I want your opinion on an item I purchased yesterday. It is a music book, but upon opening it, found it full of many personal items from WWII. It has this persons first drivers license, certificates from variouse army training, a form letter from President Eisenhower, his stripes, loads of postcards, money from France, Germany and a lot of other items. What I am wondering is would you list all together or break it up into lots. Thanks for your advise. I value each of your opinions.

I would try to research each item that I thought might have some significant value. Then I would add up a guesstimation total on the separate items. If that was not a very high figure I would sell it as a lot.
"WWII G.I's Personal Souvenir Collection" might be a title.

It was General Eisinhower not President during WW11.
SO the letter from him had to be in the 50's

Sell as a lot. Unless you are dealing with items that have some reference to a famous person, you are going to do a lot better with selling it as a lot.
