Is there a rule of thumb to use for the value of a label on an embossed BIM? These are all common (around $2 without labels), but I am wondering about how much more they're worth with this much label.
Thanks

not that I'm aware of.

My own opinion, for what it is worth is ..

Any medicine with a decent mostly complete label increases the value of the bottle.
Common/late bottles dont benefit much from poor looking deteriorated labels.
Rare/early bottles typically benefit from even partial labels.
Lables with interesting graphics can increase bottle values significantly.

Thanks for the opinion. I recently got your CD & it has already become the first source I go to for new-to-me medicines. It has also saved me some money. I'm to new at this to feel comfortable pricing some of the bottles I have had an opportunity to buy without some backup reference.
