Latest Revised Downloadable Price List For: Perera's Telegraph Collector's
Guide (2nd. Edition)

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.)
