5.0 out of 5 stars BUY THE BOOK NOW!, April 6, 2000
By A Customer
I think that you should buy the book Beckett offical price guide to basketball cards because you can find all of the prices to any of your cards! You can also check off the cards you have in the boxes next to the card name. Now I know all the prices to all my basketball cards because there are more than 40,000 prices.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Superior Basketball Card Reference, May 11, 2000
By Michael Bonner (Eugene, Oregon) - See all my reviews
Beckett Publications has issued the most recent version of their ever-popular basketball card price guide. Although it is not as comprehensive as Krause's Standard Catalog of Basketball Cards, it is nonetheless a superior reference work. This inexpensive paperback provides the collector with a handy price guide for the major mainstream sets, in a convenient mass market format. It is often found for sale not only in regular bookstores, but on racks at newsstands and retail outlets. The pictures inside are small but give the collector a good idea of what the cards look like, both front and back. Veteran collectors might consider the prices a bit high, but such is the case with most card guides. It is not very difficult to find a street level or card show dealer who hawks their wares at "20 to 50% off Beckett." A couple of things you won't find, however, in this otherwise helpful shorthand guide are a detailed history of the hobby or listings for the many attractive minor issue sets sought by advanced collectors. For that, you will have to seek out other books by experts in the basketball card hobby. --Mike Bonner, author of COLLECTING BASKETBALL CARDS, A Complete Guide With Prices.
