Baseball's Top 500: Card Checklist & Price Guide

Rating:
Summary: Don't let their price be your guide!
Review: Sports Collector's Digest (SCD) has been the authority on the sports card hobby for years. Like most of their previous publications, this one's full of good solid information and it includes a few photographs of key cards; however, anyone thinking of buying this book to use as a price guide should keep in mind that this was published in October of 1999 and is therefore not an up to date representation of current sports card prices. Depending on the player and issue, sports card prices can change dramatically in a very short period of time. If you're strictly looking for a price guide, then I suggest you pick up the most current issue of a monthly price guide magazine which will have pricing information that more accurately reflects the current market. This guide will put you in the "ballpark" in terms of pricing, but I recommend it more for research and information than for accurate pricing. Overall, a useful read for anyone interested in sports cards.
