I'd love e to hear some reviews about this new one by people who have one. Is it oriented around the Mabrys,Hallorans,Albert Paul's,Platzs,etc like we mostly see and have a chance to own. Or does it focus more on the rare decorative calls that are next to impossible to have.

Lonnie Mabry is not in any of the books.  I'm sure many callmakers are unknown.  I think the Grand Nationals play a huge part also in this type of book.  It's mostly based on the value of calls not necessarily the sound quality.  It's a "collector's guide" after all.

Good resource for all types and prices of calls.

Does anyone know if his call values are in touch with reality or not??

I am not a fan of the Denka books personally.

The Mickel series are much more informative. " Monetary value " of any collectible is a subjective thing based largely upon what a person is willing to pay.

My philosophy on call collecting is this - I buy what I like .

I think he gets his numbers from sold eBay auctions.  I can't say for sure, but I'm pretty confident in that.

So his numbers DO represent what the market will bear.................. BUT.............. Every call can bubble and burst.  So his numbers are only a snapshot of a limited period of time.

Example............................ The Quaker Boy Gravedigger paddle call.   10-12 months ago you were into $200-300 to own one.  Now, they can be had for $60 or so.  Brief snapshots.
