Thanks Chuck for the additional pics of your Windosr sets, the Lisa Lane pics and the 1964 North Central Open in Milwaukee pics. No other plastic set has such an impressive historic background. Honarable mention to the Drueke "Players Choice" plastic set. Have you seen the crazy prices these sets are getting on Ebay?

You're very welcome!

Which pieces and prices are you referring to? I saw one Windsor Castle set very recently that had a premium attached to it because it had been owned by an American Player of some note.
