Welcome!
Despite almost no updates over the past 5-6 years (until the previous 2 weeks, that is), this page is still 'maintained' (and updated, as of January 10h, 2026). I'm slowly trying to get more things updated on here, as well.
It has been a dream of mine for years to create a guide for collecting The Bobbsey Twins books. Growing up in the 80's/90's, it was one of my favorite series' to read and collect.
So, bare with me while I work on this. It is *not* meant as a price guide for many reasons. If you collect The Bobbsey Twins, then you probably already know that the series is not very collectable (unfortunately). You can complete a collection very inexpensively if you're not picky about formats. This page is meant to help identify and date what you have, as well as to open up your mind to what else is out there for the Bobbsey Twins collector.
Most (if not all) of the links below work. Not all the corresponding pages have much information yet. When clicked on, ALL the pictures should either (1) take you to another page with further information, or (2) enlarge the picture. If you find a picture that doesn't do either of those, please feel free to let me know so I can get that fixed.
And if you come across any spelling mistakes, incorrect information or broke links, please also let me know. I have tried to notate links that I know are broken, but there may be some others as well.
