<p>[QUOTE=&quot;clembo, post: 256748, member: 8033&quot;]Very well put bq. I mentioned earlier that I haven&#039;t bought one in years. Not saying it isn&#039;t a good book though as it most definitely is. Just sucks as a price guide.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m sure the internet has had a huge effect on&nbsp; that. Back in &quot;the day&quot; values (retail) did not jump all over the board as they do today. Coin collecting was much more &quot;pure&quot;. You went to a dealer that knew &quot;everything&quot;, trusted his judgement and bought coins. MS examples came in BU, Choice BU and Gem. Proofs were proofs.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now we have TPGs up the wazoo and a LOT of people aren&#039;t collectors. They are nothing but investors that have no real understanding of coins when you get down to it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I miss the old days but have to roll with the punches.</p><p><br /></p><p>That said I think I&#039;ll soon be buying a Redbook. Just not for the price guide.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
