Reader Reviews
Comprehensive: "So large in scope or content as to include much." The guide does indeed include a lot of cards. The guide states "...provides easy-to-use listings from all baseball manufacturers from 1948 to the present." and it's true that it does contain listings from all manufacturers. However, anyone planning on buying this guide should realize that there are enormous gaps. The guide often has gaps that span a half dozen or more years for major card companies like Upper Deck. When I bought the 2004 price guide I complained in a previous review that many of the sets I wanted to price were missing. In my naivety I figured that the 2005 price guide would fill in many of the gaps. I thought that Beckett would likely swap out some sets and replace them with others that were missing the previous year. My mistake. If you want listings for 1988 and 1989 Score traded sets you're in luck since they're in both the 2004 and 2005 price guides but if you want the regular sets too bad. So what does Beckett have against 1992 Upper Deck and 1991-2001 Fleer. Yes, the guide is missing 11 straight years of Fleer however 1990 Fleer appears in both guides. My 1988 Donruss set is MIA still I'm lucky that I didn't collect during the years from 1991-2001 for Donruss `cause they don't exist. I should give the guide a one star out of spite but I'll give it a two out of generosity.
