Howdy’s guide is in black and white and hard to see the pictures clearly and has a lot of mistakes that haven’t been corrected. I’m not sure if it has been updated.

Richard Anderson’s has great clear colored pictures and very few mistakes, the only draw back is that his full version ends in 2001 and there are yearly supplements after that. If you follow a casino with a still current strike program you will need to search through seven supplements to follow the program. All needs to be melded into one and values updated.

Bill Conhour’s guide is just that, a good reference source with every strike, year minted and is current to the day he prints it for you. It also has a “price guide” prices are averaged out for the last six years. Use it along with the club website accual pictures of every strike and you can’t go wrong.
