The Long Haul Project Phase 1

The “Long Haul Project” has officially begun based on spreadsheets from Pez Collector Carmine, 601 different trucks have been recorded.  While some trucks sell over $100.00 others sell for about $5.00.  
I will be beginning with the cheap ones first.  Initial estimates are showing the the Long Haul Project could cost anywhere between $7,000 - $12,000 or probably even more to complete if it is even possible.  I think I am up for even it takes the next 20 years to accomplish. So we begin with phase 1 Complete Promotional & D Series
