49.0. "Topps Coin Sets (Baseball)" by LDYBUG::HUNT (Modern Day Warrior) Thu Jul 14 1988 15:01

    At lunch today, I bought a package of three 1988 Topps baseball
    coins.  They look A LOT like the 1987 coins.  The fronts are similar
    except there are little stars by the players names.  The backs are
    identical except for the copyright date.
    
    The insert offers a Topps Baseball coin holder for 5 wrappers and
    $1.75.  Notice that while the holder doesn't say "1988" on it, the
    holder wouldn't work for last years set due to the difference in
    the size of the sets.  1988 has 60 coins and I believe the 1987
    coins had only 48.
    
    Does anyone know anything about these yet?  And how are the prices
    for the 1987 sets holding out?

	re: .1 What no Incaviglia? I wouldn't touch them with a 10' pole. The nerve of some of these companies! Dave 8^)
49.5	Two Will Clarks	20984::GARAHAN		`Mon Aug 01 1988 12:32`	5
	I bought 5 wax packs down at the Cape last week, I luckily wound up with Boggs and Clemens. Also one of the packs had 2 Will Clarks. Two out of three coins the same it doesn't seem fair. Tim Garahan

	Can someone tell me where you can buy plastic coin sheets similar to the plastic sheets used for cards? Or do they even make them? Thanks Rick
49.7	Try a coin shop	PNO::KAPLAN	subtlety..SUBTLETY..<<S U B T L E T Y>>	`Mon Dec 04 1989 14:21`	4
	They do make them, either 20 or 30 to the 8.5 x 11 page. You can probably get them easiest at a regular coin shop. They may cost you $.50 to $1.00 per page, depending on the greed of the owner. phil

	Thanks. I picked some up at the Dunbar shop in Marlboro. They aren't really desined for baseball coins but it'll do the trick. Is there much interest out there in Salada/Topps coins? I am going to try and shop them around. I have about 1/2 of the collection (including Mantle and Drysdale) and they are in great shape. I am heading up to the show in Salem NH Sunday to check around for Dealers interested in coins, if they even exist. Rick
