Just opened the most recent Rare Coin Market Report and noticed it's a lot thinner. They have removed the price guide portion which I think is a good move, that information is available on the website and more up to date than a paper copy. The smaller bulk is also greatly appreciated.

I also agree. It was a pleasant surprise to read many more interesting articles. The PCGS Price Guide is always available in a near-instant online.
By the way, it's interesting that over the last 20 years, PGCS has provided more and more free online content that they used to charge for (Pop reports, Coinfacts).
Sometimes this can drive more web traffic and therefore increase in ad fees. Sounds good to me.

Agree, a big improvement. Leaving out the Price Guide will save a lot of paper!
Yup. The price guide was out of date the minute they printed. Really not necessary when there are plenty of online, up-to-date options for pricing info

Nope. I like a paper copy hanging around. I agree every edition is overkill, but I would like to see it included in a least one of the editions per year; preferably in the first or last one.

Not a fan.
I like it a lot!
BUT... How about a few pages of price guide that highlight some of the more significant up and down price changes?!

Maybe I missed something but I tried the digital version today for the first time and was surprised to see that there is no way to enlarge the font or view of the page. I've tried " coin worlds " digital and it's fantastic . you can zoom or enlarge to any magnification you choose. My eyesight isn't what it use to be but Coin worlds display has PCGS beaten hands down.

Yeah I tried that but it's impossible to view a whole magazine that way.

I just enlarged this page and it stayed large until the viewable page ended. You might have to do it every time you change pages but it would let you be able to read it.
@GRANDAM
Try looking at sample issue of " coin world " magazine and you'll see what I'm getting at.
