Collecting has entered a renaissance. With the end of the century fast approaching, people are scrambling for collectibles of all kinds--and since your tastes differ from those of your grandparents, you deserve a guide designed specifically with your interests in mind.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Harry Rinker, who has a radio feature called "Watcha Got?" and writes a newspaper column, "Rinker on Collectibles," is a nationally known expert on collectibles. The Official Price Guide to Collectibles covers more than 400 categories, including art pottery, barware, chintz china, hi-fi equipment, key chains, Walgreen collectibles, and hundreds of other items of interest to collectors, such as Elvis memorabilia and willowware. If you are a collector of just about anything, Harry L. Rinker: The Official Price Guide to Collectibles is indispensable. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From the Publisher

Harry Rinker isn't afraid to make waves -- and he's been chopping the water for years now! There seems to be a running dialogue about him in the "letters to the editor" column in AntiqueWeek -- readers either love him (for his honesty) or hate him (because he doesn't suffer fools gladly) -- but they sure do talk about him. Whether he's being interviewed in newspapers like the New York Times or on TV and radio, he's the authority people call on to discuss Beanie Babies, Princess Diana or Frank Sinatra collectibles -- you name it.

I first met Harry about 2 1/2 years ago -- when I went to visit him at the offices of Rinker Enterprises -- a former school in Emmaus, Pennsylvania. And he taught me a thing or two (or three) about collectibles and books on collectibles. I talk to Harry on the phone nearly every day, and I learn something new every time. Smart collectors are sure to find him one of their favorite teachers, too -- and HARRY L. RINKER THE OFFICIAL PRICE GUIDE TO COLLECTIBLES is a whole lot more fun to read than a textbook.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book to have when looking to go yard sale shopping, June 3, 2000

This review is from: Rinker on Collectibles Second Edition (Official Rinker Price Guide to Collectibles) (Paperback)
This is a wonderful book to have if you are a rookie like me and don't know junk from treasure. Doing alot of yard sales, I come across items that look like junk when in reality, they are a piece of old treasure. This book will help you know what to look for when going to yard sales, "junk" stores, etc. I bought this book looking to get educated on some past collectibles and really got ALOT more information out of it than I expected. This is the only book you will need when trying to sort through what's really worth $$ and what't worth only pennies. WELL worth the money to buy this book. :)
