Hi Barry--most of the cost of the guide comes from the printing and binding. So, we decided to put it on CD just before Christmas and cut the cost by half. That helps out everyone. The collector can print out only the section they collect, or if you are like me and collect it all, you can print out the entire guide yourself. It will also be handy in your computer. Right now I have listed over 7,525 slot cards and you can only imagine what that would cost to have "kinkos" print all those pages. So this was the best way possible to have a new price guide with only half the price. I'll have more info next month. I had a ball writing the article for Jessica. Pat
