Kovels Releases List of 2008's Top Antique & Collectible Searches

Coca-Cola is top brand name on list

From an official release via PR-Inside.com:

Kovels.com last week released its list of the top 20 searches for all of 2008. The Kovels' top 20 list is based on the results of millions of searches that took place on its website during the year. With over 600,000 antiques and collectibles in its online price guide, Kovels.com is the Web's largest free price guide for antiques and collectibles.

People use price guides for a number of reasons, usually to determine the value of an item that they own. If an item isn't listed on the top 20 list, it doesn't mean it is unpopular or that there isn't a demand for it. It only means that in 2008 there was less interest in finding prices for that item. The new list includes comparative data for 2007 as well.
