site updates
10th
June 2008
I have added several pages
during the last week.
The first page is a list of 1950's Standards that have recently sold on
eBay and the makers (backstamp), including the sale price. Hopefully overtime this
may give me and other golly collectors at better idea of the rarer makers
and the frequency they may appear for sale. Although Golly badges can
be purchased elsewhere other than eBay, eBay seems to set the standard
of rarity and price. Having said this, it fluctuates frequently.
Eventually I may be able to add some kind of frequency % of appearance
to the table. Already a clear trend has appeared showing the
prices fluctuation day to day, as some bidders get far better deals,
this makes the whole fun of collecting golly badges, getting that rarer
or most wanted badge for a reasonable price without increasing your
mortgage.
The Second page I have added to my site, shows my collection of 1950's Standards and I tried to show and illustrate the different types of makers and there trading backstamp. Again these do very as many makers have a variant of backstamps used during different periods. Although this page is not complete, I have made a start with some of the rarer ones.

Colin Dodd's Golly Guide- Just released! The fantastic new Golly
Guide [2nd Edition]. It was not long after I started golly badge
collecting that I realised that one of the best resources available was
Colin's reference guide. Colin has spent years and years gathering so
much information on the Robertson Golly. He has even devised his own
unique reference code for golly badges and known Robertson memorabilia.
Any serious golly collector will refer to Colin's reference code. It
would be my recommendation to any collector to invest in one of Colin’s
guides, it's worth every penny and it will be referred to on so many
occasions. Liz Prigg, the owner of "Golly Corner" has already made a
great review on her site of the new CD and talk’s about some of the new
features, which includes over 4200 colour illustrations. Details of how
you can order Colin’s 2nd Edition CD can be found at ''Golly Corner",
including an application form that can be printed out.
