I think that I will buy one also. I am curious as to how this compares to Overstreet.

It can't hurt. Maybe the guide will explain the current grading scale and take some of the mystery out of the difference between a 9.8 & a 9.6 and so on.

He wrote a book that's not colouring?

Can it be slabbed?

Step 1: Grade your book

Step 2: Replace it with Ren & Stimpy #1

Step 3: Profit!

I'm going to guess because it's higher than what people would expect. However, it's in full color, and even with printing a book in China (not sure if they did or not) it's an expensive endeavor.  And if they are going to sell it as a standalone (not revised yearly, like an Overstreet) they are possibly wanting to recoup the R&D for the book on the first print run. $79.99? Maybe more? Design, literary and architectural standards books are $150+, I could see this being one of those kinds of books. At 400 pages - all joking aside - it's going to be a nice book to own on grading. I'd invest in one.

This should be interesting...  

[rexinnih]

Looks interesting. Rather thick book and even with plenty of photos, is the process a bit over engineered?

I guess I'll have to buy one and find out...  

[chrisco37]

If I pre-order, do I get a free or discounted copy of the Pedigree Book?
