100?
Trevor Cotterell has provided a long list of addition items from this collection - Nos. 1 to 17, 45, 50 and 51. The first two images were taken from a scrapbook and are missing the heading shown with the other two examples, three of the signed photos have been dedicated to 'Eagle Readers.'
UPDATE (03-04-2023 20:09): Lots of names added to the checklist, thanks to an anonymous comment. I am hopeful of completing this checklist later this week.
