<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ExoMan, post: 4971947, member: 72588&quot;]Thanks for the kindly reply, YOLO.</p><p><br /></p><p>While it generally helps for c/s collectors to have the Brunk book, the Rulau books are good, too. They both cover and picture all the &quot;classic&quot; long-documented c/s&#039;s. There are far more unattributed c/s&#039;s out there than even listed, unattributed ones. Guys like Bruce and me much enjoy solving a mystery and attaching history to these maverick c/s curiosities. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d encourage any serious c/s collector to at least purchase a cheaper Rulau token catalog, 3rd or 4th edition. The twenty year old catalog prices will at least give one a sense of relative rarity. Another good source of c/s info are online auction archives, like Stacks, Heritage, etc. </p><p><br /></p><p>Keep it in mind that there are many misattributed c/s&#039;s out there. Some older catalog listings are wrong, and many are flimsy, if not whimsical, at best. The authors, Brunk &amp; Rulau, depended largely upon hundreds of contributors, some of whom were lacking in due diligence as regards doing what I call &quot;prejudicial research.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
