John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 08/24/2013 2:16 pm Just got at a yard sale for $1. Questions: Should I try to erase the pencil marks? What value might it have? Thanks all, John1 Edited by John1 08/24/2013 2:31 pm Report this Post to the Staff

bpoc1 Rest in Peace United States 4078 Posts	Posted 08/24/2013 3:11 pm Nice buy John! I would not erase the marks, it gives it history. Do not know value. Report this Post to the Staff

pyrbob Rest in Peace United States 1943 Posts	Posted 08/25/2013 11:36 am I have a box full of different editions of both the Star Rare Encyclopedia and the Star Coin Book. They are inexpensive to buy and fun to look through. I have been told by a major book seller the 1st through 10th editions are valuable but the rest are extremely common.

Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 08/27/2013 05:42 am I agree on leaving the marks. You would do damage to the book if you tried to remove them. Report this Post to the Staff
