    Mike,
    
    Considering how many have left in the past year or two, sure, why not.
    
    RMF still here in KAO. Read the file almost every lunch time but have
    had nothing to say for a long time. 
    
    Prices and lack of availability have dampened my interest. Lack of time
    has damped my ability to owrk on my collections.
    
    Still alive and well,
    
    RMF

    Hi, I took last year off but, I'm slowly geting back into it.
    I'm mostly just doing Basketball and not all of it just a few sets.
    In baseball I'm doing Topps and maybe one extra set but, I'm still
    here I'm at LKG now.

    mostly into non-sports cards, etc, at this time (looking forward to
    Fleer Ultra's set of "Batman Forever" cards)...HEY MIGUEL!!!!
    What's happening, dude!!! Still here, I see....so am I!!!
    Remeber the good ol' daze in Field Service with Julio, Dio, etc????

    The moderator is still here - although there's not much anymore to
    moderate.
    
    I haven't been buying much lately myself.  Last time I bought any-
    thing was a few weeks ago when I picked up some packs for the kids
    on my baseball team.
    
    The interest just isn't there anymore ...

    		I'm still here, but like most of you I haven't
    		been doing to much lately myself. Costs are
    		just to high and there are too many different
    		sets.
    
    		John, if you've really lost all interest you can
    		give your collection to me. 8*)

    I'd echo John and Joe's comments.
    
    Much interest is lost
    
        Too many sets.....too costly.....insert mania....unstable economy
    
    I've settled on one player to keep some involvement (Michael J) with
    the hobby...little did I know there are 300 Jordan cards!
    

    
    I'm still here too!
    
    Doing very little, like most of you.
    
    I've settled on one set baseball set a year, probably Upper Deck's
    Minor League set and maybe one Football set.
    
    Regards,
    Denny
    

    Hi guys, like the rest of ya still around but not doing much.
    
    All my money is in my screenprinting business!!  ;*)
    
    
    Downsy

    Still here as well.....I buy a pack or two occasionaly, but that's it.
    Just too much hype and too many choices.  Can't even realistically
    do one player with all the sets out now..  Prices/pack outrageous.
    Still filling olders sets occasionally, but being a new home owner,
    I've suddenly found new things to spend $$ on.....constantly!

    I'm still out here and still plugging away at older stuff.  Prices are
    coming down which helps.  I've noticed lots of local shops biting the   
    dust.

    	I'm still here, from time to time.  
    
        Live from Charger Central......Glenn
    

    This is my first time here . I have been trying to collect LEAF 
    baseball . My son collects Frank Thomas and Piazza .
    
    
    			hope to hear from you all ...... Bill

    
    I'm here Collecting has dribbled down to Autographed Hockey memorabilia
    (not so much cards), hoecky starting line-ups and some football stuff.
    
    I guess it's going back to the old way... collect only what you like 
    because you like it. Not because it's a set or because you think there
    might be money it for ya. 
    
    
    
    See ya Ron
    

    Money doesn't go as far as it used too.
    Picking just a few extra players... very rare to buy a pack.
    
    Looking hard for Kirby Puckett stuff as prices are coming down. Pick up
    Griffey Jr./Randy Johnson when I can get them from my dealer at 50% off..
    Have a friend who has almost 1000 different Tony Gwynn. I keep my eye
    out for him too.

I'm still here, but like everyone else my interest has fallen sharply.

I haven't been in this conference in almost 3 months and there's only been
about 65 new entries!  I haven't bought anything in about 6 months.  Most
of the shops I used to go to are closed.  Since I've finished my '68 and '69
baseball sets I've slowly been working on completing my '67 and '69 sets.

As for the new stuff I'm only buying regular Topps baseball and basketball.
All of my inserts are for sale real cheap!!  I hate inserts!  In my opinion
they've ruined the hobby.

    Still here but haven't checked this file in a few months.
    
    I have been buying and trading for 59-61 Fleer Baseball and 
    62 Topps Civil War News primarily through Internet contacts and once in
    a while from Kit Young through the mail.
    
    I also watch for LL and WS cards from the late 50s/early 60s.
    
    I have lots of dup's from 59-66 to trade with if anyone is interested.

    I'm still here also.  I only check the file on occasion -
    probably been six months.  My interest is way off also.
    I'm only collecting Drew Bledsoe.  If you want to buy any
    bupes send me mail.  I'm at 50% of current becketts.
    Mike
