|  |     Your write John, it's funny you mentioned it. I remember watching the
    home shopping club just a little while ago and they were real anxious
    about selling those promo cards. The home shopping club sure likes to
    promote classic and the promo cards.

| 405.8 | promos | EMASS::LANDRIGAN |  | Wed Mar 18 1992 09:54 | 7 | 
|  | I have an emmett smith promo from the 1991 convention that I bought at
auction about a month ago.  Tuff Stuff lists some of the promos in what
I call the "unusual section" (i.e. after baseball/football/basketball/
hockey). The card I have was listed last month for $125.  I guess due to
scarcity?

|  |     I see a promo as being something given away to a specific amount of people
    (sometime large, sometimes small) which is specific unto itself and
    different than the regular issue available to everyone everywhere.
    example:
    	Proset distibutes a player of the month card to the home crowd of
    the player before a game a week or 2 after that month (I got Pat
    Lafontaine's ProSet P.O.T.M. card a week 1/2 ago before they played
    Boston). This is a specially made card, different from the regular set
    card and supposedly available only to those attending the game on that
    specific night at the Buffalo Memorial auditorium.
    
    	Cards given away with the purchase of a set (Classic's Ismial,
    Score's Lindros set) seem to common and available to be promos. 
    
    Just my song and dance number,
    Don't quote me,

    I picked up a set of the '92 Donruss promos (12) in a trade. I was
    really unsure about the value, the guy I traded with really wanted
    my card (Thomas team Pinnacle) and assured me that the set was worth
    the Thomas. I've never seen them before, but they were numbered 1-12
    and had "Donruss Promotional?" on the back. Did I get burned, and
    what are these going for?

    But, try and get someone to buy those promos, then you will really
    know what they are "worth".  I would guess that promos are a much
    narrower market than inserts (at this point in time).

    Picked up the latest Tuff Stuff today. There up to $990 now, but I have
    to agree with Jeff, try selling them for that! As a matter of fact I 
    Commisioned a dealer to put them on the sports net @ $700 last week,
    still no luck. I'll probably end up trading them at a big show were 
    there might be some interest.

    Jim,
    It  still sounds like even if you have to fire sale them, it 
    was a decent trade and you'll probably come out well ahead.
    Heck even at $100, you make out ok.
