() There were 5 issues of the WWCE "Newsletter", then he transitioned to other mailings. And parallel to those mailing were always his sales lists. Various colors of paper.
Some using the WWCE name and others using the "Star Time, Inc." name. And of course, he had "The Gambler" publication too. They overlapped. Some of the support information pieces (like mold designs, condition, etc.) made their way into the Blue Book eventually.
I have a lot of the above in a 3-ring binder in plastic pages. I also have (somewhere) his original trifold sales lists back to #1 - but I'd have to dig to find those.
Flipping through all of the above, there's an occasional handwritten message in Starr Warrick's handwriting. She handled "customer relations" more than Bill for mailings. For its time, it was an entrepreneurial operation, complete with a minicomputer (pre-PC's) in their living room. (I only met them in person once, at their apartment in Las Vegas.) That seems ages ago!
