Don't let their price be your guide!
Sports Collector's Digest (SCD) has been the authority on the sports card hobby for years. Like most of their previous publications, this one's full of good solid information and it includes a few photographs of key cards; however, anyone thinking of buying this book to use as a price guide should keep in mind that this was published in October of 1999 and is therefore...

Not bad if you like incomplete checklists...
I just recently purchased this book off of Amazon, and once I started going through it, I quickly became disappointed. I have a very small stack of about 20 Bob Feller cards, and a few of them were not even listed, so I'm sure that there are several other Feller cards that are missing. I bought this book because I wanted to collect every Bob Feller card ever made, and...

This review is from: Baseball's Top 500: Card Checklist & Price Guide (Paperback)
Sports Collector's Digest (SCD) has been the authority on the sports card hobby for years. Like most of their previous publications, this one's full of good solid information and it includes a few photographs of key cards; however, anyone thinking of buying this book to use as a price guide should keep in mind that this was published in October of 1999 and is therefore not an up to date representation of current sports card prices. Depending on the player and issue, sports card prices can change dramatically in a very short period of time. If you're strictly looking for a price guide, then I suggest you pick up the most current issue of a monthly price guide magazine which will have pricing information that more accurately reflects the current market. This guide will put you in the "ballpark" in terms of pricing, but I recommend it more for research and information than for accurate pricing. Overall, a useful read for anyone interested in sports cards.

This review is from: Baseball's Top 500: Card Checklist & Price Guide (Paperback)
I just recently purchased this book off of Amazon, and once I started going through it, I quickly became disappointed. I have a very small stack of about 20 Bob Feller cards, and a few of them were not even listed, so I'm sure that there are several other Feller cards that are missing. I bought this book because I wanted to collect every Bob Feller card ever made, and now I am right back where I started - without a complete Bob Feller checklist. Also, though no fault of the author's, this book only goes up through 1999, so nothing from 2000-present will be listed, and the prices listed for each card are sure to be a little out of date.
The good things about this book are that every major player you may want to collect will be listed, and they are in alphabetical order for easy reference. Bottom line: Nice book if you just want to collect a handful of your favorite player's cards, but if you're going for a complete collection, I can't recommend it. |
