Invaluable guide for those of us working on older sets
Even the monthly Beckett Price Guide cannot possibly keep up with the explosion of basketball cards produced by all the companies putting out cards each year. All they end up doing is focusing on the name cards on the stars and relegating most of the players to common or minor star status.But if you are trying to put together a set of 1973-74 Topps, 1986-87 Fleer, 1992-93 Hoops or any one of the sets out for 1999-2000, then you need to know ALL the cards so you are prepared for dealers who organize their cards by number or team or player's name. With the "Beckett Official Price Guide to Basketball Cards" you can find out what you need to know. True, in practical terms the prices quoted are going to be obsolete by the time you track down those cards you want, but the best thing about all of these Price Guides is that they list all the cards, including all the extras, bonuses, 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 you head out to the card shows or your local card shop.

A Superior Basketball Card Reference
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 isnonetheless a superior reference work. This inexpensive paperback providesthe collector with a handy price guide for the major mainstream sets, in aconvenient mass market format. It is often found for sale not only inregular bookstores, but on racks at newsstands and retail outlets. Thepictures inside are small but give the collector a good idea of what thecards look like, both front and back. Veteran collectors might consider theprices a bit high, but such is the case with most card guides. It is notvery difficult to find a street level or card show dealer who hawks theirwares at "20 to 50% off Beckett." A couple of things you won'tfind, however, in this otherwise helpful shorthand guide are a detailedhistory of the hobby or listings for the many attractive minor issue setssought by advanced collectors. For that, you will have to seek out otherbooks by experts in the basketball card hobby. --Mike Bonner, author ofCOLLECTING BASKETBALL CARDS, A Complete Guide With Prices.
