In the 1990's the Bradford Exchange released many beautiful collector plates
featuring Marilyn Monroe. This artwork has been recycled for the past decade and
continues to appear on new collectibles. It is a shame that they don't
feel the need to create fresh images. Obviously, if you are a new Marilyn fan and
have never seen or owned any of the original plates then these new items may
interest you.
Plates are no longer a valuable collectible. There
was a time prior to Ebay when plates held their values, however, this is no
longer the case. So my advice to plate collectors is to only buy the
ones you really like. Buy them to enjoy today and not as an investment
for the future. I have a fondness in my heart for the early plates
because I started collecting them as a teenager. At one time I had over
50 collector plates and 7 complete collections. However, today, I have
only kept my very favourite plates from each collection.
