Hi Folks,
Do you think there'd be interest in a website about unusual chess
sets, something like www.odd-bikes.com or www.odd-homes.com?
Thanks,
- Jeff-

Collectors International. Their web-site is:

The only chess sets most chess players are interested in are
straightforward chess sets. Karpov used to have lots of pictures of
way out chess sets at his instantly-defunct site; he may have a
collection.
Battle of Waterloo sets, Star Wars, Simpsons, LOTR sets - yawn-
aragones!!
