Nope.Not for me.I have too many cards that are not on beckett's recognized list so I don't really keep track that way.I figure I am at least close to 35%-40% of the way through but there is just way too much that I either know of or actually have that's not on the beckett list.I don't feel comfortable giving an actual percentage most of the time.
I'll agree with this. Im very close to redoing all my figures and removing samples/convention cards. WHY? because I dont trust the Beckett checklist. Ive collected 15-20 of said cards they dont even list, yet Ive never seen any they do.
If they show up, I'll buy them but I think Im going to rework my lists this week.
The other bad thing is like APRIMO mentioned...where the cards they do have listed sometimes add up to more than just that one card.Topps teks, moments and milestones etc.Hell...I probably have over 100 different Star cards alone beckett doesn't even touch.Plus the other oddballs.Its weird what beckett chooses and doesn't choose to recognize.Like its totally random or something.They don't even list the Diamond skills from fleer tradition.The gold hologram set from MJB holographics or the different versions of the autographs.Fleer patchworks had a patch I remember asking about before that they don't recognize.I have several sample cards they don't recognize.And several oddballs and documented variations.
Yeah, I forgot about the Topps Teks. So I guess that brings the total Biggios up to about 4120. I need to update my "have" spreadsheet. I've been keeping the "want" one up pretty well, but I've bought a bunch of cards lately and need to move them over. I also need to add a few I've received recently that aren't on Beckett's list.
I know what you mean about the Fleer Patchworks cards. I believe it is the 2003 set that had the problem where a bunch of patches were left out of the hobby boxes, so Fleer sent out a bunch of patches in single-card packs to the dealers, who were supposed to distribute them to their customers that had purchased boxes. I knew a dealer that still had several of those a couple of years ago and would sell them separately, and I bought a few of them. There were a couple of Biggio patches in that set that I acquired that were not on Beckett's list, so I contacted Beckett and got them added to the list.
