Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6452 Posts	Posted 07/17/2023 02:34 am I have been trying to locate a copy of CG6-v1 for several weeks. The crazypants prices of $425 on Amazon haven't moved at all. Unfortunately my main interest is Jefferson nickels, which got lumped into volume 1. At this point, I have begun to despair of ever purchasing a proper new copy of CG. Did this happen when Whitman published volume 5? Usually when a publisher sees the secondary market explode, they are quick to capitalize on the enthusiasm by issuing a second printing. It's also baffling that they did not issue vol.6-1 on digital immediately. The only copy you can buy is 5-1 for $20. Has anyone yet published a complete listing of the attribution numbers added to 6-1? It seems superficially pointless to buy a guide that is 14 years out of date, particularly if PCGS/NGC start recognizing some of the newer numbers. I am considering a pre-order for CG6-2 at $40. But that book only covers modern dimes and quarters, which is not particularly useful or interesting to me. Edited by Brandmeister 07/17/2023 02:39 am Report this Post to the Staff

BStrauss3 Pillar of the Community United States 4587 Posts	Posted 07/17/2023 09:17 am WRT digital, why would they undercut sales of the printed volumes? I was actually working with a press company this weekend. You need a "camera ready" pdf for POD. If you are going to do real printing, the plates can run you $15,000. That's a lot of money to divide over 100 or even 500 books. -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6452 Posts	Posted 07/17/2023 10:40 am Preorder is $40. Digital is $20, with no printing, shipping, inventory overhead. That's a slam dunk. I doubt that Whitman is selling copies of 6-1 for $400 on Amazon. If they are doing that, then they are pure capitalists and I salute their audacity. That's a 10x markup from the preorder price.

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6452 Posts	Posted 07/18/2023 5:24 pm Well, I caved and bought a digital copy of 5-1 for $20. Might preorder the paper book 6-2 for $40. Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6452 Posts	Posted 07/18/2023 6:06 pm So I'm reading this book, and it doesn't list hardly any of the most popular nickel varieties. I have a sinking feeling about my purchase, but I'm going to ask anyway: Is each edition of Cherrypicker's Guide only the NEW listings for that edition? In other words, you need to own edition 1 through 6 to have a complete set of listings? Report this Post to the Staff
