BASS SALE SHOW-N-TELL  

   A few more reports are trickling in.  Leonard Augsburger was another 
   disappointed underbidder - his $300 bid on lot 39, Bowers' "Empire Topics" 
   number 1-19 was bested by another bidder at $350.  

   Phil Carrigan bid on six lots and was successful on these: 
     Lot 214:  Woodside & Oliver sale, 1892 (NY Stamp & Coin) 
     Lot 219:  W.W.C. Wilson sale, part III, 1927 (Wayte Raymond) 
     Lot 235:   Hart sale, 1895 (Scott Stamp & Coin)  

    "each of which are great Canadian-content sales.  I raised my bid to get the 
      Wilson catalog having lost a chance to buy the copy from Champa III to my 
      friend George Kolbe. " 
   

MORE ON EBAY  

    Pete Smith  "would like to add a clarification to Larry Mitchell's 
    comments on eBay.  The eBay "Books" category has only six 
    subdivisions: General, Rare, Fiction, Non-Fiction, Children and 
    Textbooks.  There are thousands of offerings in each category.  

   The Coins and Stamps category has many subdivisions includiing 
    one for "Publications."  This includes old redbooks, Bowers' catalogs, 
    and the kinds of things of greatest interest to collectors of numismatic 
    literature."  

    Larry Mitchell notes a change in his email address - it is now 
    ldmitchell@qnet.com

    Jorge Crespo of  Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico is also considering 
    membership - he's a collector of Puerto Rican coins and exonumia.
