What is my Goebel Plate worth?
Subject: 1980 Goebel Plate - TRADITIONS
I need all the help I can get. I have a 1980 Goebel plate, Third edition, "TRADITIONS" by Laszlo Ispanky #742 of 10,000. The # at the bottom says 52-727-03-9. Could you please advise me of it's value.
The only plate that I see that could be the plate you are referring to is: Old Testament Series, "Tradition" Limited Edition of 10,000 - issued in 1980 by Goebel. The current quote is $225.00. The first plate in the series is "Twelve Tribes of Israel" ($100) and the second is "Ten Commandments ($325).
3-22-09 Update - There are three "Traditions" selling on eBay with a price range of $125 - $325

I have a First limited Edition Plate - "The Twelve Tribes of Israel" by Ispanky put out in 1978 by Goebel in the origingal box. Would like to know the range of value.
Unfortunately the only mention I find of this plate is in a book that was published in 1996. From the Series "Old Testament" The Twelve Tribes of Israel was issued in 1978, edition 10,000 for $125.00 - that is also its current market trend. According to the book, all three plates in the series are still valued at their issue price. However, I recently found a web site listing The Twelve Tribes of Israel - Ten Commandments at $195.
