The Scottish set are much rarer and as follows:
|
Catalogue Value: The English set is listed as £72.00 a set (£3.00 per card) catalogue Murray 2008 for the English version. Murray doesn’t list the Scottish variety, but they tend to fetch 3 or 4 times the value of the English version. Therefore the cards in this book have a catalogue value of around £216 (£9.00 per card) as listed in LCCC catalogue. May I say a special thank you to a fellow TT collector who lent me this booklet as I was unable to obtain one myself at the time of print. He also gave me 6 copies of the Topical Time that I didn’t have. Thank You so much Mr Robert Wilson of Edinburgh. |
