Mark, Al, Paul...great answers ALL. Your responses really illustrate one my favorite aspects of this great hobby "subjectivity".
I have a clarifying question for you Paul. I LOVE your book and it has provided me untold hours of enjoyment. I understand the book is a "guide" but I'm hoping to better understand how to use it. You picture a 1968 Tigers World Series pin in your book that features printed ribbons X326. You place a value of $75 on that pin. If the example YOU own did not have those ribbons, would you still have assigned a value of $75? I think I know how you will answer, but I don't want to make assumptions.
