Lodge 118: Minsi Chapter Demystified
Did you think I was really done with all the posts about Wahissa lodge issues? After having so little to report here for quite some time, it seems I am overflowing with new information. There is probably one or two more Wahissa related posts to follow this one.
Thanks to Travis Gentry, I now turn my focus to Minsi chapter. Blue Book already listed three items for this chapter, X1 through X3, but had the ordered muddled. For better or worse, it has been the policy of Blue Book — and I generally agree — not to change catalogue labels once published. Once the number is set it stone, so to speak, it does not change. This avoids the confusion of different labels referring to different issues, depending on what edition one is using. Instead comments can be added to indicate the correct order of issuance when the catalog numbers do not accurately reflect this.
In addition to the comments to correct the issue order, Travis sent images of several additional issues to be added to this chapters listings.
The listing data for this chapter’s issues are shown in the table below. This includes both previously listed issues as well as issues new to this site. Additions to previous listing as show in bold.
