My local card store is great, but the owner is definitely not a pre-war era guy. I asked him about a good guide and he sold me last year's Beckett Guide (not the Almanac) at a discount (though not a great discount). Upon opening the plastic wrap I almost immediately realized that this guide would not be sufficient. I figured I could WTB a 2009 or 2010 Beckett Almanac from the Net54 community but then I wondered if the Almanac was even the best way to go. So, what do you'll suggest as the best guide for pre-war issue cards? And would anyone be willing to sell me their old one for cheap?
