Ben published 5 different value guides, 1996, 1999, 2002, 2006 supplement to 2002 and 2011. They are all difficult to find nowadays. Try contacting Burt, https://www.ebay.com/usr/fishntoad23?ul_noapp=true, he handled the estate sales of Ben's collection, including a few excess copies of older editions. He currently has a couple of 2006 supplements listed on eBay.
Love those Open Face Spinning Reels! (Especially ABU & ABU/Zebco)
