PT Miscellaneous Newsletters

  • Newsletters were sent to you via mail if you were part of the Fan Club.
  • Clicking on the pictures on the left will give you a larger image.
  • Some things have been taken off of each newsletter here, because they are fairly easy to reproduce.
  • We have given you most of the news in our little write-up on each. Some things that are notable or that did not come true and are interesting tid bits are in (parentheses).
  • There are no values because of everything collected, items like these carry the greatest range. Some people love them; some find them wothless. Needless to say, older ones are rarer and more valuable than newer ones.
