(NEW BECKETT MAGAZINE TURNS OFF SOME COLLECTORS)

The new Monthly Beckett Magazine debuted this week to less than stellar reviews. Some consumers liked it with comments of "well at least I don't have to purchase four magazines."

(New Beckett Sports Card Monthly makes it's debut.)

Others still were not as enthusiastic.

"This will not fly," blasts Neil Osina, a long time Los Angeles area shop owner. "Beckett needed to at least start at the turn of the century, 2000."

This in reference to only new releases being listed. Some collectors liked the idea of more information such as autographs. The new magazine will come out monthly on a 12 month basis. The regular Beckett Monthly Magazines which were sport specific will now publish every other month basically replacing the Beckett Plus brand and they will remain sport specific but much thicker.

The problem is for most collectors now you can't tell the Tuff Stuff from the Beckett they look so much alike.

Beckett has been faithfull up til the change. I liked the Beckett PLUS cause it had listings for most of the cards released. I'll buy an issue of the new beckett and of Tuff Stuff and compare. The prices aren't that much diff from the 2 mags anyway.

I haven't gotten my Baseball for April. Will this be replacing my monthly Baseball or will I get the baseball every other month? I would rather just cancel....anybody know if this is an option?
