450.0. "Gold Leaf Stars" by ASDS::KELLY () Mon Jun 22 1992 17:21

    ANOTHER NEW SET
    I just opened one pack of 1992 Gold Leaf Stars.  These packs 
    were shipped to the people who bought Leaf product this year.
    I didn't.  The cards are beautiful.  The set has 33 cards 
    and there are 2 ( thats right folks two ) cards per pack.
    
    These packs retail for 8 ( yes thats right folks eight )
    bucks a pack.  
    
    Card 3 is Sabo
        29 is Benes
    
    Why didn't I get a pack with Clemens and Ryan?
    It was free so I can't complain.

450.1same design as Gold Edition - jass (just another sub-set)DDIF::TANCILLlong may you runWed Jun 24 1992 01:1918
    
    These packs were sent free to dealers who ordered Donruss factory sets.
    One pack of two for each factory you ordered.  The couple of store
    owners I spoke to today had no set retail price for the packs, one
    opened all his and priced them up as singles, the other was sitting
    on them to see what they were going for.
    
    They are exactly the same design as the Gold Edition Leaf cards
    which you get one per pack of Leaf, with the exception that the
    back says x of 31, and the stamp on the back has a star around
    the normal leaf logo.  I think they are nice, but I ain't going
    to go crazy trying to collect them, especially since dealers seem
    to be thinking $8/pack is cheap (at least the few I talked with did,
    one based this on what last years promo's did in price and these 
    gold Leaf Stars are much rarer of course).  right.

    The Ryan lists (on the net) for 50 Dollars.  That is stupidly high.
    Karl don't forget to add team cards to your collection, and you might
    want to think about checklists with his name on them.
    
    Continued great hunting

450.4CERBUS::KARLSONOnly 156 shopping days until Xmas!Wed Jul 22 1992 20:5012
    
    I saw a dealer with most of these this weekend, and the highest priced
    card he had was Bagwell for $15.
    
    Magazine Exchange (SCD advertiser) is *giving* away a pack of these
    (they say it's a "retail value of $10") along with a '90 donruss rookie
    set, and 10, yes, TEN, MVP sets from some Donruss set (baseball, forget
    which year) with the purchase of a '92 Donruss factory set for $44.95
    
    scarce huh?
