Some claim they are outdated, yet seemingly fail to realize where redbook prices come from or that any outdated values would have more to do with metal prices than numismatic changes. With common, average collector types, values are usually on the high side, but with many infrequently traded coins its actually low. Either way, if you already have a copy, make good use of it.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>No disrespect to Cherd, but for anything other than regularly traded issues, the graysheet can be just as worthless as a redbook.

For someone new and in your situation, numismedia might be a reasonable <i><u>guide</u></i> to use until gaining knowledge/experience with whatever series you wish to collect, but I still think you should take the time to learn before doing anything else.
