Dr. James Beckett founded the company as Beckett Publications in 1984. In the mid-1970s, while a professor at Bowling Green State University, he published his first baseball card price guides as "free-upon-request" pamphlets to, in his words, "bring order out of the chaos that existed" in the baseball card industry. These pamphlets led to annually published price guides and were the forerunners of Beckett's monthly collectibles magazines.

The first Beckett Baseball Card Monthly was published in November 1984 with a 10,000-copy print run. It quickly became the reference source for card collectors. Today, Beckett Baseball Card Monthly has an audited paid circulation of more than 725,000 for total paid circulation by issue.

In just a few years, JimBeckett turned his passion for sports card collecting into a successful publishing business. Beckett Publications employs more than 160 people producing monthly sports card collecting magazines for baseball, football, basketball, hockey, motorsports, sports collectibles, as well as monthly youth oriented entertainment and collectible magazines covering sports, anime, Pokemon, YuGiOh and Neopets. . From its 74,000-square foot headquarters building in Dallas, Texas, the company also produces a line of successful price guides books.
