Questions for Readers of Beckett's Print Magazines

KingInTheWest · 11-08-2020, 09:15 AM

I have an OPG subscription but haven't read their print monthly magazines since the 90's. Wondering how frequently they have features on collectors such as super-collectors. Also would like to know if they have articles that discuss card design with interviews of actual designers working for the major card companies. Not looking for information about the NBA nor about pricing/ card values since I can get that elsewhere. Thanks!

They usually have 15-20 pages of fluff before the top-20 and price guide. They stopped super collectors, box breaks, readers write, and any other feature that once made the magazine somewhat fun and informative. Now it’s just a basic cover story with one page photos and some must have cards of said player. Not much to see there honestly.
