Beckett Value for Graded Cards

I got an email this morning from Beckett, that they're publishing a 160+ page "Guide" on Graded Cards??

I know that only a select few are interested in knowing the BVs, I am, but only for personal interest, but has anyone got any info on it???

I'm interested in knowing the BV Difference on a card in raw and Gem 10 condition, can anyone help?

Great question Scotty, looking forward to see some of the responses!

A agree. I'm curious too for personal interest. All I've ever seen is those couple of pages they add at the back of a Beckett!

interesting indeed..... but most of the cards are very limited.. coz some of the cards graded are already numbered.. and not everyone chose to grade them.. so i don't really believe in BV except products like topps chrome, classic upper deck, topps (those have centering issues and etc)..

Exactly....I'm a die hard wade graded card collector....and I have payed twice as much or more than bv for certain cards....a lot of the graded card pricing, depends on how rare the cards are in the population report..you can fetch a much higher premium if it is say only 1/2 bgs 9.5 or 1/1 bgs 10.

I'll probably pick up the guide but I basically go by how much the cards have been selling for on ebay.

Here's the link to my wade collection.

I'm not sure what you mean Linn.

I'm asking if anyone has any info on the 160+ page booklet that Beckett are talking about.

Not if people believe in BVs or not.

I'm just after the differences in a particular card raw, and Pristine, so by asking for some info about the booklet, I might be able to find out.

EDIT:
Thanks Tony.

I might try and see if there's an online subscription.

Scotty,

Gotcha. No probs Linn.

Not a lot of people use them, or believe in them, I just use them for Insurance purposes.

And I'm interested in knowing what they "value" a card I have incoming.

Yes.. your Harris collection is amazing, i mean, graded collection.. (saw you had alot of cards graded not too long ago)...

so, it's good for you to catch up with your collection.. actually i love graded cards... and i just wish that grading companies would operate their branches here in Australia, that would be so comfortable and will definitely boost the collecting..
