you have a bookmark for my wantlist, you'll want to update that. If you just get to my list from the OBC directory, the link is already updated there. Here's the new link http://garybeardbbcards.atspace.cc/vintage.html Anyway...while porting my pages to the new server, I wanted to "streamline" my list a bit, and take off some of the sets that I'll probably never complete anyway, or slim those sets down to just the few players I'm really interested in. So, I took a hard look at everything that was there and made some tough decisions. One set that I hadn't seen much discussion about was the 1980 Exhibit reprint set, also known as the 1980 Marchant Exhibits (I recently learned). So, I went to eBay to see what was listed there (you can usually find the sets for about $20). Nothing new, looks the same as always, singles for $4-$8 shipped, $20 for the set, $40 for the Mantle. But one listing for the full set caught my eye. The description included the following info: In the fall of 1979 I purchased the Exhibit Supply Company and in 1980 issued two 32 card baseball sets. This was the second set. A total of 10,000 sets were printed: 1. Although I had intended for the printer to use white stock cardboard on this set as they had on the first set issued earlier in 1980 they used a dark tan stock paper instead. The breakdown on this first printing with tan backs by color was: 2,000 sepia (brown) sets, 1,500 blue tint sets, and 1,500 red tint sets. 2. As a result of the problem on the first printing I had a second printing done on white stock cardboard later in 1980. The breakdown on this was similar to the brown backs: 2,000 sepia (brown) sets, 1,500 blue tint sets, and 1,500 red tint sets. Although many people consider this a repint set it was not intended to be that as all cards were dated and labeled "An Exhibit Card 1980 Hall of Fame" on bottom of front - unlike any older Exhibit issues. So, I messaged the seller with a few questions and this was his reply: There were two completely different sets. If you go to my store and search on "1980 Exhibit baseball set" you will find 5 listings. One of those is for the first set issued. It is not a "Hall of Fame" set like the other 4. The first set was issued only with white backs with one printing as you said and contains about 15 or so hall of famers among the 32 cards in the The second set which had two printings was a set in which all 32 cards are of hall of fame players. Paul Paul is Paul Marchant, btw. I never realized there were two sets printed in 1980, as I never see a reference to a first set or second in any discussions about this set (or listings on eBay). A search for Paul brought me to a thread at Net54 dated 2012. A lot of misinformation was shared there, but information that I had heard so often, I thought it was accurate or accurate enough. I also saw a post or two at TheBench, with similar information. It was very interesting having a back and forth with Paul, to learn so much about what went into this set. I had a hard time deciding if I wanted to purchase the first set with just 15 HOF'ers from him, or just get the second set that had 32 HOF'ers. I decided 32 was better than 15 (duh, amiright) so I went with the second printing. Paul has been holding onto these cards since 1980, so I inquired as to how many he was trying to sell. He only has about 10 left of each. So, if you're interested in a 1980 "reprint" set that might not be a reprint set, go check out marchantcards on eBay and search 1980 Exhibits. It's an easy way to grab the whole set and Paul was a real cool guy.

As long as they're the Ultra Pro or BCW ones, you should be fine. Others probably work just as well, too. I just haven't used any besides those two brands.

Yahoo Groups was created in 2000 and held its own for a few years. Not much has improved on it. Image handling is awkward, and replies to messages in daily digests is so 20th century.

When they pile up, I get to them eventually, like a to-do list. With an N54 format, I guarantee I wouldn't go back in time very far when that happens, because nothing compels me to thinkabout it.

I simply have to scan down the inbox to see who's there, I'm not sure that a Bulletin/Discussion Board does that is quiet the same way, If we could great some weekly or monthy reports that indicated home many time each member has posted to each thread (ramblings, thanks, wantlist) along with (if possible, that number of mentions each member gets within a threads it'd help us to see who are the most active guys at any given time.

For me, having all the messages delivered to me on all topics is very convenient. The downside is that it's rather limited with sharing pictures, etc.   The website forum is great because there's so much more you can do with it. However, I liken it to walking into a house. You have to go from room to room to see who's having a conversation in each room. There's a chance I'll miss out on something if I don't visit every room... or miss out on everything going on entirely if I can't visit the house for a couple days. It wasn't bad when I did most of my browsing on my computer/laptop. Now I do 99% of my internet stuff on my phone, so having the most convenient and accessible method of communication is key - for me at least.  Can we set up our own list server if/when Yahoogroups bites the dust? With unlimited bandwidth from Hostgator, we could even archive it all, similar to Yahoogroups (I think?)

Check out http://sean-mcgowan.org/pool-17.htm for last years numbers, and links to all the previous years. What do you do? You get a square (usually 3) and if your square comes up, you get cards from everyone else playing who can hit your list. If you squre doesn't come up, you send cards to the 4 "winners". It is loads of How do you play? You just email me, Sean , seanobc@gmail.com, and say "I want in!". I will do the rest. I usually draw numbers for the squares on Thursday night before the superbowl. That gives you time to print your sheet on a company printer on Friday :) If you are new, this is a blast! If you never win, try again! :) email me now to get in.... Go OBC!

As Guru mentioned below, I presented to the OBCAC and to the group back in June - July 2017 a forum platform very similar to that of Net54 to replace Yahoo Groups. The AC did some testing to let me set everything up correctly but then Network Solutions (our previous host) was not providing the support to keep the site active with minimal disruptions. With the site migration to our current host, Wayne and I decided not to move the forum over and start new, which was the best move since our new host already has several forums to choose and are easier to set up and navigate compared to the original one from last year. Bottom line is there is a test forum that I set up in November and Wayne and I will give it a final makeover before testing. Most of the comments made saw far address the concerns with the network layout, most notably there is no email functionality similar to Yahoo Groups to deliver individual or digested emails. Instead, you can configure your profile to receive email notifications of newly posted topics or replies to topics. This will be a notable shift in the way we have been communicating but we will do our best to minimize the pain. Please give us a few days before Wayne and I decide on the next steps. Joe Isaac From: LAWRENCE TIPTON Sent: Monday, January 22, 2018 12:22:06 PM To: obc Ramblings; Aaron Shirley; Wayne Delia; Joe Isaac Subject: Yahoo Groups I remember the problems we had with Yahoo Groups a few months back. Was theOBCAC looking into different options (like a Net54 type System) (Or options our new host service offers) to move away from Yahoo Groups? The reason I ask: I have played Yahoo Fantasy NASCAR (it=92s free) for a few years, and today got notice that they are dropping Yahoo Fantasy NASCAR. "We will not be offering Fantasy Auto Racing in 2018.

He had emailed me a few days ago wanting my address to send me something. He didn't know at the time I had just mailed him a little package, so I believe his package to me came unsolicited as a RAOK. Bob included a 1959 Topps Jack McClairen (Steelers), 2 from 1960 Topps baseball (upgrades), a 1960 Topps football, and a 1961 Topps baseball card. All of the cards were in excellent condition.

Gary Beard 1014 Liada Way Oxnard, CA 93030 http://garybeardbbcards.webs.com/high.htm ================= Date: Thu, 25 Jan 2018 23:39:45 -0500 To: "obc-ramblings@yahoogroups.com" Subject: Everett news From: Ken M Hi all,  I've been meaning to type out a note for a while now. Basketball finished up early tonight, as only four brave souls showed up. We had a spirited two vs. two, best of five tournament. We played just well enough to win the deciding fifth game. I'm happy, but tired.  I've had a lot of eBay activity lately. I'm currently selling the last four of the 1952 Topps gray backs from the Strongsville find. Some have gone to a guy in Florida with deep pockets. The others have gone to someone in Alabama with even deeper pockets. I'll send out a report after all 14 (plus the 3 I already had) are finally  sold.  I've also been buying a few things. (A large Paypal balance is a dangerous thing for me, but I'm trying to be good.) The other day, I spotted a 1971 Kellogg's variation (Sanguillen, one of the 4 left on my list) with one bid on it for 99 cents. I was watching it, but never got to put a bid on it until it was too late. I was trying to get the kids to sleep and didn't rem ember the auction until later. It sold for the opening bid. I was so distraught, I found another lot of 114 low grade 1971 Kellogg's w/stars and bid a bunch of money on those to overcompensate for missing out on the one I needed. I won the lot for just over a buck/card. With any luck, my Sanguillen will be in the lot :-) Wes, I'm OK... I think.  My eBay windfall isn't going to last long at the rate I'm going. My car somehow decided to overheat on a 20° day. I let it cool and filled the radiator with antifreeze, but it only lasted a couple days - and then I noticed a trail of green fluid. Turned out I needed a new water pump. The kids really enjoyed the rental car I had for two days though. Much to their disappointment, I will not be buying it however. My old one is fixed now.  Work has been relatively quiet. The holidays were super busy and now we're getting ready for the Superbowl. A couple weeks ago, we had our semi-annual inventory. The last one was the best one they'v e ever had, so it wasn't a big surprise that this one was awful. I hope that doesn't put us into double secret probation and we have to take inventory quarterly. I'll probably be transferred by then hopefully.  Speaking of the Superbowl, I toyed with the idea of using some eBay funds to go watch the Pats play in MN. This morning I heard on the radio that the face value of the tickets this year are double what they were last year... and you can never get them for face value anyway. I'll watch it on TV and eat $50 worth of food instead ;-) Go Pats!   Well, I'll end this here. Thanks for reading this far.

No limit of how many lots you request, but you can only win one lot. I=E2=99ll keep track of who is interested in each lot, and pull one namefrom my beat up and well loved Buffalo Bills hat. Gurus =E2=9CWauction=E2=9D ends next Sunday Januray 28th at 6PM EST (or there about), with =E2=9CWauction Winners=E2=9D announced. Peter Mead Lot 1--1961 Topps #561 Charlie James--a nosebleeder for sure. Actually not too bad a card--with only a couple of creases for character. James is bestknown in the collecting world for his short print 1963 Jello card (well maybe). Lot 2--1949 Bowman #210 Joe "Flash" Gordon--and you think 1961 or 1967 highnumbers are tough--try chasing the 1949 Bowman nose bleeders. Gordon was a Hall of Fame second baseman for the Indians and Yankees. No paper loss and only a few creases on this beauty. Lot 3--1960 Topps #1 Early Wynn--the first card was Topps only horizontal set of the 1960s. Early had turned 40-years old before the 1960 season as he continued his pursuit of 300 wins. Some creases and beat up corners--butit is all there. Lot 4--1962 Post football #153 Bill Koman--one of the many short prints from the only Post NFL set. This one appears Okay--for being cut off the backof a cereal box by a kid. Always loved the "posed" pictures from this set. Lot 5--1971 Topps #180--a slightly miscut card of Tiger legend Al Kaline. Maybe an upgrade for a number of you. In 1955, at the age of 20, Kaline hit.340 becoming the youngest batting champion of all time. Lot 6--1974 McDonald's Padres Discs Dave Winfield--an alternative rookie "card" of this Hall of Famer. Winfield was the mid-1970s Aaron Judge--he just didn't hit as many homers, but at 6'6" and 220 lbs. he hit the ball as hard as anyone I ever saw in person. Admit it--how many of you need a card from this set for your type card list? Lot 7--1948 Signal Gas Earl Jones--a newcomer to the Oakland Oaks that year. A couple of creases, weak corners and the letters HW inscribed on the reverse of the card are the only defects. A great short set from the PacificCoast league. Earl was a graduate of Roosevelt High in Fresno. Lot 8--Topps 1966 #584--Yankees rookie card of Frank Fernandez and wife swapper Fritz Peterson. It was big news when Mike Kekich and Fritz decided toswap wives; now days it would probably only make the Enquirer. In any case, another high number for this Wauction--a solid G/VG. Lot 9 1954-56 Spic and Span postcard of Ray Crone--one of four or five different sets produced after the Braves moved to Milwaukee from a local dry cleaning chain. It appears this card was almost folded in half at some point in its history. Who needs a type card? Lot 10--1954 Topps #7 Ted Kluszewski--this card is much nicer than you average OBC 1954 card. Ted is probably a solid VG/EX with only a couple weak corners. Big Klu hit 40 HRs for the 1953 Reds. (consigned by Bill Ashton) Lot 11--1955 Topps #120 Ted Kluszewski--continuing the theme from the priorlot--consigned by Bill Ashton and this one grades a solid EX if not better(but what do I know about grades like that). Maybe one weak corner and with some gloss. In 1954--Klu banged 49 HRs and knocked in 141 runs finishing 2nd in MVP vote to the Say Hey Kid.

No matter how you define what a "set" would be (assuming you apply the same definition to both), then T205 is easier for the simple fact that it is less than 1/2 the size of the T206. There are errors, variations, and multiple poses in each. Personally I like the T205s better because of the stats/info on the back.

Like Taylor said, it's less than half the size and sticking to the basic 208-card set, there's not really *too* much that is tough about it. One big break is that you don't have two and three cards of a ton of HOFers like you do with T206. There are some SPs that will try your patience a little. There were a few that I didn't see much and I even resorted to Dean's to buy one. Here are some estimated prices for the five most expensive cards if you don't mind Poor/Authentic grade: Cobb - $500-$600 Joss - $300-$400 WaJo - $300 Cy Young - $200-$300 Wilhelm - $200-$300 (for the most common "suffeed" version) Those are just ballparks. Matty will also run you about $150-$200 as a rock bottom. The T205 is a great pre-war starter. You can probably bang out half the set in low-grade commons for around $1,500 with some patience. I'm pretty sure I did for less than that as I scooped up a lot that were $8-$10.

Google also offers Groups. Although I know nothing about how they work, I tried creating a test group. Seems to work, with the exception (for me anyway) that I wasn't able to choose the default e-mail address I wanted messages sent to. I have my defaultgmail address, my Yahoo address, and my AOL address registered with Google- yet when I tried to select an e-mail address for messages to go to, the selection window only showed the Yahoo & Gmail addresses. That could be a problem, although not a deal-breaker; just means if we were to ever switch to Google Groups, I'd just have to get used to checking a different e-mail address. Does anyone have experience with Google Groups?

From: mikesportsfan@aol.com For those who have not yet been to Sam's, it is almost as great as the show! For the Strongsville show, the FOOT contingent has always attended on Saturday. I assume we would continue that tradition, although I have flexibility. For the National, I am fine with imposing on Sam as much as he will allow us! The swap can either be at Sam's or another location closer to the show.Friday nite has historically been guys either going to a Net54 dinner or a ballgame. Last year, many guys just laid low, as they were getting tiredby then. The National can be exhausting, both physically and to the pocketbook, but I still try to make it for the entire show. The Indians are at home against the Angels on Friday nite, but having been to the field numerous times, I would rather go to Sam's. While the Net54 dinner is a generousevent, I am not a big fan of it. It is usually sponsored by the auction houses, and becomes an infomercial for them. For you newbies to the group, if you would like to meet a number of OBCers,plan to attend the National on Saturday nite. The swap session almost always gets 20+ guys. We should have close to 30 attend the show altogether. We will be posting tips for first timers as the show gets closer. Please do NOT buy tickets to the show until you read the tips or talk to an OBCer who has attended in the past. Start saving now and be prepared for a great time!
