how reliable are beckett lists?
How reliable is beckett if you´re trying to get a certain player checklist?
I noticed they include early 90´s autralian cards and panini stickers. Is there a better place to get a complete checklist or is beckett the best we have?

Beckett is the best we have. They do contain most sets, along with many oddballs, but they also miss out on some sets as well. I have gotten Antoine Walker cards before which weren't in their database at all.

Pretty close but not perfect unfortunately.
Beckett includes crap like price guides if that player was on the cover, bobble heads, giveaways, team sheets etc....
And like JJ23 said there are quite a few cards missing as well.
You'll really have to go through and edit it manually to come up with a definite number.

OK, thanks. I thought there was another way because i see in some signatures people saying "player x 345/987" and i was wondering how they know exactly that player has 987 cards. I guess they don´t.

beckett lists are pretty close to spot on... that player x 345/987 is for all intents and purposes exactly what that player has

It might depend on the player but...
For the player I collect Beckett is far from spot on.

Beckett also sometimes lists cards that do not exist. In recent years Topps and Upper Deck originally planned to release many cards that were scrapped before final production, but updated checklists were not released either to collectors or to Beckett. Beckett still thinks Mike Dunleavy had 6 different cards in 07-08 UD Black, but none of them were ever actually made, and that's not the only example even for just him.
