As of the April 2008 issue, released the first week of March ‘08, Beckett has re-formatted to a multi-sport monthly magazine simply called “Beckett Sports Card Monthly” (BSCM). Beckett will still have magazines dedicated to each of the four major sports, but they will only be available on a bi-monthy basis. As of this posting, many bloggers have mixed opinions as to the “all-inclusive” pricing of the new magazine, as it only covers the “hottest” and newest cards. For those collectors who want to price their collections that are a year old or more, this magazine is not for them. Many collectors are also angry about the increased newsstand price of $7.99 US. For the increased price, many have seen a significant decrease in pricing content. The bi-monthly magazine has a newsstand price of $9.99, but lacks the “up-to-date” pricing that was popular with the monthly issue. The new format, for many, resembles that of the multi-sport “Tuff Stuff” magazine, but for a higher price tag. If your collection is older than 2007, you may want to look into the online version of the priceguide ($5.99 per month), or seek help from your local card dealer who will most likely have an annual price guide or copies of the sport-specific bi-monthlies for you to look at. Hope this info helps, and thanks for your interest.
