The really really rare guides are those OOP obviously were there was one print run only...best example known to me is Bayonetta and the GOTY Fallout CE HB guide.
You also have to check the Publisher...Piggyback are usually reprinting most of their guides. Not the case of Futurepress...and quality wise FuturePress is far far better.
Think Killzone 2,3 CE or the Fallout 3 Softback edition...as for Bradygames it really depends on their release, older guides not necessary CE's, were great and color full but they tend to be sensible and needed like comics almost dust jackets to protect them.
I say if you get a bargain on any guides CE or not, then go for it if you are collecting with no resell in mind. Otherwise I hope the above gives some insight.
That is superb information and really helpful - appreciate you taking the time to post it up for us

Thanks!
