First of all, I don't own a store but I wish I did but I don't. I do it for fun first and to make a couple bucks for gas money and child support. I started collecting in 1992 when I bought my first beckett and I started buying 1993 Collector's Edge Football packs and 1993 Skybox Premium Football boxes every week for months till I used up all my credit cards. I should have invested in 1993 SP Football and 1993 SP Baseball but I didn't and was buying 1993 Collector's Edge Football & 1993 Wild Card Superchrome. Stupid Move! Today, the hobby has changed with $450/box with one pack only to $1,850/case with just 3 boxes in it and Mr. Beckett is pricing Game-Used and autographs cheaper and cheaper every year, haven't you noticed it? And I noticed Mr. Beckett is using auction sites for their pricing so if a $100 is selling for only $40-50, the real-time price guide changes the prices on the spot so Thanks! Mr. Beckett for dropping prices on all the good cards in the hobby! Case and point, if you want to know how much your card is worth? go to completed auctions and that's your answer, so why do we need price guides then??
