No duplicates but there are stock tokens with minor varieties. There are also branded tokens with varieties though most of these are significant varieties.
These include many of the old time tokens. I'll throw in some miscellany including catalogs.
I need $590 plus $20 postage. This is a huge collection that will probably have to be sent in two shipments. They are housed in 1 1/2 by 1 1/2 or 2 by two holders and in 30 and twenty slot pages. Will even throw in some pages and holders on request. Most of these tokens were acquired back in the '80's and '90's.

I know there are many items, but any group pics?
I am a newer collector (started April 2020), and I primarily focus on U.S. Half Cents and Type Coins. Early copper is my favorite.
This is not impossible but it would be very difficult for me. It would be much easier to describe the condition and how they are displayed. I could count more as well. The plastic sleeves are all hand picked but used and in good condition. The holders are mostly all brand new but many (especially the more expensive ones) were retained in their holders. I rarely write anything on holders. I have binders for these but didn't offer to include them because of the postage costs and some of the binders are not top quality.
All the tokens are different in that they all came from different die pairs (probably). Many of the stock tokens are represented numerous times because they were made in many different orders.
I would strongly recommend these tokens for a beginner or even collectors with collections containing up to about 3000 pieces. These were mostly obtained in trades but several hundred were picked out of dealer stock. I seriously doubt there will be substantial numbers of rare tokens because of the way they were obtained. It is more like a great starter set or a set to combine with smaller collections hence the very low price.
More of the older tokens came from dealer stock and often by dealers who had no idea what they were much less their value so there could be more tough tokens in these.
My in-box of amusement tokens will be thrown in as well. ... There must be at least a couple hundred of these but with some duplication.
