Still the Gold Standard: Inside the 37th Edition of John LaSpina’s PEZ Price Guide

For collectors like us, it’s nothing short of a bible. Honestly, what would we do without John LaSpina’s Price Guide to PEZ and Other Candy Dispensers? Hard to even imagine. Since the very first edition of The Original Collector’s Price Guide to PEZ was self-published in 1992, the guide has been continuously updated to include newly released dispensers, previously undiscovered pieces, and, of course, current market values. Fast forward to today, and it has reached an impressive 37th edition, a testament to both the passion behind it and the enduring appeal of PEZ collecting.

The Collector’s Compass: Navigating the 2026 Market with the 37th Edition

The 37th Edition is designed as a practical, easy-to-use reference for hobbyists, serious collectors, and dealers alike. It provides estimated price ranges for PEZ dispensers based on real market activity at the time of publication. These values are drawn from ongoing analysis of internet auctions, private sales, collector meetups, and published sales lists.

That said, the guide is best understood as a benchmark rather than a fixed rulebook. Prices can vary significantly depending on factors like age, condition, rarity, and even geographic location. In other words, it gives you a solid compass, but the market still has its own surprises. One important note: the book does not include photographs.
