The Redbook In The Information Age

The RedBook has lots of great information about coins, but if you want a price reference, carry the latest physical copy of the CDN Greysheet.

You could check CDN on your phone, but having the print copy in hand prevents any dealer assumptions that you're comparing prices on the Internet...

I am in the minority. I like the RedBook, but like all the others,don't pay attention to the prices.

Yes there are lots of sites with some of the information. But you have to keep going from one bookmark to another. And what happens when you are on the road and need some information and all of a sudden you have no cell coverage; or your battery dies; ect.

It reminds me of an incident I had in my Guard Unit. We lost Satcoms and when I got there the link was down and the crew was trying to figure out how to trouble shoot the system. I asked where the manuals were. "Bookmarked" was the reply.

Well duhhhh. No internet, no bookmarks, no manuals.

Paper is the ultimate fall back. And it is all in one place and easier and faster to navigate than most web sites. Thats without the bandwidth issues.
