Yes, Twenty Two Volumes and three hundred pounds.
It should have a set of dolly wheels and a small portable hoist.
A better thought, hire a Swedish au-pair girl to push my wheelchair
around and read the fine print for me.

You can use Colnect and Stampworld to find issues by identification since Scott is not 100% illustrated. I usually search by denomination to get thumbnails of images to browse. How much you see is based upon membership (did not sign in, signed in but do not play, paid membership).
