I just got my copy of the 19th edition.  Here's something that will make you wanna weep (I know it made me wanna cry):

In 1985 I bought a pristine UNC 1974 $2 replacement note (*UG) for [size=16]$4.50[/size].  I bargained the guy down from $8.00.

In 1991 I sold the note for $20.00.  Thought I had made a shrewd deal.

In 2005 (17th ed) Charlton's booked this note at $175.00.

This year the 19th ed books it at [size=16]$325.00![/size]

Ouch, and pass the Kleenex!!  What's that old saying about 20/20 hindsight?  :'( :-[ :o :-[ :'(

 Well it's not all bad...  I bought one in 1991 for $20 and still have it.  ;D
