Collecting collectibles on the cheap Free Sports Memorabilia: Where to Get It by Elizabeth B. Fulgaro and John M. Fulgaro published by Betterway Publications, 1991 My three boys - and, it seem s, most of their friends - have been hit by the prevalent passion for baseball cards and other sp o rts-related col lectibles. They all love baseball: they play on teams, practice in the back yard, watch the Jays on TV and lis ten to games on the radio. And in between times, they collect and trade and gloat over th eir baseball card collections. But collecting can be an expen sive hobby. T h at's why they were delighted with this book on getting collectible items at little or no cost. To quote Matthew, age 14: " It has a lot of ideas I hadn't thought of. It even includes sample letters that you can ju s t copy and send off, and if you d o n 't know w here to send it, th e re 's a list o f a d d re s se s in the back." / j o in 18 Today At __ ¥ )u can lose a lot more than your licence drinking and driving.

It encourages young fans to branch out from ihf very commer c ialized card s to c o lle c tin g item s such as old uniform^ and equipment, gam e p ro g r a m s ,J p e n n a n ts and p o sters. M any o f/th e se are fairly easy to g et at liu lc c o st, and the authors tell the readers exactly how to go about it. Another u se fu l s e c tio n is th e in v en to ry at^th e end o f the book which helps collectors organize and keep track o f the items they've accu m ulated. The address list includes not only all the major-league teams, but minor league ones as well, plus the addresses of companies who pro duce sports cards and other prom o tional m aterial. W hile the book is American, it includes most Canadian teams, such as the Canadian Soccer League and the Canadian Football L eag u e. A n o th e r s e c tio n g iv e s advice to young collectors, encour aging them to focus on the pleasures of having special reminders of their fav o rite sports and players ra th e r than seeing it as a p ro fit-m ak in g enterprise. I can tell this book is a hit because it looks battered and dog-eared after only a couple of weeks in our house. Matt says: "It's got lots of suggestions to help you improve your collection and to help you enjoy collecting." POINT BREAK (AA) (Dolby Stereo). Coarse Language. Violence. Evenings 7:15 4 9:40.
