<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 467760, member: 4552&quot;]Let me say this about either the Red Book, Blue Book or just about any other books with prices. I go to about 2 to 4 coin shows a month, every month, all year long, every year for as long as I can remember. I&#039;ve been collecting coins for well over 60&nbsp; years now. Only once in all those years at a coin show I saw someone with a Red Book checking prices. I&#039;ve never seen anyone using the Blue book there. I&#039;ve been to many, many coin stores and again no one uses either one for prices. No dealers, no customers, no one uses them that I&#039;ve seen. I&#039;ve been to coin shows in other states, different cities and all around where I live and no one uses those books for prices. </p><p>THINK! If a book is made it takes many months to compile the info and many months to produce said books. Then time to send out to distributers. By the time the Red Book is being sold prices on coins could have changed dramatically. The publishers are only people, not magicians. They have no idea at all what the prices of a coin may, could, should, might be in the distant future. Sort of like me putting out a price list on tomatos or green beans in a few years from now.&nbsp; </p><p>Yes, such books are an influence by some but most use such books for info, not prices.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
