    Well, John, so far it looks like it's just me and you. I finally got
    some of these new Post cards. My first six are Will Clark, Vince
    Coleman, Tony Gwynn, Bobby Bonilla, Gary Sheffield, and Kirby Puckett.
    
    A nice looking card, too bad there aren't any logo's, but I like 'em
    anyways. No dups yet, but I have alot of 1990 Post cards to trade if
    anyone can help.
    
    John, if you have the Will Clark, compare it to the 1990 Sunflower
    Seeds Will Clark I gave you last year. the photo is almost identical.
    Do these guys have pool photographers, or what?

    I wish I never read this note John ! I went to Market Basket the other 
    nite and bought 2 boxes (on sale $1.99 ea.) of Post Cocoa Pebbles.
    I got a Roger Clemens,Barry Larkin,and 2 Todd Zeiles and 2 Bobby 
    Bonilla's,I will be very glad to trade for 2 that I don't have.
    They are nice cards,I like the sharp contrast and the colors are also
    very sharp........... John
     

    RE: .3
    
    John, 
    
    I'd like to convince you to trade me that extra Todd Zeile card, but I
    can't seem to send you mail; I get some sort of net error. 
    
    Let me know,
    
    John D.

    
    Got my 1st 3 the other day out of a box of Alphabets.  Trouble is my
    two older boys (6 & 2) aren't big alphabets fans (i hardly ever eat
    anything for breakfast, although there is the dog...)  Any other Post
    cereals you've seen besides Alphabets, Fruity/Cocoa Peebles?  I think
    I did see some on a box of Super Golden Crisps (formerly Super Sugar
    Crisps before sugar became a dirty word, the kids would eat these but
    they don't need any extra pick me up!).  I got Sheffield, Coleman, &
    Zeile, major and minor league stats are nice, pictures ok but the
    blurred backgrounds don't do much for me.  Coleman looks like the
    giant who swallowed St. Louis, the stadium upper deck behind him
    is dwarfed by his face.  Having not seen last year's, the no logos
    really are strange looking when you first see them.

    My son bought a box, actually I bought it and he took the cards, but
    got Canseco, Maugire, and Ricky Henderson all in the same box.  This
    box should have gone to the west coast, to Oakland for sale.

    RE: .6
    
    Forget the dog.... That's considered cruelty to animals in most
    civilized societies 8^) Besides, if he's like mine, he won't go near
    it, anyway. Dogs really aren't that stupid, they know poison when they
    smell it! 8^).
    
    RE: .8
    
    I'll probaby get all the East Coast stars, because I'm on the West
    Coast. That's the way it worked last year. I got all the local (West
    Coast) stars by trading with people in here.

    I know this doesnt belong in this section, and Roy is waiting to jump
    all over me, but while you guys were walking through the Cereal section
    of the stores, has anyone noticed what Wheaties has been doing??  They
    are putting Michael Jordon Sports Calanders, and Sports Books on the 
    back of the box, shrinkwrapped on as an add-on, so there is not cutting
    or fishing through the box of sticky cereal to pull something out.  I 
    guess these basketball free-bees are very limited, and sell for $10
    with the box of cereal and calander intack at sports shops.  Might be
    a nice collectible someday.

    I have the following to trade.

    So far I've found Maas and Justice in super sugar crisp, and Griffey,
    Canseco, and Bonds in fruity pebbles.
    
    Jim
    

    Anyone got a lead on where one can get the 63/64 Post cerial football
    cutouts.  There are both US and Candian versions I would like to get
    hold of.
    
    Dick

    
    	Has anyone had to buy any of the '91 post from a shop yet? I've
    only seen a few and those prices are sure high. $4 Canseco, $2 Straw,
    i wonder what Maas , Justice, and Griffey would go for?
    
    Jim

    RE: .15
    
    Yeah, they want your first born out here (Bay Area) for Rickey "The Whiner"
    Henderson.
    
    Last year at the Moscone show the current (1990) Post set was selling
    for $50.00.

    For those of you in Mass and So. NH trying to complete this set, Post
    Fruity Peebles is currently on sale at Shaw's for $1.99 (regular
    $2.99).  I picked up a box last night; should be on sale 'til at 
    least the end of the week.
    
    - Dan

    
    Unfortunately Dan, * Pebbles are about the only pre-sweetened
    cereals my wife WON'T eat.
    
    							-rjk

    RE: .21
    
    Even if you throw it away, $1.99 for three of these cards is a deal.
    They're *scarce*!  8^)
    
    Actually, considering singles are selling at shows for $2.00+ apiece,
    it isn't too much, if you like the set.
    
    John D.
    

    Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention that if you mix 'em (Fruity Pebbles)
    50/50 with regular Rice Krispies, they're not too bad!
    
    John D. (who's sick of ALL Post Cereals, as well as Corn Flakes)

    
    I too have wondered why they don't include them in all the cereals at
    least for a short time.  My son sees a post cereal on the shelf and
    figures 'post cereal, should have the cards'.  You would think that
    Post realizes it is not only young kids but us older kids too who
    are collecting these pieces of cardboard.
    
    John, they must not be up on the latest trends, kids hate pre-sweetened
    stuff, the cards should be in the pre-sweetened brands for us older
    kids who grew up on sugar and in the "healthier" brands for todays'
    enlightened youth.

    I've been collecting the post baseball cards, also.  I now have
    36 of them, 16 are duplicates.
    
    When I can no longer find a box of sugar crisp with the cards, I'll
    enter my list of dups and look for some swaps to finish out my set.
    Although I'm really a music collector, this set has captured my
    collecting interest, and I'm determined to have a full set.

    Hi,
    
     I recently saw a set of these at a dealer's for $25.00. I was 
    dumbfounded and/or naive.
    
    Lisa

    I have 3 of these if someone is willing to trade.  I have Len Dykstra,
    Jim Abbott and Will Clark.
    
    Glenn

I'd like to complete some more of my Post collection.  Here is what
I have for trade:

1   Dave Justice
2   Mark McGuire
3   Will Clark
4   Jose Canseco
5   Vince Coleman
7   Darryl Strawberry
11  Ken Griffey
12  Roger Clemens
16  Ryne Sandberg
18  Barry Larkin
20  Jim Abbott
21  Barry Bonds
24  Kevin Mitchell
25  Todd Zeile
27  Ricky Henderson
28  Kirby Puckett
29  Don Mattingly

Please send mail to Marty    RAGS::GINGRAS   if you need any of these and
have some others for trade.

Thanks,
Marty

    
    $17 is not bad, I generally see them at shows up here for around $20,
    sometimes more.  Of course, way down yonder in dixie, you-all should
    be able to get it much cheaper, eh?  many :-)'s

    I took a look at my 1991 Post cards a few weeks ago and discovered
    that I'm still missing #30, Kevin Maas.
    
    If anyone has a Kevin Maas to send me, I'll return several for
    just that one.  A list of extras that I have is in note .30.
    
    Thanks,  _Marty
