Hake's Price Guide to Character Toy Premiums by Theodore L. Hake (1998, Paperback, Illustrated)

I recently purchased another, older Hake's price guide on similar items. That purchase was made because I knew that particular guide had a color picture listing of PEP comic character pinbacks. However, I was able to determine that this guide had information on PEP pins as well, and was slightly more recent. I picked this guide up as a comparison for price increases and for possible new information.
As a toy price guide, this one is great. I have used it several times when looking up items on eBay, and carry it with me when visiting antique stores. This guide suffers like other Hake's guides (as far as I can tell), in that they are not necessarily released as annual publications (like comic books, etc.). I may be wrong in that respect, but I could not find current guides listed on eBay during my searches. That said, the Hake's guides, and this one in particular, are full of information on all the various collectibles available and are useful for starting and refining searches on thousands of different items. The Hake's Price Guide to Character Toys is fun and easy to use and has lots of great color photos.
