The Beckett Blog

The 30th edition of the Beckett Baseball Card Price Guide annual book packed out and hit the delivery system Friday morning.

Pallets and pallets and pallets of individual boxes of books headed for retailers should start arriving in your neighborhood in about 10 days.

Dr. Beckett put the first annual book together in 1979 on his Bowling Green, Ohio, kitchen table. That book listed the 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle #311 at $500 in Mint condition. Today, it lists in the HI column at about $30,000.
