4.0 out of 5 stars Great for general price guidelines, April 28, 1999

This review is from: Official Price Guide to Collector Plates, 6th Edition (Paperback)

Great, some illustrations, some tips for buying and selling, however, not updated for the internet. Some prices are off the wall but overall a good reference.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Short Review of the 6th Edition, August 17, 2006

This review is from: Official Price Guide to Collector Plates, 6th Edition (Paperback)

I found this book very helpful. It is comprehensive in its coverage. It is somewhat difficult to find plates and could be better organized. The pricing should be more current. Plates from 1990 to 2001 should at least have going rates listed,not New Issue. Most readers are trying to get an idea of the value of their collection. On P.7, the author says that RI means issued in the last five years. Many plates issued as long ago as 1992 have NI. I found most of the values listed NR and BR to be fairly accurate.
