Got the large print edition and it looks like they have the pricing reversed for the 2008-W reverse of 07 and reverse of 08?

that they did
That represents a chance for some vest-pocket dealers to score.

Ah yes, the ol’ reversed reverse reversed pricing.
Its terrible
My normal size 2026 RB spiral has similar, but not same mistake. Bottom left column says 2008W Rev 2008 with correct mintage of 46,318 and values 420 , 455 , 1,100 then top right column has 2008W reverse 2007 mintage 533,757 and values of 55 , 55 , 90 based on $32.50 oz silver. Coincidentally page 355
My 2025 RB Hardbound on page 381 has correct variety descriptions and pricing. I picked up the 2025 same time I bought 2026 because it was last copy with Kenneth Bressett on cover, seemed a good reason to have last old fashion version as a companion to new owners version. There are a few changes I've noticed between the pair but not the mistake you posted about. I only buy random years, maybe 2 or 3 a decade. Redbook Mega X is on my shopping radar this Spring
I can no longer easily post pics here as I did for years, instant images are no problem on facebook but not here.
So words are all I can offer.
Mine is the same as yours. I am always eagle-eyed in spotting Red Book errors, but this one went right past me. :-)
this error was fixed for the 2027 edition which is going to press soon, and will be available in time for ANA WFoM.

@JohnF Thank you for providing much more realistic pricing than found in previous Redbooks.
One suggestion - please go back to the simple coil bound Rebook design rather than the double ring configuration. My double ring Redbook is already falling apart after 6 months while the binding of my heavily used simple coil Redbooks are all in good shape.
When I received the 2026 double ring spiral, I noticed most pages were stuck together at the square punch holes. I did not like pages sticking together so I methodically went page by page and carefully & fully unstuck them. I have had no tear outs. Once the punched squared holes are fully unstuck, they do not get re-stuck.
