5.0 out of 5 stars Backwoods coupon clipper thrives in art and antique world!, June 11, 1999

By A Customer

The 1999 6th Edition of Toys & Prices is a treasure in itself covering 928 pages of potential money. Resist reading the right side of price listings much like a menu. Realizing current retail prices listed may vary,we understand the book is to serve as a guide not a bible. Study the Grading Guides which hold vital info and abbreviations.

From the A-Team to Zorro, accumulative knowldege renders you more powerful than ever in your trek thru Goowill and garage sales. Behind your new poker face rests the knowledge that this is potential money. I can live with that.

2.0 out of 5 stars A little about a lot of things, but not much about anything, April 27, 2000

By	Amber Senger (Roseburg, Or USA) - See all my reviews

This book is ok, if you want to know just a little about a lot of things and not much about anything... I was disapointed at all the collectible toys they left out... Too much on hot wheels, beanies and old tin toys and not enough on Barbie, Fisher Price etc. Nothing on Transformers, Slot Cars or other popular collectibles. Prices do not jive with Schroeders or current market. Photos ok, but not great. A ok book if you want to know just a little about some things. I was disapointed, I returned my copy...

5.0 out of 5 stars Hunt For Those Toy Treasures!, March 16, 2005

By	Shirley Priscilla Johnson "Author/Reviewer -... (USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

Are you wondering what to do with all those old toys that are up in your attic? Before you sell them at your next garage sale, or pitch them in the trash; I'd recommend that you check out their value.
Toys & Prices is a great book to give you some idea of what treasures you may have in your home. The book is packed full of information on the value of toys such as the Match box cars, board games, coloring books and even lunch boxes. I was amazed at what was collectable and sighed knowing what I had sold at last months garage sale.
I recommend this book, it's full of interesting information and also has some identifying pictures to help you along. Good treasure hunting to you!
