Either make copies and donate them or sell them to the ORCA Library. We shouldn't let this kinda stuff get away! My suggestion!

Harvey...
That's a welcome suggestion-I'll put a set together which I'll donate to ORCA-glad to see that even a Shakespeare collector recognizes the historical importance of Garcia Mitchell. Life is good.

Harvey,
They are nice fold outs for the Mitchell reels. I almost bought the set but then would have to buy the reels to match! I settled for the ones to fill the reels w/boxes I have. Bill and Dennis had a GREAT set-up at the Allentown Show. Well worth the drive. Anything to add to ORCA to help present and future collectors is a god-send...

Yes, as far as I am concerned, The Library is one of the largest asset that he club has to offer.. As Librarian, I had a saying that hold true to we collectors, and junk dealers alike, ’What we save today, we won’t be looking for tomorrow“.

Even though the paper work in question may be only thirty or so years old, in five years, it will be about the same age as me!

We all should consider donating copies of everything that we have to the Library for future use. Nothing would please me more than for Dom to have to build on another room to keep it in. (Just kidding Dom.)
