Heroes For HireCan the CardTalk membership help bring NSU back to print?
Now that is been a couple of months since Collectors (PSA’s parent company) has acquired Beckett, does anyone think that the membership of CardTalk can inspire a NSU magazine comeback?
Of course, making some type of petition here probably wouldn’t work because not enough people sign-in and only view as “guests” the various threads.
But I did see that the new Beckett GM, Collin Hudson, is on X (formerly Twitter) with the username: beckettgmcolin
Maybe sending Colin some “tweets” or emails highlighting some of the value points NSU magazine can bring to the Beckett brand, too.
Probably could even message the Collectors CEO, Nat Turner, about the virtues of having a non-sport focused magazine in the portfolio.
It’s also a longshot to post that positive stuff here, but who left working for Beckett still visits here?

hammerI think there are a few on here, those that have been robbed by Beckett on lost subscriptions, who would be reluctant to give Beckett anymore money. If Beckett sorted out those issues I'd love the Magazine (with Editor/Writers retained) to come back.

barobehereI think the way Beckett treated the staff and how they handled subscriptions (I had actually dropped my subscription a few years ago because of their incompetence) that I would be unlikely to ask Beckett to bring It back. If I heard that another publisher was willing to do so I would be all in.

jcracchGiven the timing of the announcement on NSU in relation to the sale of Beckett, we should assume that the new owners didn’t want NSU as part of the deal.
Always easier to make the selling company dump and take the loss on underperforming items than have the new owners do it right out of the gate and create unnecessary ill will towards them.
If you’re hoping for NSU to come back, you should hope that someone can buy the name back and start fresh.
