MattI find very little value in printed price guides. It used to be that Beckett dictated the market since auction/sale results weren't easily available. Now that they are, what something actually sold for has to be preferred over what Beckett claims it's worth.
Last week there some clown on ebay selling a Poor condition '33 Gehrig for something like $4,000 and he quoted Beckett as his justification; I'm sure even Beckett didn't say that, but my point to him was that actual sale prices are what something is worth.
