Beckett's new sports ticker...
Hi All,
I just noticed that Beckett has a little sports ticker like-thing going on on the homepage showing rises and falls in BV.
Is there some sort of link that shows all the rises and falls without me having to sit there for 40 minutes watching every topps mini gold card raise in BV, until I get to a card that I care about?

I was wondering the same thing, as the current ticker seems pretty pointless.

I made a thread about this is the beckett.com suggestions forum and nobody has chimed in. Its absolutely useless without being able to click it or sort it to see whats moved

One would think that if they had all the information in one place, enough to create a ticker system, that it would be able to be cut and pasted in post or something. Eh, maybe one day.

Hey its an improvement. maybe they are testing the forums to see every ones reaction on this. You can say they are trying so lets give them that. Another way you can see who is doing what and you can go to your organizer to check some cards yourself in the meantime

This was pretty much my reaction. I think it's awesome. But I also think I should be able to add another column to my custom view in ORD that shows that indicator. In any case, it is still pretty cool.

RE: Beckett's new sports ticker...
I saw it last week....didn't see anythng about it, so figured I missed something. It's not something (values) I spend any time on, but I thought it was a cool little add-in and adds a pizazz to the site re "real-time" pricing. I think it will come in handy as you can pin-point what series/group of cards has been "re-valued" that day (or feel your heart sink when a card of yours bottoms out....LOL). I don't know enough about the site after 2 years to still know what I'm missing so can't comment on price posting/listings

Not only pointless, but it bogs down my loading time when I open Beckett on my iPad. I wish it would just mysteriously disappear as quickly as it mysteriously appeared.
I guess if I saved used tinfoil and used tea bags instead of old comic books and old baseball cards, the difference between a crazed hoarder and a savvy collector is in that inherent value.

How come Gattis has all those red down arrows today?

He's out of the post-season .... out of sight / out of mind?
Who knows.
Hey, Maybe the arrows are controlled by some randomizer thingy?
