Outside of the Redbook there wasn't much out there and there really wasn't a good way to even know if other stuff existed. I remember when I was in HS, trading a Good 1886 V nickel to a dealer for a 1982 Krause World coins when it first came out. I think this was the first or second edition (and I got the HS librarian to put a nice protective cover on it). By the early 90s lots of specialty volumes were coming out and i was buying lots of them from Sandford Durst or Brooklyn Galleries.
