569.0. "1993 STUDIO" by VERSA::HOY () Mon Jul 19 1993 03:40

    I just saw a picture of '93 Studio.  They looked pretty hot.  They
    upgraded the quality a great deal.  The store owner said a box is going
    to start at $60.00. If its worth it or not we'll have to wait and see. 
    It might flop like the past Studio's or it might be the next '92
    Bowman.

    I thought the past Studio cards were kind of nice. As far as last
    year's Bowman goes, the design itself  was  pretty boring and the
    only thing making it hot  was  it's  "scarcity" thereby making it
    attractive to investors.  If there was  more  out  there,  people
    would stay from it.

569.2Jim Bowman-Only a guideSTOWOA::MKELLYMon Aug 02 1993 15:536
    The hooy is buzzing with rumors that Jim beckett bought up lots
    of 92 Bowman and the price increases are a reflection of those
    purchases.
    
    It seems way-way overpriced to me.

    Mike, especially when you see plenty of ads for boxes and singles.

    Good point!!!
569.5How much???SDOCS1::MONDARESWed Sep 22 1993 23:585
    What is the price per box, now that it's been on the shelves for a few
    weeks?  How about price per basic set, i.e. not including sub-sets?

569.6better price early this timeSEND::TANCILLSponsered by nobodyThu Sep 23 1993 01:3211
    
    I don't know what the cost is per box now after a few weeks, but in the
    first week it was $30/box at the BG show.  I believe that's below
    hobby dealer direct cost.  I haven't heard or seen anyone blowing it 
    out like that since, generally I see for it $1.25 or $1.50/pack at
    the retail card stores.  Some have sold through their original case
    or two and aren't selling boxes, so I haven't seen a box price in 
    awhile.

569.7Pace & The Concord Area PricesKARHU::DORSEYFri Sep 24 1993 14:0913
    
    I picked up a box at Pace last night for $41.98. Most of the shops
    up in Concord are selling them for $54.00 a box and $1.50 a pack.
    
    Toys R Us in Concord has them for $1.49 a pack.
    
    At a show in Concord last weekend one dealer had them but wasn't 
    sure what other dealers were going to sell them for so he left his
    home so as not to loose money if his price was too low.
