Sometimes we are asked as to whether we recommend ordering a new Kentucky Derby Julep Glass Price Guide every year. In each new edition there are updates that include price changes and a photograph of the glass from the most recent Derby. Some years, there are more changes than others. In the last two years we have seen more reported sales of the ultra rare early glasses than in the last ten years. Based on those sales, we have updated our values. Also, in 2024, we have seen a significant increase in interest in the French Lick aluminum cup. There were two different julep glasses used for the 150th running of the Kentucky Derby in 2024. One was only available at the track on Derby Day. Both are pictured. So, to answer the question, if you are active in buying or selling Derby glasses it's worth having the most current book. If you are more of a casual collector, ever other year should suffice. In either case, we thank you for your business, always much appreciated. Happy hunting. That 1940 Dated, might be at the yard sale down the street. You never know.

We try hard to
accurately describe all of the items we list on E-bay. Always feel free
to ask questions. We guarantee our merchandise to be as described. Most
importantly, we want you to be happy with your purchase. If there is
ever a problem of any kind, with an item you have purchased, contact us
within five days of receiving the item and we will do our best to work it out to your satisfaction. As always, we do appreciate your business.
Unfortunately,
shipping costs continue to rise. We ship via the U.S. Postal Service.
It now costs a minimum of $5.00 to mail even the lightest padded
envelope or photo mailer. With the exception of a single patch or single
postcard, everything must be shipped as a package. The padded envelopes
and photo mailers cost approximately forty cents each. There is also a
minimal amount of additional expense for zip lock bags, tape etc. In
addition, eBay charges a fee from the stated shipping charges. This is
in excess of the final value fee for selling the item. All said, when we
charge $5.00 to ship a small item, we are most likely losing twenty or
thirty cents.
We ship only within the United States. The problem for us with
foreign shipping is that insurance is often not available. When it is
available it is expensive. E-bay no longer allows its sellers to charge
for insurance. Many sellers have simply raised their shipping charges to
cover the cost of insurance. That is not an option with foreign
shipping because in order to obtain insurance you have to ship using an
upgraded shipping service. The cost is often ten times the cost of US
shipping. If an item is lost, and is not insured, all the buyer has to
do is request a refund and far more often than not, they
will get their money back. Also, foreign shipping requires customs forms. We regret any inconvenience.
We will combine shipping when possible.
