The second revised edition of THE TRAP COLLECTORS GUIDE by Parr and Andreski is now available. There are 252 pages, 52 more than the first addition. Trap values have been upgraded and 52 additional pages have been added. I just got mine today and have spent a couple hours reading the added information. If you would want to order you can obtain one by contacting Tom Parr, Po Box 94, Galloway, OH. 43119. Cost is $46 shipped.

Oh Boy!!! You're making life tough for me krumui.....I ordered one for a fellow trap accumulator and it's sitting on my table still packaged. I have to wait till he swings by on Saturday before I get to take a look to see if I need to upgrade. It's been tempting me to no end and your post doesn't help the situation.

Anybody know how to remove tape from a priority envelope so there is no damage?????

Disappointed in it. The triumph section was the highlight of the entire book.

If somebody is interested in a trap price and reference guide, is this THE book? I buy and sell a lot of antiques and have shied away from collector traps because I really don't know enough about them.

In my opinion, this book by Andreski & Parr is probably the best trap price guide on the market. You will never find a price guide that is perfect.

The price guides put together by Froedelius & Burt were very good in their time but they haven't been updated for several decades.

There are other price guides on the market but I personally don't think much of them.

The Andreski-Parr book also contains a lot of other information besides prices. I have a copy of the new edition but have not had to check it out.

Lots more information besides the TRIUMPH section. GOVERNMENT, HANDFORGED, BLAKE & LAMB, to name a few. I think it is well worth the dollars to upgrade from the original. I just hope the pages stay glued in better than the first.

Only thing I didn't care for was some of the upgraded trap prices. All the traps I've let go have increased in value and all that I've kept have decreased. wink wink wink

Very disappointed in the book. All the articles on unusual & rare items were unclaimed and didn't say where they got the information.

I like the books by Robert Vance. Especially the autographed copies that I received from Ed Hutzel. What a guy ... cool

I am disappointed in the price guide because of some of the things that is written about the history of traps. As for as pricing, i will still take it over Vance's books. There is no rime or reason to the pricing in either book.

With today's technology I would think putting together a price guide would be easier than in the past,There is enough reference out there with ebay,Sidney etc.

Never owned a trap guide in my life but my birthday is coming up. Does the new book have plenty of pictures that will be of help to a beginner?
