De Courtivron's Collectible Coca-Cola Toy Tuckts by Gael De Courtivron, Lara De ;Courtivron (1995, Hardcover)

Book was what we were looking for. It met our expectations and fulfilled our needs. However, as a price guide, the estimated worth of items published are nothing close (too high) to the reality of today's collector's market (low). Descriptions are good; and comparative values for items are probably valid; it's just that absolute values are not. Although one might think intuitively that collectibles, especially Coca Cola items, continue to increase in value, that is not the case. This market has its own bubbles, and these items, overpriced for some time, have made a correction, and have decreased in value. Of course that is coupled with the overall economic downturn and less expendable income and discretionary spending. So the price guide is out of date.
