Title: The Blue Sheet
Post by: trout on November 25, 2013, 11:02:26 PM
I started using the Blue Sheet a couple of years ago and the free site is quite useful.
When Walter added the Decimal section I decided to subscribe to the site and WOW that opened up sooo much information.
Everything is listed in Sheldon grades so if you are not familiar or happy with that then don't use the site.
I have ( after much soul searching, fighting and debate)  learned that this system of grading is here to stay so I may as well learn how to use it :ok:

The values given on the site are a result of live market research from many sources and IMHO Bloody accurate and up to date.

Don't get me wrong I LOVE my Maccas  books, I buy them every year  and take them with me wherever I go and read them cover to cover and are a great comfort to me when I am away from my collection.

The subscription is a little bit "Pricey" but it is a matter of getting what you pay for I think, everything is up to date and if you want to keep your finger on the pulse of trends and values Blue Sheet is the way to go :ok:

Thank you Walter for your due diligence and hard work keeping this site up to date Mate :good:

Just wondering if you could do a yearly subscription Walter with a discount so that tight arses like me could save a few quid Mate :)

Thanks for the feedback, we actually do offer yearly rates, they're just not published on the site anymore. They are $34.95, $89.95, $239.95 and $540 for the bronze, silver, gold and platinum subscriptions respectively. I'm in a rush to make it to the 9:30am session at Nobles at the moment (still in Canberra) but send me an e-mail and I'll set a yearly rate up for you. :D

Yeah I've been using it for a few years now to make sure I'm not paying too much for a slabbed coin.If you are able to grade a raw coin yourself the site is equally helpful

I agree, it always concerns me when a dealer quotes prices straight from maccas particularly when it comes to banknotes and ram issues.

The bluesheet prices reflect real world prices much better in my opinion,  also provides knowledge about series, strikes, hoards of certain years and other useful information.

That's a gold subscription - PM me and I'll give you a free trial and let you decide for yourself if it's worth it.
