I am selling my collection of catalog reprints that I've purchased over the years from Chuck Schmidt @ Velo-Retro. These are mint, in like-new condition and if purchased individually would add up to $132 plus shipping. I've listed each item below, along with a description and the Velo-Retro price. I will see the entire lot for $60, which includes shipping via USPS Media Mail within the lower 48. International postage at cost. Paypal friendly.
