I buy them at Goodwill stores, flea markets, garage sales etc. Usually I find them for a buck or less and like you like to look at old values. I have picked up other old price guides this way too. I'll get a list of what years I have eventually and post in this thread.

I have every issue ever made. Started collecting them a long time ago and now have all of them. The first ones have been well used but after a while I started getting one for the collection and one a few for usage. Most of the ones in my Red Book collection have never been opened. Just sit on a shelf getting older. |

Getting older and hopefully increasing in value.

I'd buy as many 1964 Kennedy half dollars for 50 cents as I could find. I also have a stack of old Red Books going back to 1965, minus a few from the 80's, |

Very cool okiepb! I would like to find one from my birth year 1962. The oldest one I have is from 1963 that my grandpa gave me and on the inside cover the price of the book is noted as 1 dollar, in pencil even! |

I've got the 32nd Edition, 1979. It is neat to look through and see the price difference. Not sure of the value on the book. It's in really good condition. I'd sell it.
