[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1901480, member: 112"]What good is it using a price guide when the prices listed in it are no good to begin with ? Krause is notorious for their listed prices being either too high or too low. In that regard Krause is like the Red Book, sure it has lots of good information - just don't ever use the prices listed in it because they are completely inaccurate. So what do you do instead at a coin show ? You don't, short of having access to the internet so you can look up realized auction prices at reliable sources.
