As promised, the Beckett Graded Card Price Guide book has hit store shelves. The 384-page softcover book features a young Mickey Mantle on the cover and will tell you what your graded sports cards are worth (at least in the estimation of the book's pricing analysts).
Fortunately for collectors of other sports besides baseball, the book includes pricing data for football, basketball, golf, hockey, racing, non-sports and even Magic The Gathering cards.
The book uses data from the three most popular grading companies, Beckett Grading, PSA and SGC, however the listed prices are by condition rather than by company. In the case of vintage cards, where condition differences of even one point can result in wide fluctuations in value, up to eight grades per card are listed.
The book is priced at $19.95 in the U.S. and $22.95 in Canada but you can also check prices for the book on Amazon.com.
