<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ldhair, post: 2053630, member: 11540&quot;]Yes, it is important to buy the books that are helpful to you. My short list that should be helpful to any collector is as follows.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Red Book. For the general information. Not for the pricing.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Official ANA Grading Standards. Grading skills are important at any level of collecting.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Official Guide to Coin Grading and Counterfeit Detection by PCGS. This book is one of the best to learn from.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>When you get to a particular series, it&#039;s best to talk with those that collect that series before buying the first book you see. With some series there may be several good books but one or two that are great. Many of the great ones hold their value and some are worth many times what they cost when published. If you get out of collecting a series the best books are easy to sell. Just like coins, the best are easy to sell.</p><p><br /></p><p>With that said, it&#039;s important to buy what is best for you. That could be a few dollars or several hundred dollars. It&#039;s what&#039;s best for you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
