1. i think it is a very collectable item--i bought to use -however it came in a package not a box and the corners were all bent-so i will not be able to resell it-i'd also like it done by the years



2. Beckett annuals are an absolute necessity for collectors especially if you collect the non-standard issued items.

1. Important!
   All cards after the 2000 year are NOT in this book, rather they are on a CD that is included with the book
   in a PDF format. This is fine if you have access to a computer when you want to look something up, otherwise
   you will not have it available to you.
   
   The Annual SCD has always been useful for me as it lists cards that I do not find in other references.
   Additionally, the prices seem to fairly represent, for the most part, what I see them selling for, or at
   the very least, asking for.
   
   Where the book fails, however, is when they fail to list cards they know exist.
   As an example, in 2005 Donruss produced an autograph set. In some case the production levels of the cards are
   very low, under 30, but are known to exist. While it is perfectly acceptable to say that pricing information
   is insufficient, it is NOT acceptable to not list the card at all, thus depriving the reader/collector the
   tools they need to pursue a full set. If they have to get an additional reference guide to find this out,
   why bother getting this one? I have emailed the company and have hope they will correct this in future editions.



2. I haven't purchased a copy of "Standard Catalog of Baseball Cards" since 1997. I must say that they have really improved it 10 fold.



3. We weren't very satisfied because the book is nice., but the data isn't up to date., we thought we were purchasing a data book with all the prices in the book...well the current pricing is on a disc...Not in the book, therefore we weren't very happy...people should be aware of that., not all pricing is written.,



4. Bar none - This is the best baseball card collector's resource. Complete - from a comprehensive list of early cards to a CD update of the card available up to printing time. While one may not always get the price listed as the value in any of these guides, it is also great for insuring cars and collections. I would consider this a must have for anyone with a baseball card collection. You may be amazed, as I was, that some of you cards are worth quite a bit - while others really are best for putting in bike spoke to make the motorcycle sound!! A great investment!!



5. If you have ever been fed up with trying to look up a card in one of the monthly price guides only to find that the set isn't even listed or the subset totally omitted this is the book for you. The catalog has just about every thing from all the major brands to obsure issues. While the formating is a little hard to follow, the two indexs with both alphabetical and chronological makes it easy to find a set you are looking for.
   Not only is it worth the price but the 2010 edition even has some of this years sets on the cd that comes along with it.
   I've read the other review that poopoo the fact that all the modern issues are on the cd in pfd format but to be honest to have put all that in print would have required a whole nother volume or two. The listings are huge with even commons listed. Being a player collector this tome is invaluable looking up cards to get a base line on pricing. Another great feature is that each set has a little blurb about production and other interesting facts. Not to mention the book alone is huge and the information on the accompaning cd even more so. This book is the holy grail of baseball cards. Everything from the 1800's to 2009. Highly recommended for the serious or not so serious collector.

1. My wife purchased this book for me to look up my football cards from my youth. I was excited to receive it as I used to own beckett magazines as a teen to look up the prices of my cards. The problem soon became apparent, this is by no means a complete listing of prices and doesn't even come close to allowing me to look up prices for even a quarter of the cards I have. I'm sure it is okay for mainstream collections of brands such as Topps and UpperDeck but when it comes to even smaller collections of Topps specialty cards you won't be able to find them in this book, just keep that in mind.
