4.0 out of 5 stars
Some concepts of pricing are antiquated,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: No. 1 Price Guide to M.I.Hummel Figurines, Plates, Miniatures, & More (Mi Hummel Figurines, Plates, Miniatures & More 10th Ed. (Mi Hummel Figurines, ... to M. I. Hummel Figurines, Plates, More...) (Paperback)
Overall, the ratings and illustrations are thorough and presented very clearly. The only reason I didn't give the price guide 5 stars, is Robert Miller's view on original boxes.
He believes that boxes have no collector value, yet in every other collector market (e.g., toy trains, Avon, Hallmark, Star Wars charecter, etc.) the original boxes sometimes exceed the value of the object, and in virtually every case, the original box substantially increases the value of an item to a collector. This value of original boxes for Lionel, Marx and other toy train boxes is so great that the boxes are counterfitted. Mr Miller does a fine job, otherwise. I believe his view that boxes have no value is just a concept that he can't grasp because he's out of touch with collectors. His thinking is based on personal optinion, and has no basis based on real life collectors. Russ S.

3.0 out of 5 stars
EBay selling prices are less than half of value shown,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: No. 1 Price Guide to M.I.Hummel Figurines, Plates, Miniatures, & More (Mi Hummel Figurines, Plates, Miniatures & More 10th Ed. (Mi Hummel Figurines, ... to M. I. Hummel Figurines, Plates, More...) (Paperback)
Book is well done with high quality full color pictures of each piece. Recommend this book to others as a go-to Hummel reference guide.
Unfortunately, prices have collapsed. Hummel pieces are selling on EBay for less than half of the values shown in the book. The book can tell you which piece is worth more than another - but the values shown are 3 or 4 times what you can buy the item for on EBay. Hummels make for a beautiful collection - but do not appear to be a great investment.

I collect Hummel figurines and find this to be one of the best authoritative guides.
