Will do tonight. I'm usually pretty good at these, and this one I did
take some care since I've got the copyright date and the publication
number.

Might as well let this one rest. I have no idea what happened, I wish I
had picked up the set, it's kind of nice (I do have one I got off eBay
w/o box).

Ok, the 4x4 plates are what got missed. I got this set sort of piecemeal
(from Terry Cruse, all the trees, roadplates, and signs he was selling
must have come from this set, when I bought a bunch of stuff from him,
some of it came in one of the boxes).

Oops, I'll have to dig out more. It's the 1999 Basic set with the Timmy
with the green wizard's hat. I'll take a picture. I think it was $19.95.

Came with 4 copies of the bag, marked 6427.
