I know I picked it up a few times and put it back over a few card store visits and don't remember if I ever broke down and bought it.

I hadn't read one since 2012 and I was disappointed to find they had ditched readers write and most of the articles. Replaced instead with price guide crap which I never ever read. The few articles were just whining about how Jeremy Lin cards weren't selling for as much as they did a few months previously. No history of the sport or cards was presented. I don't even remember who is on the cover, I threw it in a box in my storage unit, probably never to be seen again.Billy Kingsleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847326710191224832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6673889727117377790.post-31078109032202801552017-08-10T12:01:21.309-07:002017-08-10T12:01:21.309-07:00June 2015.

There were more articles and color photography – full page shots of players. So much advertising by the end of the 90s!! I do have an online price guide subscription (but not to the magazine itself) to track my collection, using it as a database. I think Beckett is becoming irrelevant with today’s online shopping habits. Prices are harder to track due to volume. I’ve watched prices climb for cards out of the 90s (Donruss Elite etc) selling for much more than BV. I'm sure most of us pay whatever we think is fair for the card we want. I haven't used the guide to shop since I returned to the hobby.
