854*oAn original collection/accumulation of thousands of singles and sets identified and cataloged over the years on hundreds of 3x5 or smaller stockcards, but last cataloged in 1981 at the top of the market. Grouped by area or country, best are Benelux, Scandinavia, British, Germany, France, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, and Japan, then five other parts of the world.
