How does the Harry L. Rinker Official® Price Guide to Collectibes differ from other general antiques and collectibles price guides? First, it focuses on the heart of today's antiques, collectibles, and desirables market--the period between 1920 and the present. Between 80% and 85% of all the material found at auctions, flea markets, antiques malls, shops, and shows dates from this period...

Second, it is comprehensive. This book is filled with the things with which your parents, you, and your children lived and played. Nothing is missing. You will find furniture, decorative accessories, and giftware along with the traditional character and personality items, ceramics, glass, and toys....

Over the years I have developed a reputation in the trade for being extremely opinionated and outspoken. I call 'em like I see 'em.... You will not find any artificial price propping in this book. If prices within a category are being manipulated or highly speculative, I spell it out. Whether you agree or not is not the issue. Unlike the good news price guides, the Harry L. Rinker Official® Price Guide to Collectibes is designed to make you think.
