<p>[QUOTE="Circus, post: 2219582, member: 51195"]Have to agree, about the price guides some are wishful thinking on the part of an author. I was once told by a guy that wrote a collectors guide that some of the people that write them have a building filled with the stuff and hoping to make a bundle! They are worth what you can get somebody to pay for it. Some items like coins, stamps and sports and non sports cards, That have a larger following and store that deal in them not to mention place that keep very good track of the selling prices of items. And have hard and fast rules on the condition of the items. The price guides are more realistic.</p><p>Then throw in the auction sites like the bay were people have the attitude about things if it is old it is worth a lot.The same tokens can be selling from .50 to $50.00 If they were found with a metal detector, the they can go thru the roof! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
