A Group Beckett Total Access

[playmaker88]

I didn't really know what anyone thought of doing this, and I understand that many don't trade BV for BV, but has anyone ever thought of doing a group total access membership at Beckett? It is a crazy price of $279, but if you were to get enough people on board and have one user name, one password, etc......

I don't know - was just thinking of a way to make something work for everyone, including myself!

I'd be interested but have a couple questions.

What's the time frame for the $279 ? Every year ? 6 months ? 1 month ?

Are you talking about having access to all the opg's ?

And, is having multiple users allowed by Beckett ?

I would be interested. Best regards, David

If there would be a group that would do just a baseball opg I would be in for that.

One of my concerns would be that if you have 10 people all with the same username and password one user could post messages that do not reflect the entire group.


Thanks,

I've thought the same thing, but about those address books for autographing. I wanted to send a few requests, but spending $20-30 on an entire book seemed over the top for me. I eventually bough Smalling's book several years back and didn't send one single request. I am reminded of this as I just got a postcard announcing his newest book in Sept. I thought about buying it this time and actually sending in some requests.

Although Smalling and the others can't control what you do with the book after you buy it, Beckett can probably control access to it's site by multiple users. Of course sharing reduces their ability to sell other subscriptions and make more money, so I would assume it is forbidden.

The $279 per year at Beckett will grant total access to EVERY online price guide they offer for a full year. That would be baseball, basketball, football, hockey, MMA, Golf, Racing cards & die-cast, wrestling, soccer, tennis, non-sports, figurines, Magic The Gathering and graded cards.

I'll check into it and see exactly what would or would not be allowed. There would theoretically be only one account, therefore the key questions would be:

1. If we had more than one person logged in at once, would it bump either user off?

2. Are we allowed to access one account by multiple users?

Of course, there would need to be some parameters in place about user postings and things of that sort, but if there are enough interested folks, I would be happy to check into it, or maybe one of the more seasoned members would like to? Either way, if that $279 for the year could be split amongst say, 10 people, that would definitely be worth it.

I'm going to "guess" that a super subcrription is only good for ONE user. Otherwise we could get an account and have 5,000 users. Ain't gonna happen and you're not the first one to think about it.

I guarantee Beckett has thought about it too.

there is legitimate wiggle room here on this subject. And what I mean by that is Becketts wouldn’t allow this “group” have total access with one subscription. But just how many of us have one or multiple opg subscriptions there? I know I have a baseball subscription and I am just as sure several others have football, basketball ect or even total access to their opg’es. So why can’t we do a members only thread that we do very much like the address request thread? When I have the time I would be glad to research a card for a member. I think others would be glad to help too. Anyways it’s an idea and it would still need fleshing out.

My brother has tried to log into my account when I was using it and it didn't work so you might as well forget about it. Don't you think that Beckett thought about the same thing so people couldn't rip them off? It probably has something to do with IP addresses.

You also would have access to message boards & trading if it was possible so I think it would get real complicated when it came to issues like that.
