This Note is for the soon to be released DC Comics trading cards,
that are supposed to be out this week. The set will consist of
180 cards, and will include the favorite DC comic characters,
like Superman, The Flash, Green Lantern, Wondern Woman, Lobo.
This set will also contain 10 different Holograms, and...
[wait... someone just handed me a note...]
FLASH !!! FLASH !!! EXTRA !!! EXTRA !!!
DC COSMIC HOLOS HAVE ARRIVED...
I just received word that a company in California is already
selling the complete set of 10 DC Cosmic Holos for $30/set.
This guy is unbelievable, I saw one of his adds on the SCD,
and he sells Holos at the lowest possible price.
He told me that he got an early shipment of the DC cards, opened
the boxes, and put together the Holo sets, then sold the regular
cards directly to dealers, so he actually gets the Holos for
nothing, and that's why he can sell them at such a low price.
In case anyone is interested, here is the information
American Liquidations
929 Commercial St.
San Jose
CA 95112

More at eleven...
Now back to the regular programming already in progress...

I received a letter from the company that I ordered my DC cards from. In it they said Impel pushed back the ship date to March 31st. If that's true, my cards should reach my home around the first week of April, but if these folks at American Liquidations are receiving boxes/cases of DC cards and are able to build complete sets of holos, what the real story? I heard that a box of DC cards would yield approximately 3-4 holos. Now if that's also true, then A.L. is receiving quite a large amount of boxes/cases. Who are they shipping the cards to? Who can we contact? BTW, I ordered my set from A.L. yesterday. Can't wait to get them 8-> jeff | |||||

their Consumer Relations Department. See Note 294.35 for the 800

When I first heard about American Liquidations selling all
those Holograms for such a low price, I was wondering if
the Holos were defective or second class, or something like
that, but I took a chance anyway. Last week I ordered a
few Holos, including Star Trek, Disney, T2, Mutant Ninja
Turtles, and Arena. Yesterday they arrived via UPS, and
after inspecting them, I couldn't find anything wrong with
them, they were all in Mint condition, and it took 1 week
from the time I ordered them.
I just wanted to mention this, because I know that many of
you probably had the same apprehension about this company,
which is only natural when you don't know the company's
reputation. I have already ordered my set of DC comics
Holograms which should arrive next week.
We need more companies like that in order to blow away all
of those dealers that charge lots of $$$ for those "rare"
Holos at the card shows.
One last note about the T2 Holo, a friend told me that the
original plan was for the Holos to be inserted randomly
inside the T2 trading cards packs, but someone on the inside
managed to scoop them all up and held them back, and that's
why the general public never found any inside the packs.
Sounds a little fishy to me...
