I thought that price was too good to be true, and indeed it was. The set that I mentioned yesterday is the old series, not the revised one. Thanks to Mike Jarvis for pointing it out. I was thrown off by the fact that 1) some volumes in the new series are now available; 2) CBD sent out word of this in a marketing email, suggesting this was something new; 3) the set isn’t going to be available for another month (?? – that sure is misleading, isn’t it?; a set that has been out for more than 10 years “will be released on 10/31/06”; is it CBD’s intent to make you think this is the revised set?); 4) the cover is different than that on the set I own.
I still think that this old set is worth $120, but if it were me, I would cancel the order and wait for the new set. I apologize for not investigating this more carefully before posting.

Here I go to cancel my order…. You’ve really let me down this time, Todd.
It’s ok.
We appreciate the effort you put into sharing all these things with us.

awww man! bummer :(
I bought the original set years ago and still use it frequently. It is still an amazing deal for those who want a trusted commentary set for a fraction of the normal price.
Thanks for the great posts, Todd!
