    Get the 2019. It's a big upstep from the 2018.

    I am thinking about getting a new Red Book since mine is a 2017. How did they improve it?

    MANY more varieties covered than ever before. Consider it "The Mega Red" leaking some good stuff onto the regular Red Book.

    Which version of the 2017 do you have? I'm in the market for the standard hard bound 2017. No spiral, no fancy shmancy $100 one.

    Thanks, I will get one. My 2017 is the spiral one, I get them so they will lay flat while I'm searching coins.

    It IS a different art these days, Books. One debater yells “That’s racist!” and the other side has to go to mandatory sensitivity training. Voila! Millennial debate.

    Pictures. They are needed.

    As far as I'm concerned "art" requires some level of creativity or original thought. Mindlessly spewing indoctrinated hate while accusing others of just that doesn't count.

    Still, you've pretty much summed it up and includes a number of discussions on this very board. Of course this isn't actual debate but simply an underhanded way of silencing the opposition and regardless of validity, but is the only goal such people embrace.

    Oh, and before someone is triggered, this obviously doesn't apply to all of said generation. It's a simple yet perfectly reasonable generality. No safe spaces required.

    bsting Never enough coins.lol

    This sounds like the inserts you get when buying a new folder. You get 3 options to get a bundle of stuff for $7 I think. Sounds like you got all three of those bundles. Pretty cool!
