I'm not so sure we need a price guide for MU, but if one was made I'd probably buy it because I do like "official" lists. It would be interesting to see how, and what, they'd value certain figures at.

I never heard of the mag, I'm in Canada, so for us with cards the market is like 95% hockey with 5% for basketball and baseball, atleast that's what it's like at any card shop near me. Plus for us with retail outlets such as Mcdonalds at certain times of the year they would release cards that come out, a base set, variant color set and then the odd autograph or something rare that was like 1 in 10,000. For us Canadians we get hockey cards, while most americans would get basketball,football or baseball. They had 1-2 sets of baseball back in 91-92 when Toronto won, but other then that strickly hockey. The 1 thing I liked about Beckett was that it gave price listings for old and new stuff, had editor pages where they showcased up and coming products and gave reviews on current products, they'd buy a box of cards open it and tell you what they got and what they thought overall which was awesome. Now a days we have a thing called youtube which any douche can go on and record himself/herself praising this or that figure and it's hard to know what to go buy. I also liked how it gave the low and high value, so that if you're at a garagesale and spot a gretzky rookie card for $100 you know it's a good deal when the low value is $500, and some collectors would try and sell ya on the high price, but some would meet ya in the middle or say fuck it here ya go. There's a guy on here that wrote a book on ML, there should be something done for MU but have a trading value assaigned, market value is 1 thing but honestly ebay changes day to day and you can always strike a cheap item from time to time./rant
