The vintage magazines (both iterations) were among the very best publications we ever did at Beckett.

When Wayne Grove was riding the herd on the 2nd iteration from a hobbyist viewpoint we had an great group of columnists and contributors. Plus we had someone who truly loved the old cards and sports as much as 99 percent of the people on this board.

Lew Lipset, Pete Calderon and others as columnists (I forgot who else) come to mind. The biggest disappointment we had, other than the magazine not succeeding on a financial viewpoint, was many great stories went to other publications that did not pay nearly as much as we did. Among people who knew, I don't think they truly appreciated that Beckett could get their stories to a much wider audience.

Regards
Rich
