Hi Members,
Here are a few lobby sets and single cards offered for sale on MOPO only.
These are theater used so they have some of the expected defects with such
material. Overall condition on all the cards is very good, some are excellent.
Exceptions are noted.

You know, who really cares who posed the question. It is a good question. As
for Bruce, can't one wax philosophical even if they are no longer standing on

It seems a bit peculiar that Bruce is the one to pose this question, as we
all know he has no ties with eBay anymore whatsoever. He's not even feeling
the effects of any changes there might be in eBay's format, etc.

one part of your statement isn't entirely correct: there were over
2 collectors and it was all due to ebay
there were 20,000 buyers. Not nearly all of them were collectors nor
are they today
the one thing that ebay does do is to bring casual buyers to the mix.

Claude,
I have no quarrel with any of that. But I stand by my statement.
They take us sellers for granted. I understand why sellers are
frustrated with them.

Hello, Claude,
I submit this. You don't understand our feelings because you are a

the way that ebay treats its buyers and sellers. It's not about their

While I appreciate the compliment, that was a sign of the aftermath of the
