The 9th and latest edition of this invaluable guide for all toy collectors. Using a unique pricing/value system, the 700 page volume covers all types of toys from action figures to BB guns, Erector Sets, and dollhouses to tin wind-ups, trains, yo-yo's, etc., etc. There are over 49,000 current prices presented ! Features 3,500 black and white pictures as well as a 16 page color section. Toys from as early as the 1880s up to today are included. A very complete Table of Contents facilitates locating specific items. Provides a ton of items. Very useful.

This review is from: O'Brien's Collecting Toys: Identification and Value Guide (9th Ed) (Paperback)
O'Brien's Collecting Toys covers an awful lot of ground and does it well. Whether you are a collector or a dealer you MUST have this book to be on the same page everyone else is when evaluating the values of most antique and vintage toys. While the book does cover many of the popular toys and manufacturers, it does have many ommissions, at least in the area of tin windups. In the future I'd like to see more toys added, and other manufacturers included..most notably Guntherman, Marklin, Martin, Arnold. A more intuitive listing of the toys would also help as it can sometimes be difficult to find the toy you're looking for.
