jay4202472000 Pillar of the Community United States 853 Posts	Posted 12/31/2013 7:37 pm I normally buy a "Coins" magazine at Wal-mart each month. I had to go to a different one than normal today, and while looking for "Coins" my wandering eyes found a "Beckett Coin Collector" magazine. This was an awesome discovery for me. I was an avid football & baseball card collector growing up and Beckett was, and is, THE name in trading card guides. I haven't read the entire mag yet, but it seems to be pretty cool. There is a really nice article on Lincoln's, showcasing the key dates and major varieties. The article has numerous quotes from Charles Daughtry & Roger Willingham. There are a few noticeable errors though. They have a Philly minted 1914 pictured for the 1914-D, and they continuously refer to doubled dies as double dies. Nevertheless, I am a huge fan of Beckett's work and will buy more. Also, as far as I can tell, this is the first edition. First edition coupled with all those errors...might be worth a couple hundred bucks in a few years. LOL! Report this Post to the Staff

The mag said Becket Marketplace for coins was launched in November, and, as far as I can tell, this is the first issue of the magazine. The database for cards, on Beckett.com, was awesome. If you took the time to do the data entry, you had up to date pricing with just a couple of clicks. It kept up with the value of your entire collection. Report this Post to the Staff
