CORRECTIONS AND REVISIONS

NOTE: These revisions only apply to the first edition. For Revisions and Corrections to the second edition, click here.

REVISED DOWNLOADABLE PRICE LISTS:

NOTE: The price list in the first edition of the collectors guide was not updated after the second edition was published.
Therefore, I suggest that you refer to the totally revised and updated downloadable price guide for the second edition.
The item numbers in both editions of the book and the item numbers in the internet museum are the same so the revised values in this page will apply to both editions of the book.
