2.0 out of 5 stars Official Price Guide to Collector Plates, November 26, 1999
By A Customer
Disappointed, Was not up to date. Did not have complete listings of series. Plates as far back as 1993 are listed as recent issue. secondary prices don't seem to be updated.

2.0 out of 5 stars Vague, April 6, 2002
By "modon" (Ellisville, Missouri United States) - See all my reviews
I was not happy with all the items marked NA(not available), RI(recent issue), etc. The book, in my opinion, is not up to date & has very little value to someone who wants to price out their collection

4.0 out of 5 stars A great reference for plate collectors!, November 18, 2001
By junkgalore.com (Mentone, AL 35984) - See all my reviews
This book is a great reference for plate collectors. Although an update is probably due, the book still offers information that holds in today's market. After pricing and selling some 200 collector plates, I have found the prices in the book to be "on the mark". Don't hesitate to add this to your resource collection.
