    I recommend you watch this Interview between John Feigenbaum, CEO of Whitman Brands and Cabbage Coins, specifically about running and modernizing the Greysheet, how they value coins. Good history lesson on how that publication has evolved, also some insight into how they ignore outlier comps from well-heeled (need to have it, at any cost) collectors, how collectors should use the Greysheet pricing guide, and other topics of interest such as stamp collecting and the Redbook.

    My only exposure to the Greysheet is the pricing info accessible for registered users of CAC, I have never used the printed version. I still found this interview very insightful into the coin hobby, check it out.

    No surprises for me really but I think it does an excellent job of explaining what the Grey Sheet is today.

    Can someone post a summary of highlights ? I might not get to this for a while as it's an hour long.

    It's pretty simple really. In so many words, it explains that the Grey Sheet bases its listed values on opinions like all the other price guides.

    The rise of AI will be able to do in seconds what used to take hours to do...compile all different sales...throw out or reduce the influence of outliers....take into account frequency of sales, registry play or not, CAC or special holder or not, etc.

    You have those charts on PCGS and NGC's websites which aren't bad but AI could take it to a whole new level.

    the cabbage coins videos are quite informative. He interviews a wide variety of collectors with different interests.
