Default beckett

I can totally relate to you...I used to love Beckett Monthly, but these days, it's tough to keep up with the internet and technology as a whole. I loved the hot and cold section, the great articles that included the pulls people had, and the "funnies" in the back section. We all know now that Beckett price guide is just a very loose guide to what a card's worth...even the SMR is pretty loose at times. But before the internet boom, Beckett wasn't too far off on the prices. The internet made cards very accessible and prices came down after that...I give credit to Beckett and what they used to have, just near impossible to be that consistent these days on a guide.
I used to be subscribed to Beckett graded quarterly and about a couple years ago I got a message saying they were shutting it down and not producing it anymore. I was pretty upset because I've always liked Beckett and I used it as a reference, but now I understand that it was inevitable.
