John - I didn't know that! Is there a summary somewhere as to what the
prefixes indicate (H = history, etc) and how you'd know what the number
of the complete set was?  I've seen a few cards with a table on the
back indicating what the card number was for the various sets, but 
never had thought about having all that information in one place.


Bob,

I know that H is for the History set and P is for the primary set, and
if I looked at a few other views at home I'd probably recall other
one-letter set designations and their meanings.  I've seen the complete
History set offered for sale, so that's how I knew it had 300 views,
and I think John Waldsmith's book gives the size of the History set
too.  Rusty Norton had a History set in his most recent boxed set list,
but it might be sold.  No flea market prices, but lots of neat sets.
Send SASE to Russell and ask for a list if you're interested in boxed
sets.

Tables on the back of Keystone views refer to their positions in
various sized World Tour sets.  A given view might be position 34 in
the 300 card set and 61 or whatever in the 600 card set.  They gave
this up in later years and just used the 1200 card set numbering on the
smaller Tour sets. Thus an earlier 600 card Tour will be numbered
1-600, while a later 600 card Tour will be numbered 1-1200 with 600
cards "missing".
