For positive integers aa, bb, and cc with a<b<ca < b < c, consider collections of postage stamps in denominations aa, bb, and cc cents that contain at least one stamp of each denomination. If there exists such a collection that contains sub-collections worth every whole number of cents up to 10001000 cents, let f(a,b,c)f(a, b, c) be the minimum number of stamps in such a collection. Find the sum of the three least values of cc such that f(a,b,c)=97f(a, b, c) = 97 for some choice of aa and bb.
