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.

Wisdens.Org Valuation for 1916
1916's Condition Comments
4 comments
If the spine gilt is bright, then take care that it has not been regilded. The letters used on the 1916 spine (and in some cases the front cover) were without the usual gold plating and so seem dulled. Also, there is no full stop after the date on the spine (twice) and cover; restorers have made the mistake of inserting it.
No photoplate was issued
