There are also books on collectiog as well as many part completed sets which are not yet listed.
His collection is probably the most interesting one to have become available for many decades. His 'Card List' contains some 1544 sets, though I do not know how many are incomplete.
Since his death his collection has been with my brother in Madeley, near Stoke-on-Trent. We have now decided to sell the colection, so I am listing it on-line.
As I reside in Dorset, I do not yet have access to this large collection of well over 1500 valuable sets. The listing is being done from my father's notes which are somewhat inconsistent so there will be errors and misunderstandings in the transciption. Often features such as back colour are not listed in the original notes.
