They both have their values under the PF grade.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 02/13/2021 6:49 pm I don't think either the Red Book or the Blue Book is much more than a broad guideline as far as pricing goes, but the Red Book has a wealth of other information. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 02/13/2021 7:08 pm Well, theoretically the Blue Book shows "prices you can sell at". It's okay for newbies, but pretty useless when you think about it - in this day and age, there are just so many better valuation options (auction results, ebay, etc.). Report this Post to the Staff
