I started writing a script this afternoon to pull down recent winning auction prices for various sets and store them in a database. This should help me calculate market value of older sets for insurance purposes, as well as helping to track trends. (...) (24 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.market.appraisal)

Are these really rare ? I found two in a flea market baggie I bought today. I didn't even notice them until I was almost back to the car. I was more interested in the Pizza-To-Go (sans truck) that was in the bag. Ray (24 years ago, 29-Oct-00, to lugnet.market.appraisal)
