for March 2007.

Press Release Body = Cleveland, Ohio - April 13, 2007 - 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 March. 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 March 2007.

People use price guides for a number of reasons, the most common being that they are
just trying to determine the value of a specific item that they own. If an Item is
not listed on the top 20 list, it does not necessarily mean that it is unpopular or
that there is not a demand for it. It only means that in March there was less
interest.

1. Pottery and porcelain; 2. Glass; 3. Furniture; 4. Jewelry; 5. Bottles; 6. Metals;
7. Toys; 8. Prints, pictures, paintings, paper; 9. Royal Doulton; 10. World War II;
11. Stoves; 12. Coca-Cola; 13. Advertising; 14. Alabaster; 15. Silver plate; 16.
Lighters; 17. Folk art; 18. Occupied Japan; 19. Weapons; 20. Music

The top three, Pottery, Glass and Furniture, rarely change. These are always the
major areas of interest because they are useful antiques or collectibles found in
every home. But the others reflect a special interest often influenced by current
news or auctions. The recent ruling against selling war medals has created a problem
for dealers and a change in prices of World War II souvenirs so it moved to number
10. The auctions of several large toy collections created extra publicity and
interest in toy prices and the 7th position.

The Kovels' "Top 20" list of antiques and collectibles has been published since 2002
and is offered by Kovels.com as a service for collectors.
