So, I was at Borders the other day buying The Greatest Show on Earth when I realized I needed a redbook...when I pick one up, I saw that it is more than a bluebook? So...If the Redbook/Bluebook are just for the info, why is one more than the other? Do they both have the same exact info? Is the redbook more, because everyone else here is like me and loves the colored pictures? :goofer: stainless
Ah, Blue Book, Red Book...whatever it takes..... Eh, 220, 230 whatever it takes...(what movie is this from?) The Red Book I believe reflects more market price and the Blue book reflects more a wholesale price....or something like this. Darn, where is Frank when you need him!
Yes, that is what the values do. But, I only bought it for information and mintages...are they both the same in the aspect? stainless
1. The Red Book is more popular. 2. The Red Book is supposed to contain the highest possible prices for coins. 3. The Blud Book is supposed to contain the lowest possible prices for coins. 4. More people collect the Red Book than the Blue Book 5. More places sell the Red Book over the Blue Book. 6. Many people have never heard of the Blue Book 7. Red Book is a brighter color 8. Red Book contains more information. 9. The Blue Book actually came out first but for some reason the Red Book took over. 10. On this and many other coin forums, people always say p;urchase a Red Book, not the Blue Book. 11. Even in the Red Book there is are pages for the approximate values of both of them and the Red Book, pages 408 and up, brag about the Red Book but say very little about the Blue Book. I too collect the Red Book and have all of them. Only have two editions of the Blue one.
you rang? And yes, you are correct, of course. Personally, from a reading perspective-- get the Red Book.
