Redbook

I still remember reading The Red Book when I was a kid.

Interesting "find" there BadThad!

Now here is my not so interesting Red Book story... A week or two ago I was watching The Celebrity Apprentice and their task involved RedBook Magazine. Of course when I first heard them utter " RedBook" that night, I got very excited, only to be quickly disappointed.

I agree that the wealth of information is invaluable. I am fairly upset that the greysheet has become available to everyone with $4. The problem is that people don't realize how the hobby works and that these are static price guides and cannot be deviated from.

The Red Book Lists the 1994 at 225.00

When will 2009 Red Book be out? I thought it was usually in April sometime?

Way, way back I started to purchase the book that just came out called the Red Book. Had to. No other books on coins were in existance that I knew of so had to buy that one. Started making that book a few years after I started collecting. I saved all of them ever since. To bad when I was a kid I handeled them so bad. Now I buy one hard cover for the Red Book collection and several ringed versions for around the house. Haven't even opened a hard covered one in many, many years. Basically a pile of junk for prices now. For a true coin guide it's one of the best but for prices, since it now comes out almost a year in advance, the prices are useless.
