Does anyone use the beckett online price guide subscription service? I have a ton of old baseball and racing cards in my own collection. Then have found a number of comic, baseball, basketball, and various other cards in a unit. I have no clue what is good and what is not. So thought about getting a listing together and checking online.
Big question is can you export your "organize" list from beckett with prices? Do you think it's worth the $31 a month for total access? Can you do any uploads?

I would think that would be a huge money sink. Check ebay. The last time I got cards, I showed them to someone who collects and he told me that Ebay sets the prices now, not beckett.

I haven't paid much attention to card prices lately (other than to notice they've plummeted since a decade ago) but I imagine the values are stable enough that you could buy a single Beckett magazine and it'd last a while. Or just check Ebay as the guy above me mentioned.

Only issue with the magazines are they are limited in space. So they mostly have the more current sets and sub-sets. I currently have cards for just about everything.
Magic, Warcraft, All sports (baseball, basketball, hockey, football, soccer), comic, various non-comic, etc.
I do ebay price a few "key" names or anything someone put in a hardcase or such. Mostly everything just keeps getting put in card boxes and added to all the others in my trunk. I figured it would be just as easy to load the cards in excel or access and then cross-ref with a price guide later.
Gives me yet another thing I can tinker with once I get tired of my current project.
