5.0 out of 5 stars great source for the basketball collector, December 19, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Beckett Basketball Card Price Guide No. 8 (Paperback)

This is a great source for the basketball collector. It is the most recent of the annual beckett price guides and provides listings for card sets that can't be found such as classic, scoreboard, chivas de guadalajara, and 5-sport sets. no card is left out has been left out. This updated book now gives you updated values for some of Kobe Bryant's rarest cards like the Scoreboard Die-Cut and the Chivas de Guadalajara team set Kobe RC edition. This book is recommended to all collectors.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the book you need to put together your want lists, June 11, 2001

This review is from: Beckett Basketball Card Price Guide No. 8 (Paperback)

Look, we all know that monthly price guides cannot possibly keep up with the explosion of basketball cards produced by all the companies putting out cards today. All they can do is focus on the name cards on the stars. But if you are trying to put together a set of 1957-58 Topps, 1986-87 Fleer or 1992-93 Hoops, then you need to know ALL the cards so you are prepared for dealers whether they organize their cards by number or team or player's name. With the "Beckett Basketball Card Price Guide" you have your best chance to find out exactly what is out there. True, in practical terms the prices quoted have a chance of being obsolete by the time you track down the cards you want, but the key thing about all of these Price Guides is that they list all the cards, including all the extras, bonsues, special sets and the like. Whether you are looking for a card of this year's MVP, Allen Iverson or Ernie Calverley (he was on the first basketball card put out by Bowman in 1948), this is the book you want to use to put together your want lists when I head out to the card shows.

4.0 out of 5 stars This was a good book had almost every set ever created, January 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Beckett Basketball Card Price Guide (Paperback)

I thought this book was pretty good. It had almost every basketball card set ever printed. It also showed photos of what the cards looked like. It contained NBA, Draft Picks, and College Cards. It even had International cards listed.
