This is a work in progress and am making no claims that this is a definitive list so suggestions, corrections, additions are welcome!(email me here). There is a link to my sources at the end of this list. 

Many thanks to Vectis Auctions Ltd for permission to use photos from their substantial past auction photo archive for this list(sets and set figures already appearing in photos on my site do not have a photo link).
