About Wisdens.org
Last Price Update Jan 2023 : 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 and have updated it year on year, Happy Collecting, Chris Ridler, Wisden Collector.

I am currently reading my set and pop notes into the www.wisdenauction.com newsletter, here is a snippet of the write up from 1866 : Sorry the calendar dragged on but the 1866 looks like it is going to be the dullest Wisden of them all, quickly flicking through (as one tends to do after studying 50 scorecards in a row) it is wall to wall scores without any commentary! (Next weeks text may be short) The laws next (I still haven‚¬„¢t a clue what the single wicket is going on about!) then a beating to Knickerbokers by the MCC starts the MCC matches of 1865 ‚¬€œ one day match stated a few times but not the odi of today the first had 4 innings the second had 2 (but wasn‚¬„¢t a draw), however on June 8th (P28) Household Brigade played I Zingari and it was 217 vs 175 , with HB winning by 42 runs, an innings each in one day with a result, the 100 years before its time! (No 100s in 50 balls mind). Parr out scored Carpenter in the All England victory vs United all England. : Please contact us for the full write up.
My current 1866 Wisden is a Paperback in very nice condition, it cost me £9,000 in 2014.
