Synopsis

The charm of the collectables industry is obvious. Pieces of social history are being traded and collected. This is tangible nostalgia. You can buy lots of books on the subject of collectables but many of them concentrate on fancy, expensive china and hard-to-find antiques. In this book you will find a whole range of items including, beer mats, vehicle tax discs, bubble gum wrappers and theatre programmes. This is probably the most extensive work on the subject of lower value collectables.

The book is full of affordable collectables and the majority are perfect for trading.

As well as a fabulous trip down memory lane, the book is designed to inform, educate and entertain.

You will find thousands of items that can be found at car boot sales, collectors' fairs and on internet auction websites.

As you move from one page to another, you are likely to be surprised by the diversity of the subject matter. Whoever would believe that people collect old car park tickets? And, yes, there really are collectors who will pay over £1000 for an old tax disc.

Every item in the book has been individually sourced, researched and photographed. In many cases, similar items had been sold via our auction magazine 'Collecticus'. Actual sale prices helped in referencing the estimated values.

The 'business plan' section could help you make a profit if you buy and sell collectables.

The book has been compiled by the Collecticus Magazine editorial team and is designed to help readers establish values of a whole range of collectable items, particularly where no published guide previously existed.
