interesting facts on the items. For example, did you know there are
(at least) 5 variations of the Medium Mouse? Only the Descriptions and
Photos in this book allow the collector to accurately distinguish the
differences among the variations of the Medium Mouse. These variations can
have a big impact on the ERV, the lowest variation having an ERV of $115
and the highest one having an ERV of $3000!
