<p>Maps are one thing, but seeing all the other peripheral items out there, wow. I want it all but really have to be picky as to what additional "collections" I can afford (and have room for).</p>
<p>Nick was a great help to me in getting those early Volume Indexes. I got several Map Indexes and a few other items from John.</p>

<p>So Mel have you communicated with seller about anything regarding this set?</p>
<p>I'd love to know what method or whatnot he employed to achieve the font (category) titling on the cases....</p>

<p>It is, Tom.</p>
<p>Someone devoted a lot of time putting this together.</p>
<p>It's another, very nice, way of collecting "something" about the NGM production that is uniquely different than any way I've seen fit to collect.</p>
<p>I even considered trying to obtain this - but then, it is not complete (as by the seller's own description) and I visualize maps that might fit into more than one category (requiring duplicate purchases), etc., etc.</p>

<p>Not sure I want to devote the time and energy to complete this "form" of collection, as nice as it is.</p>
<p>******</p>
<p>Kind of a different, but similar thought:</p>
<p>This really makes me wonder about those who came before us that collected "everything" under the sun NGM, catalogued it and wrote a book (or created a web site) about it.</p>
<p>Buxbaum, Nathan, Smith to name a few book writers and someone like John Carey (<a href="http://www.jbcarey.net/">http://www.jbcarey.net/</a> ) and his detailed listings on his web site (that I use for research).</p>
<p>And also dealers like Nick Koopman with 34,000 items in his inventory - wow!</p>
<p>How did/do they ever do it?</p>
