Latest Revised Downloadable Price List For: Perera's Telegraph Collector's Guide (3rd. Edition)
Original publication date: 01-10-2008

NOTE: The WORLD ECONOMIC CRISIS and the decrease in the value of the dollar
has necessitated a major revision in key prices. This represents a decrease in value of about 1/3
The price list has been revised on 04-16-2008 and is shown below:

The prices on this list represent the prices that an AVERAGE auction-savvy collector would pay for an item.

Internet auctions with their huge bidder base often bring much higher prices or conversely, they turn up so many of an item that its price drops as bidders realize that the item is not as scarce as they thought. However, the RELATIVE prices remain the same.

(That is; a low value key will remain proportionally lower in value than a high value key even though the OVERALL prices may shift upward or downward in response to the economy or to internet auctions.)


Changes are marked to the right of original items.
(Item numbers refer to items in the book or in the w1tp.com museum.)
(Values are prices the average ebay-savvy collector would pay.)
