[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1318178, member: 112"]Yes they are. But you would be amazed at how few people know that ! Think for a minute, how many times have you seen Red Book prices quoted here when somebody questions the price of a coin ? How many times have you seen them question the price and point to the PCGS price guide ? Or the Numismedia price guide ? Or Trends, or Coin Market ? Or any of the other numerous prices guides. The majority of people use those price guides, one or the other of them. Should they ? Of course not ! They should throw the dang things away. For over 15 years I've been preaching on various forums to use realized auction records as your guide to values. But how many people listen ? Most don't listen because it's too hard, it requires some effort on their part. They'd much rather look in some book or on some web site price guide because it's easier and faster, and because they don't have to do any work.[/QUOTE]
