Cherrypickers Guide Vol. 1

I am interested in buying a copy of the Cherrypickers Guide Vols. 1&2, but volume 1 is so cost prohibitive. Does anyone know why this is, or where I can find a cheaper one?

    Just checked and Wow, that volume IS expensive.

    As to volume I, I suspect not many were printed. My speculation, no facts to base that on.

    I just sold mine on ebay for 280 bucks. The book is worth more than many of the varieties inside it!

    I am going to list the fifth edition vol 1 shortly if there is any interest here.

    limited edition books out of print sell for big bucks thanks to amazon

    I wonder if DLRC will do a second printing or ebook of some of Whitmans in demand book archive?

    My copy is bound upside down.

    Fifth edition Vol 1 is listed for $9.99...as an E-Book, if you don't need the latest.

    The text is upright. It's the cover that is upside down. :)

    I am looking for a hard copy, not an ebook, that is my problem. :|

    I have the second edition in near-mint condition. I didn't see any on eBay, but there were a couple first editions.

    So I listed the 5th edition volume one last night before I went to bed, and it sold for $150 before I awoke. I wish I never wasted my time looking for the varieties. The money was in the books! Lol

    I sold all of mine for immense profit. I have the 6th editions in both hard and pdf and that will work for me. I think the reason all of the Volume l's are so high is because they are the ones covering the most collected coins. Just an opinion.

    It’s a coin book. We call it that a “rotation error”.

    Buy a case and put it away. You'll be happy in 5 years 😊
