Book Description
Petrettis Coca-Cola Collectibles Price Guide has been called the “bible” of Coca-Cola collectiblesand with good reason! This impressive 11th edition of the hobbys standard reference depicts, describes, and values more Coca-Cola Company marketing, advertising, and promotional items than any other published source. The new volume covers items produced from the 1880s through the 1960s, and includes 96 full-color pages; photos and descriptions of previously undocumented items; up-to-date pricing information; and revised guidelines for collectors. Allan Petretti, long regarded as the foremost authority on the subject, has combined years of experience in the hobby with his proven expertise as a Coca-Cola collectibles dealer and auctioneer to provide the collecting community with the up-to-date information needed to keep pace with this popular and fast-growing hobby.
- Current market prices for every item depicted and described
- New color sections featuring trays, calendars, and other highly sought after items
- Includes additional, recently found rare pieces not shown in any other collector guide
- Contains an expanded and improved bottles section
- New chapters include Coca-Cola candy and Cokes “Diamond Design” from the 1960s
- Offers new guidelines for grading and evaluating Coca-Cola items
Reader Reviews
Right off the bat: I agree that the omission of blotters and assorted other collectibles from this guide is a gaping omission as big as a barn. I hardly use this guide anymore for several reasons: 1) The back index is as bad as they come. Totally incomplete. 2) You want to find a certain tray? Be prepared to bounce from one end of the book to the other looking for what you need. There is no apparent logic to the way this guide is arranged. I'm sure the author felt it was completely logical, but his logic escapes me. 3) The front index is just painful to figure out. There is a usability book out there called "Don't Make Me Think". The author of this Coke guide should study it. 4) Too much rhetoric and opinion about "fantasy" items. I find this section of the guide painful to sift through. Just the facts, please. And then there's the illogical order of everything <heavy sigh>. The best that can be said about this guide is that it's big. It is poorly organized and has way too many omissions to be my primary guide. If a 12th edition ever comes out, I'm going to check it out before buying, to see if these problems have been fixed. I much prefer Wilsons' guide over this one.
