Beckett Media has been the voice of the collectibles industry from the time Dr. James Beckett published his first Sport Americana Baseball Card Price Guide book in 1979 to the launch of the first issue of Beckett Baseball magazine five years later. In the time since that rather simplistic first issue of Beckett Baseball, the magazine – and the company itself – has grown in significant proportions, similar to the very field it covers. Under the guidance of Dr. Beckett, the company mastered the print medium, expanded price guide titles to other sports and other genres, introduced web commerce as a viable means of trade and instituted grading as an important segment of the company portfolio. Beckett Media now stands poised to continue the foundation first laid down by Dr. Beckett – one of integrity, commitment and accuracy. In doing so, Beckett Media will proudly move the Beckett brand forward through an exciting future, all the while continuing to serve its current customers and attracting a new generation of collectors. Most importantly, Beckett Media will maintain the trust and excellence the company was built upon. Beckett’s company statement is more than just words on a sign hanging in the office hallway. It’s a statement of our goal, and what our mission is each and every day: “With over 30 years of serving as the most trusted resource for collectors, Beckett Media will continue to facilitate trade and lead the collectibles industry with dynamic products and services.” Beckett Media’s commitment hasn’t wavered, and now there is even more Beckett Media emphasis on staying ahead of the curve, remaining versatile and maintaining flexibility to continue adding and expanding in a market in flux. The company continues to offer innovative products and first-class service to customers. It’s what the Beckett name was built on. To demonstrate the ability to lead the market while engaging customers in fresh new ways, Beckett Media has successfully launched new initiatives in new verticals: Beckett Business Solutions provides a B2B platform for small- and medium-sized hobby businesses, helping them upload their entire shop inventory to Beckett Marketplace and eBay in just a click of a few buttons.
