I collected in the early 90s pretty hard. Personally I think it was a scam with Beckett. What prices it set was the standard.
A card set would be "rare", then all of a sudden flooded in the market.
Whose to say the companies didn't reprint after testing the market ?
Was there ever any oversight ?



Not at all. Beckett had as close to a monopoly as you can get imo. Everybody grabbed that mag and used it when dealing. Everybody.

I was guilty on grabbing that Beckett too.
Kinda seems they could make or break a company.
I think they got greased quite a few times
