Almost a year's worth of catching up is about to commence.

And 2013 is going to be the last year of the catalog. It's gotten too tedious, which is why I haven't updated it in a while.

EDIT: Unless stated otherwise, these finds are in the "recoverable" category. Forgot to add that to most of the catalog entries.

------------------------------------

Article gives no indication if this is a recoverable amount or an OIP amount, so I'll be conservative and assume it's OIP.
