About Our Publications

How Beckett Determines Prices

The prices reflected in our monthly magazines and annual Price Guide books are derived from realized and reported secondary market sales and common asking prices of cards. It is simply our interpretation of market forces, but not our opinion of what we feel the card should be worth. We take many segments of the market into account, such as retail card shop prices, card shows, print ads, mail order catalogs and on-line trading.
