I don't have a piece breakdown (yet), but I do have a dollar breakdown...
1983 - $85
1984 - $275
1985 - $200
1986 - $175
1987 - $200
1988 - $200
1989 - $125
1990 - $35
1991 - $125
1992 - $150
1993 - $425
1994 - $150
1995 - $150
1996 - $350
1997 - $150
1998 - $250
1999 - $575
2000 - $725
2001 - $125 to date
Total - $4,470
Not a staggering amount, but not insignificant either. It's interesting to
