Hi FB Guys and Gals:

Not a member here as I cannot do scans but wondering why there has been no interest in the 1990 British Petroleum football card set. I have offered them in the Brockelman auctions and other places with little interest. Is that because they are only 30 years old, (fast becoming "vintage") not Topps or other gums?

These are all stars of the day and pictured without helmets so you can really see the way they are. In color of course.

I also have some FB materiel in the current Brockelman auction which do not seem to be getting much love. Hard for me to figure out as I like misc. FB as much as BB (especially under the current circumstances)

I have some of these but they aren't worth much. Probably a combination of being overproduced and just not a lot of demand for them

If you're interested in selling them I'd love to chat as I'm working on the set.

Not "WORTH MUCh ? That is the problem with this "hobby". What is it "WORTH"

I could care less about "what is it worth" Would prefer to help a collector as we used to. Guess that does not mean much these days. FB board included.

OK how about I trade you your BP cards for my old scanner.

[sealmark2]

Great idea Al. I will complete your set for free and do not want your scanner as I am 81 and technologically inept - and don't plan to change !

Who do you need ?

Happy to trade all day long! Or help a collector out. I agree that's the way the hobby works best.

You said you wondered why nobody wants your oddball football that you consigned. I was just trying to tell you that you are asking too much for them. When you consign something it IS all about worth.

Jeff:

Let me know who you need and an address and I will send them to you gratis.
