[QUOTE="Speedy, post: 118118, member: 705"]True---but I'm able to keep a good amount of info in my head and so the coins I'm looking for I can remember the prices for the grades I'm hunting... Like a 1950 PF66 Franklin will be anywhere from $400-$550....luster and cameo and such play into that....if I see one for sale in that price range I know I'm not going to overspend. Many coins like that are in my head and most of the time I'm pretty near the right price. When I find a coin at a show I don't know I ask for the Gray sheet and look it over....other wise I wait till I can view some ended auctions and get an idea for value...then that is booked in my head for later use. It is risky....and I'm sure I have messed up at some times...but if I like the coin and I feel the price is right...that is all that matters. At shows at such it is a pain to carry about books and such if you can remember such details of coins you are hunting in your head....the show I go too is about 2 hours away....so on the way there I refresh my mind and read about the coins I'll be hunting...I go over the prices I've marked down and then when I get to the show I'm pretty much ready!
