Dave's Cosmic Encounter Collection

I'm still trying to fill out my international sets - it seems near impossible, many are out of print and seem to have disappeared.

I also maintain a comprehensive list of all versions of Cosmic Encounter.

Here's a photo of the collection at it's peak before I sold off a big chunk of the extras. And here's an older photo of the whole collection (and without captions)

WANTED:

I will happily trade/pay money for:
1. Anything on the version list that I don't have
2. Any info/copies of the prototypes or "unknown sets"
3. Anything that is mint or unopened
