I don't recall too many coloured ones, but        those, in good condition could fetch a good price. The ones        with "photo" sleeves are also decent collectible prices; I        might just have about 20 of those.       --        ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.51        * Origin: Creditors have better memories than debtors.
