   I'm still missing 2 from your list, but I now have a 2020 Tall Grass   
   Prairie.   
      
   I also have a very crisp and clear 2014D Everglades, also recently   
   acquired.  Other very crisp ones that have come my way recently include   
   2014D Shawnee, 2013D Ft McHenry, 2009D DC, and even a 1990P that looks   
   perfect except for a slight goldish tint.
