In the world of collectibles, there’s something to suit
every budget, and this is the definitive, must-have guide
to pricing it all—from games, toys, tools, comics, and
posters to the more traditional ceramics, silver, and glass.
Edited by the famed Judith Miller, along with an expert from
the British Antiques Roadshow, it features 5,000
brand-new items displayed in full-color pictures accompanied
by the actual price paid or asked over the last year at more
than 350 auction houses and dealers around the world. And
now, the information is especially geared to the U.S.
market, with prices shown in U.S. dollars and introductory
sections covering such subjects as American toys and
pottery. As always, the material is revised to stay
completely up-to-date with collecting and buying trends.
Invaluable special features explain why one piece is worth
more than another, show how to value an item, and teach you
to be your own appraiser. Additional collecting information
is provided on factories, makers, care, restorations, fakes
and alterations, market assessments, and buying tips. Plus,
the book’s new, larger size makes identification and valuing
easier than ever!
