32 - PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, October 8, 1991 "Kids only" card swap to be held at Blackstock Town Hall, Oct. 27 Young card collectors are go- ing to be trading cards, with- out dealer mark-ups, on Sun- day Oct. 27 at the old Blackstock Town Hall on Scu- gog Street. Organized by two area young collectors, the card swap is scheduled to run from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., with door priz- es, special draws and refresh- ments available throughout the afternoon. The organizers for the card swap are brothers Luke and Josh Martyn from Blackstock. Both are avid baseball card col- lectors, with interests in other cards as well. The idea for a kids-only card swap came about as both brothers experienced frustra- tion of trading cards primarily at card shops. Most shops have minimal interest in trading, and when they do, they allow "wholesale" price for cards they get, and charge the "re- tail" price for the cards they give. According to Luke Martyn, he understands why the shops must do this to stay in busi- ness, but as he says, "It makes it hard to get specific cards at a reasonable cost to complete a set." Card shows usually involve similar arrangements, with the traders being adults who are in business. "We want card collectors, not dealers, for our swap," says Josh. When other collectors voiced similar frustrations with the brothers, they decided to do something about it. They rent- ed the Town Hall and will have tables set up for traders to set out their cards for trading pur- poses. Operating on a limited bud- get, they are posting flyers around the area to promote the event. Admission for the swap is $2 per person, with an inno- vative twist in terms of admis- sion eligibility.

The second game saw Black- stock and Emmersons battle to a 2-2 draw after regulation time.

Approximately thirty eager members showed up. While people arrived we played a get acquainted game. After everyone was settled down, we divided into two groups, one that will meet Tuesday nights and the other Thursday nights. My club (The Thursday night crew) then elected the executive as follows: President: Lisa Gilbank, Vice President: Heather Goulding, Secretary: Jody Crisp and Press Reporter: Jill VanCamp. During the next activity most of us found out that we have to include more calcium in our diet. If your calcium intake is low, here is a calcium booster for you. Grate cheese over hot vege- tables or as a garnish on soup. Next, we headed for the kitch- en and half of us made veget- able pizza, while the other half made Nachos. After tasting these goodies we adjourned the meeting and headed for home. Stay tuned. I'll keep you updated on calcium boosters and milk facts. ter only if Bec nanicd by a card-swapping kid, who is in turn responsible for the adult's conduct. As Luke is careful to point out, "It's a swap that our friends and other kid traders will attend and trade with each other." The brothers anticipate that most people will want to trade cards, although some may want to buy or sell cards as well. Traders will be able to buy and sell with each other as traders, not as business peo- ple, and can therefore make deals at wholesale to wholesale values. The Martyn brothers are hopeful that there will be a good turn-out of traders with varied card interests. If anyone has any questions regarding the event, they are encouraged to call 986-5952 after school or on the weekends and ask for Luke or Josh. The old Town Hall is located on the west side of Scugog Street, in Black- stock, just south of the stop sign at Church Street. - CANADA SAVINGS BONDS "Scugog 's Community Newspaper of Choice" Port Perry Counselling Services MEDICAL ASSOCIATES, 462 PAXTON ST.
