    	John, yes, I have seen the Nightmare on Elm St., a dealer was
    	selling the factory set with the Holograms for $30, but you can
    	get them from Rotman's for $25. 
    
    	About the Boris cards, I assume the $30 was for a box, but you can
    	buy a complete set for half that much.  You don't have to worry 
    	about the Supreme Court for me, I try to stay as far away from those
    	guys as I can, and that includes politicians also. 

    I picked up three packs @ .60 cents three weeks ago. Nice cards-they'd
    look go in plastic sheets. 
    Are there any CC, SP cards or holograms or is this the one true,
    unadulterated, what-you-see-is-what-there-is set of cards in the free
    world today?
    I saw in the paper that there are going to be Bible cards.

    	What you see is all their is. No hollos, just 90 very nice cards.
    
    	If you like Boris cards be on the lookout for Frank Frezetta(sp?)
    cards that are due out in mid November. They are supose to be just as
    good.
    
    	Texas...West coast? Texans may like to think so may think so 
    but I dont! the West coast is ALASKA, you know the BIGGER STATE. ;^)

    	RE: .4   
    
    	Eric, good to see you back in the Notesfile.  I knew that as soon
    	as I mentioned the Boris cards you would get in.  Most of the
    	Texans I have talked to think that Texas is so big that it
    	stretches all the way out to the West Coast, you must be an exception.
    
    	It seems that some things like the Boris cards show up in the
    	West Coast, excuse me... Texas before they show up here in the
    	East Coast.  Have you seen any other new trading cards over
    	there that we haven't mentioned in the Notesfile yet ?.

    	 All I have seen show up is Classic Monster Trucks, TRS (D&D),
    X-Force, and Shadoworld.
    
    	 Re... how many Boris sets out of a wax box... I just bought a secnod 
    wax box and was able to get 4 sets with extras out of it. 
    
     	 Before anyone asks. No I have none for sale. I have already
    traded 3 of them for a TRS factory set and am keeping the 4th as a
    backup set. 
    
    
    	What is Shadoworld? It is a 7000 set limithed printing of which 300
    sets are uncut and the first 100 of those signed by the writer Joseph
    Sarno and illistrtor Paul Sonju. It is a 100 card set that is a
    complete fantasy adventure with pictures on the front and the story on
    the back. The art work is ok, but it is not up to Boris standards.

    
    	Eric, is there any difference between the Boris Factory set and
    	the regular set that you put together by buying the wax packs ?.
    
    	Also, I saw a Dungeons & Dragos box for sale at a card show for
    	$30.  How does that compare with the price you paid for a box
    	over in your area ?.  

     re Boris factory sets. I don't know of any such animal. The factory set
    I am getting is the TSR / D&D set.
    
     The D & D set boxes are going for $27 to $30 here. 
    
     The factory set of D & D is the one that has 750 cards in it. Some of 
    those are reprints of the ones that have been in Dragon mag, 20 total.
    So the wax box collectors will get a 730 card set and the factory set 
    buyers will have the extra 20 mag cards as well.

    I have bought 7 or 8 packs over the past two weeks. Either I've been
    lucky or the distribution of this set is incredible. I have only gotten
    four (count 'em-Four!) doubles. Upperdeck should be takin' notes.
    
    Any idea what singles are going for? Are some going for more than
    others? If so based on what(probably the ones with the naked babes).
    
   BILL
    

    
    	There was a dealer at a card show that was selling singles of the 
    	BORIS cards.  The commons were $0.25, and the ones with the pictures
	of the naked bodies were selling for $1, and some for as much as
    	$2.  There are a couple of cards that were short printed, they
    	are number 71 & 72.  One dealer told me that he had quite a few
    	sets just missing those 2 cards.

    RE. naked + sexy ones going for higher prices
    
    Its kind of like that proline football card of the blond with the hot
    keester. All the dealers have that one on disply in smudge/drool proof
    plastic. Who is that anyway (like it matters) and whats it going for?
    (i don't think there is a proline file)
    
    bill
    
                                           

       The blonde with the nice keester is Joe Montana's wife and I've 
    seen it for around 75 cents.

    
    Um guys?  Once again, I must ask you to refrain from making sexist
    or rude comments.  This is not a locker room, nor is it a male
    only clientele.
    
    If you guys don't stop, you'll never be supreme court justices.

    ps: Once again, if anyone is offended by these notes, and wants to
        complain to me offline, please feel free to do so, and I will
        delete the offending notes.

    
    Actually, there is a set of baseball cards put by Playboy, featuring
    none other than ... Morganna, the kissing bandit.
    
    Supposedly, only 5,000 were produced.
    
    Morganna is a semi-regular on the card show circuit.
    
    There is also a set of posters put out by the Bench Warmers.  I've
    seen them at a couple of shows (the models were there hawking the
    posters, and autographing them for you), and most anyone who reads
    SCD has probably seen a picture or two of them.
    
    PlayBoy also has a set of autographed deluxe photos you can get of
    most any recent model.  Kind of pricey, but for some people ...
    
    -rjk

    oooooh, think of the possibilities for holograms.
    
    I'm surprised ProSet hasn't done anything along those lines yet.
    They'll make cards for just about anything. When is their Hill vs.
    Thomas Supreme Court Hearing set Series I coming out?

    re: last few notes
    
    Pardon me for bu**ing in...I thought this topic was supposed to be
    about the Boris Trading Cards.
    
    Hey Juan,  how are ya??
    
    If anyone is interested, there is supposed to be an "autographed"
    Boris Trading Card series.  It is supposed to come out sometime in
    the November/December time frame.  I'll post an update when I know
    more.

    Saw an autographed Boris card at a card show this past weekend, 11-23.
    It's not a regular issue card with his autograph, but a card that has
    "1991 Boris Vallejo Autograph Card" (methinks) printed on the front,
    along with the title "Diving" in the lower right corner.  The painting
    was of a woman diving off a high cliff with a futuristic city in the 
    background.  The back of the card had absolutely no printing, only the
    autograph of Boris.  Since there are only 1000 of these autograph cards
    and the dealer being a Boris fan, darn it, he wouldn't sell the card to
    me.  I was going to offer him ten whole dollars!!  What a cheapskate...
    ;-)
    
    Bummed out...

    I just place my order for Boris II trading cards.  I have no idea 
    what the price per box is, but I guess at about $28-$32.  The 2nd
    series will also have randomly inserted autograph cards totaling
    1000, and a randomly inserted(?) scratch-off card which is an instant 
    winner of an autographed uncut sheet of 2nd series cards 
    
    
    Should hit the card stores probably March '92.
    
    

    I called Comic Images last week to speak to someone about the short
    run/print of card numbers 71 and 72.  The rep said that they were 
    aware of it, but couldn't fill any request to send ANYONE these two
    cards.  She (the rep) also said that on the CardNet(?), these two
    cards were a very hot/hard item to get ahold of.  She also said that
    a box of unautographed cards would yield two, maybe three if you're
    lucky, complete sets of cards.

    	Would anyone like a BORIS original?
    
    	Look at card # 35 in Boris series 1
    
    	Their is a book store in town that has it. It is about 
    2ft by 4ft in size with a large frame also. The manager states that it
    is the original, but I have no way of knowing as I am not into art. I
    can see brush strokes on it though. They ar asking $4,000.00 for it.
    
    If you want more info send mail to gucci::ewise

    On one of the backs of the Series 1 cards, a statement was made that 
    Boris keeps possession of all of his paintings.  
    
    If you look in the lower right or left of the painting, it should
    have Boris' name.
    
    

    
    If it's a print, litho, whatever, it'll still have his name.
    
    I have a very high quality litho print of one of Frank Frazetta's
    paintings ("Death Dealer" -- my favorite! 8^) -- and you'd swear
    it was an original painting.

    Any idea when Borris II will be out? I heard early '92 then February
    then March. Hear it is April and still no show.
    
    whats up
    bill
    

    Bill,
    
      The Boris II cards are available now.  I just saw some at a store
    called Comically Speaking here in Maynard Mass.  I am still
    debating about whether or not to get them.  However, I did pick up
    some of the new Olivia Cards.  If you like the Boris cards, then
    you should love the Olivia Cards (even though they only feature 
    women).  The Olivia set also consist of 90 cards with 6 Prism
    cards that are very rare.
    
    			Russell

    Re: .26
    
    The Prism cards can't be too rare. A friend of mine got three in a box.
    
    John
    

    Thanks for the info. I picked up hand coallated sets of both(Borris 2
    and Olivia) for $7 each. I wasn't really impressed with the Borris
    prisims and I wasn't about to shell out $12 for Olivia prisims so I
    thought buying sets was the best way to go.
    
    Oh yeah, no cards were "accidently" short printed in Borris 2 unlike 
    Borris 1. Impel doesn't have to resort this tactic anymore- they now
    have inserts.
