Beckett's Graded Card Investor Magazine

[Steve D]

Does anyone here subscribe to Graded Card Investor (GCI)?

I just received a copy of Beckett's Sports Card Monthly (SCM), with a notice that GCI has been discontinued "due to increasing paper & postage costs, as well as a limited reader base." They've converted all GCI subscriptions, to SCM subscriptions.

So, it looks like SMR is the only remaining publication devoted to graded and/or vintage card prices.

As for me, I immediately fired off an email to Beckett, cancelling my subscription and requesting a refund. I have absolutely no use for SCM, as I collect limited football, don't collect basketball or hockey at all, and don't collect the new shiny stuff. SCM only shows prices for post-1980 cards.

I guess that explains why I couldn't find a copy of GCI in the bookstore today. They should refund your money, SCM is a a poor excuse for a price guide.

Sorry to hear that--I thought GCI was alot better than SMR.

I liked that Mag - found the pricing info a lot of help - and really enjoyed the writting about vintage issues. That is were I found a great write-up on Leon and Net54 that helped me find this site. Page 20 Sept/Oct 2008 pictured with his daughter and talkinga about 1922 T231 Frank Baker.

That's probably why it went under.
