Ask the Experts Guide to Collectibles aims to provide collectors with the most accessible guide to identifying and assessing collectible pieces in the most popular categories of items, including ceramics, glass, toys and games, household accessories, and entertainment and sports. The book offers an instant visual guide to which pieces are the most sought after and valuable, the "What's Hot?" pieces, which items are worth considering for adding to or keeping in your collection, the "Core Collection" pieces, and which items are likely to be easy to find and cheaper to start off a collection, the "Starter Buys." In addition, supporting devices give the reader key information on how to recognize good and bad pieces and answer the questions that are commonly asked about the category. The book also points you in the right direction for expanding your interest by drawing your attention to other pieces of interest.
