    Sold some old cherrypicker guides...

    Fellas, I gotta say...instead of looking for varieties all these years we should have been putting CPG's in storage by the case. They're worth more than most of the doubled dies! 😆
    I just sold a 6th edition vol 1 for $280 and a 5th edition vol 1 for $150. Not bad at all. All this info is free online, I'm unsure why these books are so expensive but happy to let them go to someone else. I honestly almost threw them away while cleaning up the basement.

    I found a 5th Ed Vol 1 at an estate sale a while back, and paid the outrageous sum of $5 for it. Didn't think much about it, then checked what they were selling for. Whoah! I didn't need it so sold it for $100 IIRC. I guess they have gone up a lot in the last year, so I should have waited.

    I just listed mine for sale. This was Abraham Lincoln's own personal copy from when he slaying evil time-traveling Chinese vampire counterfeiters. I swear. If any of you want to buy it, I'll autograph it for you with whatever you like at no extra charge.

    Some great prices realized.

    I just want to purchase some of the Cherry Picks from people who used these old volumes to put a value on their finds.
