Here’s a simply spectacular lot for non-sport collectors, with so many different genres represented along with several complete sets, near sets and partial sets, most in truly impressive grades that make this a unique and unprecedented opportunity. From the legendary roster of planes, trains, automobiles, rockets, flags, license plates and more to the cultural icons like Elvis, Davy Crockett, Mars Attacks, TV and film stars, and all the gory wartime exploits, the massive lot is extraordinary in both depth and scope.
