Miller's Collectables Price Guide 2002/2003 celebrates the ever-expanding world of collecting in the 21st century. With more and more television series', magazines and web-sites being dedicated to bargain hunting everyday – collecting has become one of the most popular pastimes in Britain. Catering for every taste and every pocket, with collectables from 50 pence to objects worth thousands of pounds; Miller's Collectabl Price Guide remains Britain's most popular and definitive guide to contemporary collecting.
This brand-new edition, with 6,000 completely new entries, reflects all the latest collecting trends; we look at the history of hot air ballooning, Vintage clothing and examine ephemeral collectables such as newspapers, concert tickets and Christmas cards – the guide reports that first ever Christmas card from 1843, recently made a record-breaking price of £22,350 at auction.
For the first time in this edition there is a crime section which features the macabre hobby of collecting memorabilia on famous criminals and murderers. Docteur Marcel Petiot was France's most diabolical serial killer and the last man ever to be guillotined – a prescription on his headed notepaper from 1939 is valued at £600 in the guide. There is a special feature about collectables from the service industries including the police force and the fire service.
The popular Record Breakers section tells the intriguing stories behind the collectables that have achieved world record prices at auction. This year's guide includes a Thunderbirds Parker Puppet from the 1960's that made £38,000 at auction and a FA Cup winner's gold medal presented to Stanley Matthews in 1953 that made £23,500.
Other more unusual collectables to be found in Millers Collectables Price Guide 2002/2003 include hot water bottles, poison flasks, collectable lavatories, railwayana, cosmetic accessories, collectable owls and Tupperware. No other book brings together such an amalgamation of objects and subjects!
With around 100,000 copies of last year's edition sold so far, Miller's Collectables Price Guide 2002/2003 is still as popular as ever. This guide will lead you from the collectables of the past to those of the future, providing the essential guide for every collector.
