Last Price Update Jan 2022 : I have been collecting Wisdens for a while now and in 2005 set up this Website to pass on my Wisden experiences, this site was the first ever created on the internet to explain about Wisdens to the masses and it is regularly updated with valuable statistics to help every Wisden collector when needed,
to enhance their set. This site includes a popular discussion forum (wisdenclub.com) which has kept me entertained since '05. Over time we were offered Wisdens from members and also people asked if we had any spares to fill gaps in their sets. This led to our online Wisden Catalogue and this evolved into our sister site wisdenauction.com (see 2013 Wisden, pages 50/51),
we improved the look and feel of this site in August 2013, Happy Collecting, Chris Ridler, Wisden Collector.

My 1899 Wisden, as pictured first, is an Original Hardback Wisden, it is in very good condition. Purchased 2013 at auction for a bargain £5,000 (Photoplate and Original Paperback also shown from a book sold on WisdenAuction)
The 1899 Hardback is a very rare Wisden, the rarity drops off after 1899 as 1900s are a lot easier to find, it could be proved that 1899 is harder to find than 1898.
Early paperback (like the one pictured) tend to have spine touch ups, something to look out for on purchasing them.
