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 1934
1934's Condition Comments
4 comments
The plating of the lettering on the hardback changed from gold plate to copper in 1933, resulting in faded gilt to the cover and spine. A collector needs a sharp eye to spot replacement spine gilt that is not mentioned in the sale description.
The rarest of the 1930s editions, probably because it covers the Bodyline series.
