<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SteveInTampa, post: 1556349, member: 27107&quot;]I guess my point in recommending &quot; a guide or two &quot; is that when I first started collecting I bought Whitmans The Official Red Book, A Guide Book of United States Paper Money, (Arthur &amp; Ira Friedberg) I noticed it didn&#039;t have enough detail about what I was collecting. It&#039;s not until I bought the Standard Guide to Small-Size U.S. Paper Money (Schwartz, Lindquist)&nbsp; that I got the real picture of short run stars and obscure, small print run blocks within a Friedberg number. The note I imaged had a miniscule print run of 3,200,000, even less then the Kansas City Star, and was predominantly distributed in rural Mississippi, and virtually disappeared. Serious collectors use many references and tools. I mostly collect small-size notes and have 6 different guides and I am always checking the Heritage Archives for past auction results.</p><p><br /></p><p>I won the note in Spink-Smythe Auction 2 years ago, and I value it around $1,800-$2,000. It&#039;s rated as the #1 rarest non-star small-size $1 FRN in Robert Azpiazu&#039;s collectors guide....another guide serious collectors should have.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
