Default I agree with you Rich. However, I wish Beckett would have taken your advice...

And I wil bring up my constant aggravation with PSA here as well. I actually paid for a sub to SMR -- and never recieved any renewal notices; to me that was throwing away money on their part.

Trust me, I understand from my years in publishing that for both SGC and PSA the publishing is very secondary to their primary business of grading cards; but one should remember some people just like to read about cards as well.

A couple of years ago, I sent in a check for like $40 to subscribe to Beckett Elite, and more than 3 or 4 months went by with nothing. Granted, I knew this was a quarterly Magazine, but after still another couple of months goes by and finally that piece of crap they call Beckett Baseball Card Monthly shows up in my mailbox!

After a few attempts, I finally get through to someone in Customer Service and was informed that they no longer print Beckett Elite so they sent me the POS Beckett instead. I again told the women that I don't want the POS BB monthly and why didn't they just send my check back with a letter of explanation? Not their policy. I guess their policy is to tell ME what I should buy and to shut my pie-hole and say THANK YOU SIR, MAY I HAVE ANOTHER!

"Alright well, just a little tale" (a classic De Niro scene/line for anyone that might be a fan of the movie "This Boy's Life").

Best, Jimmy

BTW... I did find a use for the Beckett as I would rip out a page, roll it into a ball, and let my dog chase it and shred it. So there you go, Beckett has some value after all.
