Bakertowne's Price Guide To Goebel's Co-Boy Gnomes

I really couldn't have asked for more. The pictures are wonderful, and the prices are accurate. It even gives height, which is helpful if you don't want to fuss around with a tape measure! I inherited a gnome collection and i'm so glad i bought this book to help me sort it all out. Thanks for writing it! They are the only co-boy book i was able to find, i think they are the only co-boy book around!

way overpriced.

Accuracy and lack of information

This book helped me to identify Co-Boys so I know what to buy for my sister who collects Co-Boys. The fact that everything is in color is a really big plus! I write in the book which Co-Boys my sister has so I know which ones to buy when I find some Co-Boys! This book goes with me when I go to flea markets and antique shops. I highly recommend this book for any serious collector!

I own this book, but did not purchase it from Amazon. I am disappointed in the book as it does not list all of the Co-Boys that were made. In example, "Tommy" The Touchdown is not listed in the book. Since "Tommy" was created early in the Co-boy life (as early as trademark 5 1972 - 1975) I would have expected it to be listed in the book that was written in 2008.

Co-Boys are Gerhard Skrobek poking fun at people of many professions and trades in the form of Gnomes for everyone's pleasure and fun. Now, once again, tammy and family have written on something they know little on which is Co-Boys, The Book Bakerstownes Price Guide to Goebel's Co Boy Gnomes is such a poor reference to Co Boys. They give no valid information other than some pictures and a single source item on Co Boys. factually this is the only place you can probably find all the pieces in one spot. The information they give is little more that an honest collector should know and appreciate.the but here is that the values are from their own sales that start with a low dollar number so the item will sale. ebay is a very poor venue to derive honest numbers for value of almost anything. some people do want to buy and when the amount is low enough they will and do buy. to then say this is an honest value for the item is only above and beyond the call of proifetting and borders on dis-honesty. of course, they do not understand that thought, because the items or like items sold and that is the average of what they sold for. it is a good wholesale base line. guess this is a very good example of the unknowing can accomplish writing something and selling it to masses.

Excellent resource.
