[QUOTE="kaparthy, post: 1847328, member: 57463"]If you have not seen the Bowers book, then how can you know that the old books by the Fulds are better? I agree that as with Bust Halfs or other series, the aficianado has all of the references. The Bowers book continues the works of the Fulds, and has an introductory essay by the late George Fuld. It is not unusual for an avid collector to have items that are not in the standard catalogs. With CWTs in particular, the Fulds themselves knew that their catalogs were never complete because new issues were always being discovered... one here... one there... In fact, any area of numismatics where all the examples are completely known and thoroughly identified would have to be moribund: no more work can be done. My review of the Bowers book will appear in the Winter 2014 issue of the MSNS [I]Mich-Matist[/I].[/QUOTE]
