Number of changes: 9
Changes are marked to the right of affected items.
(Item numbers refer to items in the book.)
(Values are prices the average collector would pay.)
The following note was added on: 03-01-1999
The prices on this list represent the prices that an
AVERAGE collector would pay for an item.
Internet auctions with their huge bidder base often
bring much higher prices.
However, the RELATIVE prices remain the same.
(That is: a low value key will remain proportionally lower in value
than a high value key even though the overall prices may shift upward
in internet auctions.)
