This is a handy concise "tool" for Lionel Train Collectors. It is just one of many reference tools along with your common sense that allows you to buy, sell or trade Lionel Trains. It is not the "bible" but it is a must have that most collectors use. It's convenient size makes it easy to take along. The only improvements I would like to see would be to color code the different sections and the addition of some blank pages for notes to each section.
I use this book as kind of a barometer when bidding on lionel trains and accessories. I also have another book by Davis Doyle that I use in conjunction with this one for determining what my maximum bid will be on the items. The Greenberg book however covers all the years from 1901 to present where the Doyle book only covers 1945 to 1969. The only thing I found lacking in the Greenberg book was the fact that it does not list complete train sets where the Doyle book does and researching some non numbered "specialty" cars and items is difficult at times with the Greenberg book but that may be because i'm still new at this. But for a pocket price guide I find it to be a valuable tool for the auctions.
We bought the book to possibly sell my father in laws train set.Its a good book fairly easy to use. It could use more detailed or descriptive words on each train item. We did use it to itemize the train set so we at least know what the set is worth.
I had a bunch of early quality trains, and at this point in my life, and not having a son to pass it along to, i was going to sell them- but had no idea of their value. the purchase of this guide allowed me to post them at a fair price both to me and the auction winners- it worked!! sold them all, with some being bid way up above the guides prices.
I would like to see any changes in prices printed in red ink. It would make it easy to spot the price changes. Otherwise, it is a good publication in giving you a benchmark in prices to work from.
