For those of you who just can’t get enough sports card chatter in your lives beyond Beckett.com, our message boards, Box Busters episodes and Twitter, we’re adding something else to the mix.
Beckett Media will be launching weekly chats via Facebook with the first being Chatter Up, a Wednesday Q&A segment with Beckett Baseball Editor Chris Olds that appears on the Beckett Media LLC Facebook page.
For now, it will be a simple real-time chat. But, who knows, perhaps it will evolve into something more as we go along. Either way, it’s one more chance for collectors to chat about the hobby and collecting as well as win some cool stuff each and every week.
Chatter Up — Wednesday nights at 8:30 Central on the Beckett Media LLC Facebook page.
Want to win a four-hobby pack lot of Panini Marquee basketball cards? Check out the thread for this week here and tell us what you think in the comments below. We’ll pick one winner at random on May 29.

In The Game, Inc., and Sport Kings LP are merging as one company.
The companies owned by Dr. Brian Price were kept separate, but they will now be one, Price announced today.
“By making this acquisition, I will be able to continue the production of the Sport Kings brand as the consolidation of the brand into the ITG family makes it easier to move forward with future releases,” Price said on his blog. “In the past websites, marketing and sales were kept separately causing confusion in the marketplace, this acquisition removes that confusion.”
Price will move forward with the Sportking series releasing Series F this summer before the National Sports Collectors Convention in Chicago.

Now, all we need is a little patience.
When Topps announced in February that Axl Rose‘s first certified autograph was coming in 2013 Topps Archives — a retro-styled look at baseball cards with a bit of pop culture also infused — more than a few collectors and rock fans took notice.
The arrival of the next installment of the reigning Beckett Baseball Product of the Year is just 13 days away with Rose’s signatures sure to have a few people saying “you could be mine.”
Beckett Media got the first look at the unsigned version of the card on Thursday — a release that will have a standard autograph version as well as a version of the card printed on metal. It’s not going to be so easy to pull that one as just 25 copies of that version will be made.
