Description
From the Book Back
What makes a toy valuable? What top experts in the field suggest you should be collecting now — and in the future. How to build and maintain a personal collection. What the different ways to collect are all about, from collectors who have spent fortunes amassing toy automobiles to the people who search out rare antique toys. How the art of toy collecting developed — and how toy manufacturing first became an important industry. Plus learn the difference between the four “Rs”: repros, restrikes, repaints, and repaired toys. Recognizing them could save you thousands of dollars! Relive a nostalgic time as you discover the magical world of toys — for fun and profit!
