John, Although I think the BBGV's is a great book, I have to also say that I believe it is slanted in favor of the dealer as far as retail value is concerned... I don't have the same faith in the contributing dealers to the BBGV's book as you, because I have no history with them, or at least very few of them, and what little I've had, hasn't been all that good.... On the other hand, I have had many years of trading, buying and selling with members of this forum and have yet to have a bad experience... Many of these guys are also members of NAPCA, and they truly are the experts!! And most are not dealers... An old saying I once heard was, "Who's watching the watchers??" All books and publications are subject to scrutiny... No-one gets a free ride on that... best to you, til...lat'r...GT
