Price guide recommendations

royalbrett

Hello all,
I have always used the price guides as easy and simple way to look up what cards have the most value in a set and also as a listing of the rookie cards in each set (baseball only). It has been so long that the most recent guide I have is a Beckett Baseball card plus from 2005. Please note, I do not use it for determining a card's price.
I tried to figure out if they even make these anymore or not. What is available out there?

they still publish Beckett. I think they are it for print price guides though.

I use the Beckett Almanac for exactly the reasons you mentioned.

They still make Beckett....its around 10 bucks per now, but I get about one per year. The pricing is a joke, but it is good for a quick reference for insert sets, rookies, etc

kind of sad that Beckett is really all that is left. I loved the heyday of hobby publications. I think Tuff Stuff was may favorite, but also read sportscard trader, baseball cards, baseball card magazine, collectors sportsview (best pictures as i recall), Topps magazine, SCD. It seems there was a ton more, just cant remember off the top of my head

The Beckett magazine is worthless to me, but I buy the Almanac once every 2 years because it catalogs a lot of the oddball sets and team issues I collect. I use it for checklists and the brief set descriptions and it’s helped me get new sets recognized by PSA.

Agreed.
