<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cwtokenman, post: 238599, member: 2100&quot;]To provide an idea as to how much information there may be available for a given topic, here are just two examples of how many pages are in a couple of my larger specific topic references.</p><p><br /></p><p>Pennsylvania Merchant tokens - 1253 pages - 8.5 x 11</p><p><br /></p><p>Atwood Coffee Cataloge of Transportation tokens - (3 volume set)</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; Vol. 1 - The listing - 845 pages 6x9 (no pictures)</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; Vol. 2 - History &amp; Encyclopedia - 774 pages 6x9 (some pictures)</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; Vol. 3 - Minor Die Varieties - 946 pages 6x9 (lots of pictures)</p><p>That is 2565 total pages for transit tokens.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just trying to give you a feel for the vastness of token types and varieties. One book can not possibly cover all tokens. Few books provide (current) values for tokens. Rulau&#039;s and Kanzinger&#039;s are about as current as any. Even searching for completed auctions on ebay can be difficult as the vast majority of tokens are so seldom offered. I have one reference that refers to populations (of that type of token) as small as 6 known to be considered &quot;common&quot;, so you can imagine there could still be difficulty in locating one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
