<p>[QUOTE=&quot;charley, post: 24633731, member: 5372&quot;]Your interpretation of the variations may be because you possibly are not aware of what the pricing means, how it is derived, and what the purpose/use is of the different publications.</p><p><br /></p><p>The 3 publications (4, if including Greensheet U.S. Currency) all reflect different pricing conditions. The publications are not strictly dealer to dealer transactions. The purpose and what the pricing means and what is the basis of the pricing&nbsp; published is clearly stated in each of the different publications. </p><p><br /></p><p>Just a brief example: The &quot;June Market Review&quot;&nbsp; is actually a&nbsp; Quarterly and the pricing basis is clearly printed on the top and the bottom of the front cover, and for the colonials section, at he bottom of the 3rd. page of the section, it is on the first page of the currency (green pages) section. The &quot;July Greysheet&quot; is a Monthly, and the pricing basis is again clearly printed at the top of the front cover, AND...using the July issue, expanded as to the purpose/pricing explanation on Pg. 17. The CAC&nbsp; Rare Coin Market Review, which is also a Quarterly, clearly states the basis of the pricing at the top of the front cover, AND...referencing the Feb./March/April publication...where/what the prices are derived from and what the pricing reflects.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is no boogeyman. There is no secret dealer to dealer cabal ripping off collectors. There is no double secret probation punishment. There is no Greysheet publication that is strictly dealer to dealer and restricts any and all other purposes of buy/sell market decisions.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is wise for EVERY collector/hobbyist/dealer/bidder/investor to understand the purpose of the different publications and all the publications offer very valuable information and guidelines . All are as accurate and realistic as modern price tracking can be in the market and very transparent of the pricing basis and how derived,&nbsp; and for a seasoned collector to state otherwise is ignorance at worse and disgruntlement with the modern collector market at best.</p><p><br /></p><p>I experience the misunderstanding of the various publications and their purpose and differences and why, on a daily basis.</p><p>It is a tool. It is a good tool, when used properly.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know stuff. That is all I have to say about that.</p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t hit me, and don&#039;t listen to me. I am old.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
