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.

I am currently reading my set and pop notes into the www.wisdenauction.com newsletter, here is a snippet of the write up from 1870 : An Amusing (for me , not him) footnote on the MCC vs Hampshire scorecard.
Holmes (Hampshire) subsequently met with an accident (when playing a match on the Vincent square ground) and was unfortunately prevented from fulfilling many valuable engagements, Wootton bolwed 22 Overs 10-MCC and round winning by an innings
Finally Cambridge University was referred to as the Cantabs in the write up. :

My 1870 Wisden, as pictured, is a paperback with spine touch ups, the spreadsheet says it cost £3350 but not sure of the date, probably 2012.
