Prices for near mint calendars were around 275-350 dollars.
Later ones are described as fine and near fine so probably one of the reasons why the price dropped. The second reason is oversaturation of the market because a lot of them hit the market simultaneously.

In the end, a "good" price is one that the buyer and seller are both happy with. Yes, we're all thrilled when we get what we perceive as a bargain. But most transactions are "I'm happy if you are."

Updated The Compleat Gyde to Tolkien Calendars with the new 2016 issues that are coming out. Entries are not all complete as I don't yet have physical possession of all of them. If anyone knows of any new (or old!) issues not found therein, please contact me. Thanks all and Happy New Year!

As some may be aware, I have not updated "Compleat Gyde to Tolkien Calendars" since 2016. There are several reasons for this, some beyond my control.

However, there is BIG news on the horizon. I do not want to steal Urulókë's thunder. Stay tuned!

Many thanks to Urulókë for his vision and efforts and to Trotter for all of the work that he did to migrate the content of “The Compleat Gyde to Tolkien Calendars” over to this Guide.

Since the Calendar Guide went live ten days ago, I have added photographs of the monthly illustrations/forewards/end pages/back covers for perhaps two (maybe three?) dozen calendars.

If there are any that you would specifically like to see, just let me know.

Hope you enjoy the Calendar Guide and find it useful.

This guide is what inspired me (or rather got me over the edge) to start collecting calendars. Well, at least buy the new one each year to begin with.

Thank you for all your hard work. 🤓
