5.0 out of 5 stars The Most Sought After Price Guide In The Hobby, August 31, 2001

By	carl womack (north carolina) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Folks, let's make this nice and simple, Beckett Price Guides are the most accepted price guides in the world PERIOD No other racing price guide even comes close to the popularity of Beckett. Collectors the WORLD over look enthusiastically for each new Beckett release. As for this book, I dare say you will not find another publication that covers its listings in greater detail. This book lists thousands of cards and hundreds of die-cast car values. With the card listings, many sets are given a value along with vital information about each one. Then many sets are broken down into listings for each individual card and a value placed on each card. There's listings for vintage sets as well as some of the more popular ones. Photos are included as well as special notations about things like error cards, rare subsets and the like. This guide will be a big help to anyone interested in the racing hobby. Beckett guides are the ONLY ones I currently use.

1.0 out of 5 stars Outdated Price Guide, June 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Beckett Racing Price Guide and Alphabetical Checklist (Beckett Racing Collectibles Price Guide) (Paperback)

Soon after the release of the Beckett Racing Price Guide, the Beckett Racing & Motorsports Marketplace monthly magazine drastically reduced the book value of most trading cards. In doing so, Beckett rendered their own Beckett Racing Price Guide useless. The racing trading card enthusiast would be better off subscribing to the monthly magazine.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the pricing Bible for auto racing cards, June 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Beckett Racing Price Guide and Alphabetical Checklist (Beckett Racing Collectibles Price Guide) (Paperback)

Beckett Price Guides have been around forever. With only the third edition printed specifically for auto racing cards, this has quickly become the only guide you'll need to evaluate your entire collection!
