@priit: You copied almost all

@priit: You copied almost all 30 vintage Miss Chiquita labels (1972–1987) into the current catalogue entry with the Miss Chiquita design that has been used since 2011. Unfortunately, this is not a good approach, because it mixes clearly separated periods of use. The catalogue entries become unnecessarily large and the labels are harder to find. In addition, the same label is shown multiple times, which is confusing from a collecting perspective.

As a rule, we show each label only once in the catalogue. We only use two catalogue entries if, for example, we want to document a new designed main label additionally in its use within a set. Or if the banana brand and the importer are printed with equal prominence and no clear assignment to one of the two search criteria is possible

I have therefore reverted the changes.
