2.0 out of 5 stars Not thorough enough, April 14, 2007

I had not bought a Beckett guide in six years and was disappointed with how many sets have been left out. No longer can you find prices on odd-ball sets such as Coke, Hostess, Kelloggs, Post, Burger King, Squirt, etc. The guide is still sufficient for the main brands (Topps, Fleer, etc.), but for me the former should be included as well - it is not like it takes up many pages. Also the checklist style (with the box) is not used. If you have oddball sets, this is not for you.

This is a good product for the collector or dealer that that is interested in mainstream issues and the more widely known limited distribution sets.However if your interests are more ecclectic and you like the more obscure and less traded or sold products....forget it. For those people I suggest Sports Collectors Digest Standard Catalog of Baseball Cards.This is equally true of Becketts Price Guides for Football and Basketball.In short if you stick with Topps and the other nationally distributed sets Beckett is OK.If you are looking for regional or otherwise limited production products your wasting your time; SCD is MY choice.

This book essentially is a Beckett PLUS (which comes out every 2 months) with more details (such as every card in each set is listed). There aren't really any oddball sets priced, which I guess is what the Beckett Baseball Almanac is for. Overall the book is very useful since it gives complete checklists and some extra details about each set. I just wish more oddball sets were listed so I wouldn't have to buy the Almanac book as well.
