A Good magizine, but buy it on the newsstands

Tuff Stuff, a magizine that has price guides on sports cards and collectibles, along with little advertisements for card shops across the country and handy items to help preserve your valuable cards.

It's very useful for someone trying to find the value of their cards and figures, but it's a waste of money for a subscription because one or two things might be updated in each monthly issue. I think they should make it every couple of months if they want more subscriptions.

My suggestion to you is that you buy a copy on the newsstands every couple of months, and if you absolutely have to get the monthly subscription, that's for you to decide. ... Read more

A Great Magazine For The Music Enthusiast
Goldmine is a music magazine that caters to record collectors. The cover stories and articles deal with all types of music (rock, r & b, pop, country, jazz, reggae, punk, alternative, etc.) with the greatest emphasis on artists who were popular in the '60s and '70s. Recent cover stories include interviews with surviving members of the Grateful Dead, the Rolling Stones, AC/DC, the Four Seasons, and the Dave Clark 5's lead singer Mike Smith. There are also annual issues devoted to Elvis Presley and the Beatles.

Each issue of Goldmine contains reviews on recent cd releases (new product and reissues/collections). There are also country and jazz sections that contain interviews with vintage artists (recent country interviews include Bobby Bare, Guy Clark, and Merle Haggard) and cd reviews. The country section also provides helpful info like upcoming tv appearance and cd release dates, while the jazz section offers esoteric essays from jazz historian Carlo Wolff. Dahl's Digs is one of my favorite columns, where celebrated author Bill Dahl (Motown: The Golden Years) "digs" up some rare musical treasures from the past that have been recently reissued (or should be).

Since Goldmine is a magazine for record collectors, there are a number of ads by vendors who carry rare/promo vinyl and cds, as well as a classified section where you can state what you're looking for (I have bought some rare radio promo collections this way). If you like a lot of genres of music, especially music recorded during the '50s through the '80s, then I think you will enjoy Goldmine.

Highly Enjoyable

Great Magazine
Keep in mind that this is info for the serious collector. I found the articles to be thorough and accurate. This magazine is targeted at the collector of museum quality antiques. They include a great deal of information on construction, how to identify styles, as well as individual makers. Many of the topics covered here are rare and expensive, but the info provided gives one great insight on how to evaluate what's readily available. ... Read more

On it's last leg :(
Once the bible for film collectors when it was issued by Don Key, now it's a thinning publication with what seems like less film available in every issue :(
Ebay and other websites seem to have taken away many long time advertisers. I've let my subscription run out (like many others) and I have no plans to renew my subscription.
If your looking for great film titles, the guys who pay extra for next day delivery snag everything weeks before you even get to open the front cover. Rest in Peace Big Reel ... Read more

Best
This is the best Yu-Gi-Oh collector guide. There are some advantages to the Ghostmasters competing magazine (e.g., strategy and tests), but Beckett's is still the top choice. Comparing the prices to auction prices (i.e., the market), the magazine is a bit high in the more rare cards. However, it is great for a gauge. It also has a range of low-to-high, but sometimes having an actual value is better. Still, it gives you an idea of what you might find after some searching and dealing (which is also what the magazine maintains). The pictures are well done and advertising is not annoying. Overall, a professional magazine. ... Read more
