Items shown on those antiques and collectibles programs such as “Pawn Stars” do drive searches in the Worthopedia. I must have missed that one, though.

A G.I. Joe Nurse doll has been featured on an episode of “Pawn Stars” which might account for its popularity recently.

Hi Missy –

Thanks for your comment. I wish I was that inventive, but I couldn’t make this stuff up if I tried! I’m sure others might be wondering how the Top 10 is generated.

The WorthPoint technical staff pulls together a list of page views for the past 3 months, sorted by search phrases. The list differentiates between page views and unique page views, so we know how many are repeats. We only use the unique page views when coming up with the Top 10 list.

“Fat Boy” Frank Williams had over 12,000 unique hits in the last quarter. One never knows what prompts such popularity, but it is probably a TV show, current event, magazine or newspaper article that sparks sudden interest.

I’m sorry but — did you make this up? I find it hard to believe that this list truly represents the most searched for items (specifically) over a 3 month period………unless your research is based on one or two people’s searches???
NO WAY!

E.S. -

Greg is WorthPoint’s fabulous editor and he usually catches my silly mistakes, but this one was all my own – just a late-night, tired goof. Thanks!!

Liz and I both know that Ray was Charles’ wife… it was a tag-team brain-cramp… thanks for pointing that out, E.S.

Um, the Eames BROTHERS? Shame on you as a collectibles professional, not to mention as a woman. Ray was Charles’ wife!
