Below are some statistics about Olympics labels.
How to count them? DuBois' numbering is inconsistent (I know, he inherited the
system
from an earlier list). Sometimes different colors get separate numbers,
sometimes
just separate letters, occasionally just notes. I've decided every variation is
a separate label, i.e., if you had a COMPLETE collection, and counted each
separable
item, how many would you have? This still leaves some room for debate - is a
full
sheet
of multiple designs a separate item too? Whatever. The numbers are
approximate. The notation "plus" means there are additional varieties, or
additional labels that I consider peripheral or optional.
