I still have the very first Beckett/Eckes Price guide- one of my favorite reads when I was a kid. The book nearly doubled in size in one year !
I have the first and second issue and yes it totally exploded from 1 year to the next. I have the third one too from 1981 and the prices fell pretty bad because of the early 80s recession.
