    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?
    
    Almost heaven-West Virginia

|  |     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.
