New Antique Price Guide for Mickey

Nearly everyone at one time or another has owned a piece of Mickey Mouse Memorabilia. My most memorable piece was a wonderful Mickey Mouse sweat-shirt. Mickey was positioned on the shirt so that if I put my hands in the pocket it looked like I had Mickey gloves on. I wore it to my 5th birthday party and I'll never forget it. Take a look at me in all my early 80s glory.

Unfortunately, I lost track of my favorite Mickey shirt before I could write in cursive. If you somehow managed to keep all your Mickey Mouse memorabilia you might want to check out the new Official Price Guide to Mickey Mouse Collectibles. Unlike a normal antiques price guide, the Mickey guide has both antiques and newer items. As long as it is a Mickey collectible it should be in there.

Of course newer items are usually easy to price based on retail prices. The problem is finding accurate value of antiques. An antique price guide can be a good reference for collectibles, but in my opinion the best way to go is always antique appraisals. An appraisal allows your specific item to get looked at by an expert. If you really think your item is valueable, it's worth the money to get the item appraised. If you collect or are looking to collect Mickey Mouse memorabilia you should really browse through the book. You can find it from Geppi Entertainment Publishing.
