For the first time, here's a comprehensive title
list and catalog for Keystone's various World War stereoview sets. It's
just been published and is drawing rave reviews from collectors AND
dealers...an absolute "must-have" for accurate pricing and
evaluation.
Each set from 1915 to the culminating 1932 Set of 400 is fully
described, showing variations and how it developed from the previous
set. Over 120 pictures are included. There is a complete title list for
each of the seven principal sets, as well as a list by card number
showing what sets each one appeared in. The book will enable anyone to
date Keystone stereographs and to separate the common WW1 sets and
stereo cards from the scarce ones.
Dealers and collectors alike will profit from the catalog section that
shows how common or rare each individual card is and offers a means to
calculate fair market value. Why waste eBay listing fees on cards that
appeared in every Keystone set for 20 years? Even worse, why pay premium
prices for cards like that? What is the best strategy to assemble a
collection at the lowest cost? This is THE indispensable reference for
the collector of WWI stereoscope cards.
The book is available from the author for $17.95 postpaid.
