"You write very long" but still dodge the question about the
relevance of the Red Book today or any evidence of your assertions.
Who promotes this "United Stares[sic] numismatic canon?" It would be
just as accurate and just as inaccurate to assert that PCGS registry
sets control what people do and don't collect.

And in case you didn't notice, _you_ suggested using the Red Book
for pricing. Quoting, "simply because the poltroons can't look them
up in the Red Book. Conversely, they are often wildly overpriced for
the same reason." I guess that makes your "veteran dealer" a poltroon.

I know how I'm betting.
