  • Which items will have pricing?

    Which items will have pricing?

    While we make every effort to price all of the most commonly traded raw (non-graded) single cards in our database, there will be some that do not have Beckett Price Guide values. For recently released products it typically takes up to two weeks to analyze the market and to assign values and, for most cards serial numbered to 15 or less (and other non-serial numbered scarce issues), scarcity and/or lack of market activity prohibit us from assessing an accurate valuation. Also many ancillary cards that primarily trade as complete sets, such as minor league team sets, will not have single card values assigned. Some additional sports, such as soccer and boxing will be included in our checklist data but not yet fully priced as will be some non-sports properties such as action figures. Finally, most complete sets and unopened material, such as boxes, cases and packs, have not been assigned market values.

  • How can I report a card or pricing error?

  • How do I know which condition to select?

    How do I know which condition to select?

    1. If your card has been graded and slabbed by one of the third party services, such as BGS, then select the grading company from our pull down list. Then select the grade featured on the label from the Card Condition pull down list.

    2. If your card has not been slabbed and graded, often called "raw," then make the condition selection you feel best matches your card's condition. However, keep in mind that most newer cards pulled straight from packs are commonly considered NM-MT and not Mint, so this should be the default condition selected in most cases. NM-MT is the condition level used for raw cards in Beckett print price guides - Beckett HI book value is NM-MT condition for modern era cards. Therefore, it is likely that you will see the same appraisal value whether you select NM-MT or Mint for the raw condition since Mint seldom receives a true value premium unless graded and slabbed.
