Ok, to those of you that frequent the Beckett site or are members I have question.

Is one able to download checklists like one could in the past to an excel spreadsheet? Do you need to be a member for that??

Anyone with experience using their site for inventory at all??

Thanks,

    You can only DL complete player or set checklists if your paying for a priceguide. They come in locked PDF.

    You can do it on the Beckett website if you have a membership, but the site is pretty horrible overall and seems to work only about 80% of the time. The VCP checklist is pretty incomplete from a player collector's standpoint, and also does not currently list anything past 1999.

    It's not the neatest list, but you can get something you can copy and paste into Excel by doing this:

    Go to Beckett.com
    Type in the player name in the box that follows "Start your search" on the upper left by the magnifying glass
    Click on "List View" tab
    Sort by year
    In last dropdown, select the highest number for items per page

    LOL, I had no idea the player checklists were downloadable. I've spent the past couple nights painstakingly copy pasting to create my Marvin Harrison master list. But at least I was able to copy over the quantity I own so I don't have to go back through it. I have a Beckett football online this month so if anyone wants a pdf player list. Let me know.

    I bet all the people who say they hate the beckett site actually go there to get player checklists among other things... image

    IIRC; if you are a member of the Beckett site; you can get a PDF sans prices of any set checklist. I don't know if you can copy and paste that into excel

    Yes, Beckett's website SUCKS and is slow as molasses. I try to get on it every other month or so, but I lose my patients with it and quit. I used to go there to look up Cal Ripken's checklist and cut/paste it into an Excel file. You have to "Paste Special" and select "Unicode Text" so it looks right. After a little massaging, it's a usable/editable checklist.

    I will agree, except hate is a little strong...although I think we all agree it sucks. It does have the best player checklists, and every now and then I will even purchase from there.

    In the past it had the worst of all the forums due to the sheer amount of inmature kids that posted there. (Which is not to say that CU or other forums don't have them). But then a year ago now I guess they redid their site and made it completely unfriendly. Most left their forums to Freedom and other places. Let's hope they fired whoever was running the website, but being an American company he was likely promoted.

    Unfortunately, if they don't routinely fire the dart-throwing 'senior price analysts' who are responsible for the abomination that is the Beckett Price Guide then it's unlikely they canned the Mensa who designed the new website.
