  Re: 2951 (not quite finished)
 
(...) The primitive .dat files invert the colour internally, so if you code 1 16 ..... it ends up correct. If you code 1 24 .... you end up inverting the inverse colour which is not correct. Chris (25 years ago, 18-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) They also set 5978, Sphinx's Secret Surprise for $9! I though I missed out when they removed it last week when it was $13. MRSP on this set is $50, so I couldn't resist buying a few copies. Toki (25 years ago, 18-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)
 
  Re: Where are you getting 4561 for under $60????
 
I thought of that. It would be difficult to find someone willing to put such a large amount on their credit card, though. (at least, I wouldn't do it) Plus they'd have to be living in my area; otherwise, I'd be paying for shipping twice. :) -- Paul (...) (25 years ago, 18-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains)

  Re: Set id requested
 
AFAIK, no set comes with 2 yellow spoilers, you probably have 2 6524s or 2 6568s, depending on the general age of the lot you got. If you have a lot of the red chalices, then odds are you have 2 6568s, those were relatively rare before 6568 was (...) (25 years ago, 18-Jan-00, to lugnet.general)

  Re: Where are you getting 4561 for under $60????
 
Suggestion - get a CDN Consortium together. Check the shipping costs on TEN 4561s, hopefully it won't be too much higher than the $35. If not, get some other Canucks together to amortize the shipping cost. That would probably be cheaper than having (...) (25 years ago, 18-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains)
