Default 1980 F.R.O.G.S. Kits Have Arrived

I recently won a lot on Ebay that was comprised of 9 of these kits from 1980. The reason I was interested in them was for their Alpha kits, as these make great first-time kits for beginner rocketeers, and we frequently have kids from the neighborhood tag along to launches. I thought these would be perfect to give to these kids to help spark an interest in rocketry and science. The other nice thing about these kits is that they contain 1980 Estes catalogs in dead mint condition. Those of you who collect Estes catalogs will know that 1980 was the first catalog produced with a cover printed on exactly the same (thin) paper as was used for the inner pages................and as a result of this, these catalogs usually have worn, torn or creased covers.

I won't be needing all of these kits, so I will offer a few for sale to members of this forum. I have a very few of the following:

1980 catalogs, mint condition...................3 left, priced at $10 each (includes shipping)
1980 FROGS kit, opened, Alpha kit opened but complete..................only one left
1980 FROGS kit, opened, Alpha kit sealed............................................ ..only one left
1980 FROGS kit, sealed............................................ ....................................only one left

Of course, each of the FROGS kits also contains a mint 1980 catalog. If anyone has an interest in any of the above please PM me.
