That set is put out by Bob Cousy and his ?agent? -- they set the
price.
I heard an interview with Cousy. Said since his rookie card was
going for so many dollars (don't recall the figure), he thought
$1 a card was extwemely weasonable for this set. It's a fixed
price.

| No John, I resisted the urge. It was either the Cousy cards or new
shoes for my son. Guess who won ??
Wouldn't this be mostly a regional-interest item ? For example, how
many people in the East would pay $25. for a set of Jerry West
cards. Certainly there are enough Celtics fanatics to give the Cous'
a few extra bucks but I would think the market is pretty limited.

| I'd shell out 25 clams for some cards of the kid from Cabin Creek that
wore a flat top when it wasn't popular, made jumpers look like
bunnies and was the best defensive guard in his era.
I wouldn't take the Cousey cards if they were free. West had class
as a player, a coach and a general manager. He won world champioeships
as all three. He wasn't:
a complainer
a critic
a hot dog.
He just stuck jumper after jumper and dug in on D.
My kinda guy.
Where do I have to go to get the West Cards?

| Have you heard that some fu paid $5K or $10K or something outrageous
along those lines for set #1 out of the 100,000 print run...this is
worse than the guy who was willing to pay big bucks for the #7 signed
UD card of Nolan Ryan! To each his own.

He paid $5,000.
The other guy offered $7,000 for #7 of the signed UD HOB Ryan card.
Sets #1891 and #1991 have been donated to the Basketball HOF.
