So, where does one look for fair market values for Cinderellas. I've been looking on ebay and some other sites, but wondered if there were website or catalog specific place to go.

Thanks.

Probably the best reference is the Springer Handbook of North American Cinderella Stamps

If you collect Worldwide Philatelic Cinderellas I would recommend a CD titled "British Stamp Exhibitions" by Glenn Morgan & Graham Wilson.

Obviously, this CD is relating to UK poster stamps only, but I can assure you it is an interesting catalog.

Cheers

Welcome James.

Nice to see another GB Exhibition collector.
The disc you speak of covers only items issued for British Philatelic Exhibitions while Russ gave advice for USA/Canada items.

Barb, there is no worldwide catalogue. If you want Market values you must look on auction sites, not from dealers.
SCF is also leading the way on the forum front in my opinion. Cindy's offered here over the last few months have done well.

Londonbus1.....Where is James, In the UK?

No easy answer. The cinderella buyer has to either (i) get familiar with pricing across many different venues; or (ii) just pay the asking price when something interesting shows up. (Or both.)

Items may be listed for $2 someplace, and $50 elsewhere. It seems that some sellers think, "It's not in Scott, so I'll just put a dollar or two on it and see what happens" while others think, "It's not in Scott, so it must be rare."

Hi James

Welcome to the group.

I have never looked back to the day when I joined myself but I can tell you that I have enjoyed it every time I come in here. The wealth of information in here is staggering to say the least.

I hope that you enjoy it as much as I do

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome & hope I would be beneficial to the forum as much as it is very beneficial to me.

bfranton >> As my fellow collectors stated, there's no worldwide catalog specializing in Cinderellas.

Since my area of interest is Philatelic Expo. labels I would advice you to browse the below online catalog link (The Fields-Picklo Catalog):

http://www.cinderellas.info/philexpo/intro.htm

Although, it contains an outdated data and does not offer photos but it is kinda tend to be informative in terms of covering opening dates, label descriptions & market value (no one can tell for sure that whether the prices had become obsolete or not).

Overall, the provided website is useful for general info. about Cinderellas:

http://www.cinderellas.info


Cheers
