ON THE DIFFICULTY OF COMPLETING A SET OF WAYTE RAYMOND STANDARD CATALOGS

Ron Pope writes: "David Gladfelter's information in last week's
E-Sylum is just what I needed concerning the Wayte Raymond Standard
Catalogs. Thanks!  Even though it is stated that none of the editions
is particularly rare, it is my assumption that a complete set of these
would still be tougher to assemble than a complete set of "Red Books,"
though, like many coins, the demand for the Standard Catalogue must
certainly be much lower. Does anyone know if this is so?"

[What do our readers think?  I would tend to agree with Ron on the
challenge of assembling a complete set of the Raymond guides.  Far
more of the Red Books were printed.  Although the early editions are
expensive, they do appear regularly for sale.  The challenge for
collectors of both books is getting examples in top condition.
These were handbooks meant to be used, and they were. -Editor]
