Yearbooks in total amount

The bidder who failed to pay was from France. The Ebay seller and the owner of the 1950 yearbook are Americans. The owner had recently purchased a second 1950 yearbook, in another Ebay transaction for $7200, and was looking to sell his first copy. I would suggest that the actual market clearing price for a 1950 yearbook in good condition is about $7200 presently...

 

thanks for info

 

Indeed, Thanks! But I 'm afraid 7.200 $ for a 1950 is a little optimistic....I received mail from some serious sellers, with asking prices, minimum 10.000 one, the other asked 9.500 EURO.....Schluck!
Both in good to very good condition. I didn't buy neither of them, just for information...
But of course, sellers are in the strong position, we all know that there are only a few hundred samples that survived till today. On the other hand, no one is buying at those extreme prices....

 

I know one 1950 yearbook was sold for 14 000 €.great condition

owner wanted it so much that didnt care about price.

 

Here is the Ebay sale to which I refer. Make of it what you will. I have removed the seller's details to respect that individual's privacy.

thanks for sharing

If that 50 yearbook was OK the new buyer is very happy no doubt

 

What is the going price?I know of one in Europe which, if still available, was priced at E 2000. I have originals for 1953,1954,1955,1956,1957.1958,,1959,1960,1961,1962,1963,1964,1965. As you can see 1962 would be a nice addition If any one would like to give me an estimale on the originals please do. Thanks tongascrew

I have some duplicates in my collection - 1949, 1961, 63, 65, 66, 67 and 1968-70.
Thanks

 

some pictures are welcomed

 

how do you tell a reprint from an original?

 

A very beautiful 1956 yearbook at Ebay.com . Wonder what it's going to fetch.

Sorry for the late reply, but I didn't see your post before. The differences are;
1949 reprint is smaller than original
1961, 63, 65, 66 - the originals have some colour pages but the reprints are all pages b/w.
I haven't ever seen reprints of 1967 and 1968-70
Hope this helps

Julius, you got a PM!

 

you too

 

Actually, I "wonder" about something else - that you just "happen" to also be the seller for all of your eBay "finds".

 

Julius - pleased to help.
