Many "thematic" collectors love to "contaminate" their collection with different materials, this gives a sense of cultural depth to the collection and makes it more varied and fun. Over the years, our association has refined a transversal cataloging system (TTC), that is, for each theme the result of objects pertaining to different collections is given. As far as we know it is the first attempt in the world of its kind and we will need more than ever the precious contribution of collectors.
