Honestly I never noticed that there was a value attached to the collection. When Beckett values 98 Topps Tek Defractors at .40 – 1.00 and you’d be willing to pay 10 times that along with part of your collection being valued at “NA”, why acknowledge the collection value. Beckett is a great tool to use along with others sources to determine a card value but never a collection value. I have over 100 cards valued at “NA” that adds a total of zero to my valued collection according to Beckett. I just paid 200 for a Juan signed Ted Williams 151 card that will add what to my collection dollar? As every Juan collected has seen, your return on investment will be in the red and I certainly don’t care to see how red that has become the past several years. But adding a multiple card dollar won’t hurt I guess or even assigning a generic low – high value to cards that Beckett hasn’t valued. Any info that collectors can use to motivate them to collect is a value. Just know that your collection cost you much more and is probably valued at much less.
Just an opinion,
Jonas
