   I was wondering why I always get my Beckett Sports Monthly subscription 2-3 weeks after my "local" hobby store.  In the last 3 years I have received my magazine on time ONCE, literally. No joke.  (used to have Beckett Baseball subscription, but...)   I can literally count on it being 2-3 weeks late every month. Still haven't received the latest issue, but this Tuesday it will be 2 weeks old.  I have talked to someone on the phone about it 3-4 times, and that hasn't helped.

   Reading my "new" Beckett 1-1 1/2 weeks before the latest issue hits the stands is getting old.  More like ancient.  Needless to say, I will not be renewing my subscription unless this stops. Anyone else have this problem???

Why do you not buy an OPG? Seems like that would make more sense unless you simply like reading the articles and in that case if Beckett hasn't helped you out then sorry but I am not sure who can.

  Looking at a list is alot easier than typing in every card you want to look up.  At least in my case because I only list what I have for trade on here along with my want lists.  I don't list the stuff I save.  I may put my "keeps" on here someday, but I'll wait until they get the up arrows going on the website, like the magazines have.  Plus my subscription is up in January I think, and I had that way before this new site was even a thought.

This is my first post so I hope I do it right.

I am a new Hockey Collector subscriber. The first issue I got (Crosby/Zetterberg cover) took a month to get here.My second issue is late. I contacted customer service and they said it should arrive soon.

THE FREAKING GROCERY STORE ACCROSS THE STREET FROM ME HAS IT OUT ALREADY!!! A GROCERY STORE!

I hope it arrives this week and this isn't an ongoing thing.

Does anyone know if you get any kind of special access or anything for having a print subscription and participating online?  For example, I have an ESPN the magazine subscription that allows me online access the "The Mag" and also allows me special "insider" access to certain site features. 
Does Beckett do anything like this ?  TIA

The grocery store does not rely on the postal service(s). 

I have heard this issue a lot, but it has nothing to do with Beckett, it's the mail services being inefficient, as are most things that are government controlled.  Wish there was something that could be done on our end.

Ahhh yes. Finally got my Beckett Sports Card Monthly yesterday, the 21st!  I'm sorry, but that's just absurd.  I'm starting to think our mail people are reading our magazines and giving them to us whenever they are done with them.  But I paid extra for them to be bagged thinking this would stop them from being so ridiculously late, but nope. They have been bagged for over a year now, and when they arrive, the plastic wrapper looks like it was slid on dirty concrete down a hill  as it is almost always filthy and ripped.   That doesn't bug me, though.  The fact that it's guaranteed to be at the very least 2 weeks late is what bugs me.  I HIGHLY doubt I'll renew again.
