Press Release Summary: With over 600,000 antiques and collectibles in its online
price guide, Kovels.com today released its top 20 list of the most popular searches
for January 2008.

Press Release Body: Cleveland, Ohio - February 06, 2008 - Kovels.com
(http://www.kovels.com), the Web\'s largest free price guide for antiques and
collectibles, today released its list of the top 20 searches for January. The
Kovels\' top 20 list is based on the results of hundreds of thousands of searches
that took place on its website during the month of January 2008.

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 January
there was less interest in finding prices for that item.

1. Spatterware, 2. Coca - Cola, 3. Stoves, 4. Capo-Di-Monte, 5. World War II, 6.
Jewelry, 7. Occupied Japan, 8. Silverplate, 9. Furniture, 10. Dolls, 11. Lladro, 12.
Lighter, 13. Knife, 14. Hutchenreuther, 15. Clocks, 16. Royal Bayreuth, 17. Nippon,
18. Royal Dux, 19. Rosenthal, 20. Cookie Jars

As you can see, there are a few new categories on this month\'s top 20 list,
including Spatterware for the first time at #1 and Hutchenreuther at #14. The recent
record price of $37,400 for Spatterware probably created extra interest and
Hutchenreuther was featured on the \"Kovels.com News of Interest to Collectors\" page
which generated quite a few price searches by curious collectors (take a look at
http://www.kovels.com/news.html). Stoves are still in the top 5 at #3 but are
starting to slip as the winter drags on.

The Kovels\' \"Top 20\" list of antiques and collectibles has been published monthly
since 2002 and is offered by Kovels.com as a service for collectors. Accredited
media interested in discussing the content of this release or any topics related to
antiques and collectibles are encouraged to contact the Kovels to schedule an
