5.0 out of 5 stars Awestruck, November 21, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: 2008 Standard Catalog of Baseball Cards (Paperback)
I think this has every card ever manufactured in it. Well, maybe not, but it sure seems like it. I was very impressed by the volume of cards and prices listed. I don't know if this is the "definitive" card pricing guide, but it's awful close. Use this and you should be able to price 99% of your cards.

4.0 out of 5 stars GINORMOUS IN SIZE AND INFORMATION: 1848 PAGES TO DROOL OVER, March 1, 2008
This review is from: 2008 Standard Catalog of Baseball Cards (Paperback)
This is "almost excellent" Encyclopedia of Baseball cards and price guide. Its physical size and the enormous volume of information gathered and updated every year makes this book indispensable it's a must and certainly has its place in my/our/your library.
The total number of pages 1848 and the number of entries is Ginormous. Due to the scope of researched necessary to put this fantastic guide book the "Standard Catalog Of Baseball Cards" year after year by professionals the best in the field is one the reasons amateurs and expert professionals in the field use this as their primary tool for research and investigation about anything concerning Baseball Cards throughout history.
If you are a beginner buy it soon, before it is divided into separate volumes as KRAUSE has done with other guide books.
The reason I gave [4] ]FOUR STARS instead of five is simple, although better than "The Official Beckett Price Guide to Baseball Cards" it has similar shortcomings as their other Krause guides, complete sections of information are missing and generally not fixed by the following year guide, incorrect or missing a few details, some description, and does pesky prices.
Regarding prices use this and any other price guide must be used with the understanding that prices in all collectible items, specially does that investors and speculators are involved fluctuate daily, if you have followed any kind of auction you probably have noticed when 2, 3, or more of the same items and condition sell for different prices sometimes with significant differences. Collecting Antiques, Sport Cards, or Coins among others is a fine hobie worthy of the best help when available. Good luck.
