Hallmark Keepsake Ornament Value Guide 1973-2005 - Collector's Edition for Tracking Ornament Values | Perfect for Christmas Decor Collectors & Holiday Investors

I needed to figure out ornaments I lost in a fire. This book was very helpful. I could go through and highlight what I had.I bought this just to help me keep track of which ornaments I have and which ones I have bought my daughters..It was used and in pretty good condition.This product was exactly as advertised. The condition was accurately stated. It is suitable for my purposes. If only I could locate a similar item which addressed collectible Hallmark items beyond 2005, the last date in this one.Great guide to Hallmark Keepsake ornaments of the past. Are there any published since 2005? Recommended for Christmas ornament collectors.I had an older edition of this book, but this one brings me closer to being up to date in valuing my Hallmark Ornament Collection. The book is very well laid out and ornaments are easy to find in the book.Excellent book/content & prices. However, I purchased this book to update another version of Hallmark Ornament collectibles. What is missing (in comparison) is a grid within the book to track purchase price & re-sale price. This book has excellent pictures and is easy to search.But the guide is only accurate if the market is not saturated and the buyer appreciates the item that much. I ended up selling all of my ornaments for a tenth of their value.I am very pleased with this book. I am surprised how much my ornaments are worth. Received it yesterday, 5/4/15. Thank you.This is a nice book that documents all the Hallmark Ornaments from 1973-2005, and whilst it is informative, the pictures are a little on the tiny side, and the values are all in US Dollars (as with most of the collectors guides) which is pants.Being totally honest, if you collect this is a nice book for you, but if you are hoping to find out to the penny what your collections are worth, I would avoid it.
