Description: From the Publisher
It's taken me almost twenty years in publishing to impress my big brother with my being a book editor -- and one of the books that finally did it was OFFICIAL PRICE GUIDE TO BASEBALL CARDS. Big Brother has been a collector for many years, has bought and sold whole baseball card collections, and he watches the Beckett values year in and year out. That's because he knows he can trust Beckett to provide accurate prices. Beckett fans will notice a change in the book this year -- three columns of prices per page, rather than two, and card face illustrations but no backs. That was done simply to provide more card values than ever before -- we needed the space! I don't know how anyone could keep track of all the new card sets without OPG TO BASEBALL CARDS!
