Celebrating the collectible--that 20th-century object that brings with it less monetary value than passion, nostalgia, quirky appeal, and just plain pleasure--ANTIQUES ROADSHOW COLLECTIBLES focuses on 12 major areas that inspire both the thrill of the chase and the thrill of discovery: furniture, photographs, posters and illustration art, costume jewelry and wristwatches, dolls, toys, advertising memorabilia, sports, glass and pottery, and more. A guide to value rather than price, it is packed with a wealth of information that will help turn any interested flea market fiend into a first-class collector. From the innovative design of Bertoia chairs to the high-quality crafting of costume jewely to the surprising variety of PEZ dispensers, here are 416 pages brimming with information. Bound into the book is a 32-page full-color section, while hundreds of black-and-white photographs illustrate every chapter. There are Antiques Roadshow discoveries, tips from experts and appraisers, the steps to becoming a focused collector--even how to use pieces without compromising their value. After all, isn't it more fun to eat off the Fiesta ware?

From the Back Cover
Brimming on every page with lively authority and expertise, photographs and insider details, this is the indispensible introductory guide to twentieth-century collectibles from Antiques Roadshow, the PBS phenomenon that has turned America into a nation of treasure hunters.
A guide to value and expertise, it tells you what to look for on those quirky modern objects that inspire passion, nostalgia, and a pure need to acquire here's how to evaluate ceramics like an expert. A ten-point grading system for wrist-watches. And the answer to the riddle: When is a used object valued more highly than the same object in mint condition?
Throughout, there are tips from experts, charts, who's whos of designers and manufacturers, and guides to materials. Plus there is a 32-page full-color section featuring key examples from every category.
