    If you don't mind my asking, how much did you guys pay for boxes of 
    these?
    
    Lisa

    
    
    	I bought my box at SPAG's for $22.  I also saw at the card show
    	yesterday another Walt Disney entry, it's called Minnie and Me,
    	and it comes in a pink box.  It only has Minnie cards, and the
    	box was being sold for $15.

    We got our box of Walt Disney (IMPEL) at a card show for $25.00.
    No Holograms, but we were able to make 2 complete sets and approx.
    2/3rds of a 3rd set.
    
    Also bought 2 packs of the Minnie & Me to check out.  Found all
    sequence of #6 in one pack (6, 16, 26, etc.) and sequence #1 in 
    the other.
    
    UpperDeck has a set out, supposedly limited edition (50,000 sets).
    Saw the advertisement in a Baseball News magazine, $75.00 for the
    set and you get a one day pass at Disney World worth $29.95.  There
    was a discount offered if you bought 10 sets or more.  As we are
    to go to Florida this winter and can use the ticket, I will probably
    send for the set (beats waiting for the dealers to get them in, IF
    they do!).  If anyone wants the info for the UpperDeck set, contact
    me at this node.

    	The dealers will not get those sets in.
    
    	Those sets were given out at the National, as one of UD's
    promo items.

    ps: And I was pretty sure I'd seen them for a lot less than $75.00
        (my new SCD is hopefully sitting in my PO Box today, will try
        and let you know tomorrow)

    Do these prices include postage ? 
    
    Are there at least ten people in the N Ma./S N.H. area interested in
    these cards ? 
     
    I am, if we can get 9 more.

    	Hey Ron, that's a good idea, count me in.  Can someone verify that
    	the tickets are only good for Disneyland ?.

    Thanks for the updates.  I'll be ordering a set.  Ron, you can count
    me in towards the order.
    
    Thanks,

    Ron,you can count me in if you haven't reached 10 yet.

    hey great we reached  a whole 4 people interested. 
    
    Common' guys would you rather collect a bunch of baseball cards 
    from 37 different companies that will be worth less than you paid 
    in ten years because they shipped 100,000,000,000  of the damn things
    and everyone and thier brother are collecting them.
    
    50,000 is a pretty limited amount. 
    
    Ron
     
    
    

    Well I'll make five.

    That latest TS said that they've been running 7 to 8 holograms
    a case.  Which is about one every 2.5 boxes.
    
    Hardly $150 material.

    
    Oh yeah, that's right.  BTW, in that case, the Hoops CC card is
    going for $50.
    
    Don't even mention that you get one in every box, and you can buy
    4 boxes for that price.  That's being logical, and this is after
    all, a (bwah ha ha ha ha ha ha) HOBBY.

    In reguards to the Hoops cc1 card, I must have bad luck because
    I've opened two boxes and have brought about half of another one
    and still no cc1 card.
    
    Miguel

	Miguel,

	I'll sell you one for 50$		8^)))

    Mike, I appreciate the sacrifice your making buy leting it go
    for 50$ but, You should hold on to it because it should hit
    the 150$ mark soon and you can really make a killing.

	At a card show last weekend, a dealer had the Walt Disney
	Sorcerer's apprentice Hologram, I picked it up and looked at it, 
	it had a couple of scratches at the bottom, and there was a small
	paper bulge on the right edge, and there was a price tag of $75 on
	it.  Here is what transpired

	DLR: That's the new Walt Disney Hologram, very nice, uh?
	ME:  That's a lot of money for a Hologram.

	DLR: It's very rare, I have seen it listed for $100.  
		Do you want to buy it ?.
	ME:  Oh, no, that's too much money.

	DLR: I can sell it to you for $60, it's a very rare Hologram.
	ME:  That is still too much money for a Hologram.

	DLR: Well, if you want it, I can sell it to you for $50.
	ME:  Oh, no, I wouldn't spend that much money on a Hologram.
	     Even if I saw it on sale for $20, I still wouldn't buy it.

	DLR: No, I can't go down that low, that Hologram is listed for $100.
	ME:  I'm not asking you to bring down the price to $20, all I'm saying
	     is that even if someone else was selling it for $20, I still
	     wouldn't buy it.  I still think that's too much to pay for it.

	DLR: No, I'm sorry, I can't bring it down that low.

        It wasn't my intention to talk him down to $20, but he thought that's
	exactly what I was trying to do.  I thought it was interesting how
	some of the dealer's think.
		

    
              JUAN,
    
                   Anytime something like that comes out some dealer will
    always try to make a killing by hyping it before anyone really knows
    what the real situation is. I remember when the UD Henry Aaron holos
    first came out some dealer wanted $100 for it, and it was advertised
    in the SCD for $50, now look at it.

    I have seen a set of promo Upper Deck Disney cards at various card
    shows.  Does anyone have any idea when these are going to be out on 
    the shelves?
    
    

    
    	The way I understand it, correct me if I'm wrong, anyone, is that
    	the 5 card promo set you are talking about were given out to anyone
    	who attended the convention, mostly dealers, and it's not going to
    	be available to the public.
	
	There are ads in SCD and other publications where you can buy the
    	set for $25 without the Disneyland ticket.

    RE: -1
    
    My mistake....I should have said, "Does anyone know when the regular/
    retail Disney cards by Upper Deck hits the retail shelves?"

    I don't believe UD is doing Disney cards.  Least not so far as I've
    heard.  I believe Impel has the license for the Walt Disney stuff,
    ProSet for Little Mermaid.
    
    No idea who'll be doing Beauty & The Saint, er I mean, the Beast,
    but you can be sure someone will be ...

    re: -1
    
    I'm pretty sure UD is supposed to release a set of Disney cards.  I
    can't remember which magazine, SCD or Tuff Stuff or any of the trading
    card publications, but I think UD is supposed to have them out on the 
    market by the Jan-March '92 timeframe.  It's possible that there will
    be Holos randomly inserted in the packs and I'm pretty sure that a 
    special "Lifetime Pass" for the Disney parks will also be randomly
    inserted.
    
    I'll check my mags for info and will post later.......

    re: -1
    
    The Upper Deck Disney card set was a Promotional Give-Away at the 
    National Card show this past July in Anaheim, California.  You could
    only get this set if you attended the four day show.  
    The 5 card set can be bought at card shows for prices ranging from
    $13-$30.  It's a nice set of cards, just pick up a Tuff Stuff or 
    SCD and you should be able to find it advertised from many different
    dealers.
