Unitrade does not price cutting guidelines for booklets of any issue except the Wildings or Centennials, and for those they suggest a 300% premium. I have handled several thousand booklets from BK28 to BK45 and I can tell you that cutting guidelines on these booklets are just as scarce as for other issues, so a 300% premium, or in this case $180 for this booklet is not at all out of line.
