If an item in the listings above is bold and green that means I already own it, bold and gold is purchased pending delivery. As time permits I will get more pictures of items from my actual collection to post up here. At present I am working on getting the pages sorted and organized so as not to become one huge picture heavy page… instead I’ll make a lot of picture heavy pages lol.
