Wow, that's pretty huge news!  Does anyone know if they were looking to sell or if Beckett came to them sort of out of the blue?

Wow Joe, Thank you for posting the link, I certainly hope that Roxanne/Marlin will continue to do the Non-Sport card shows that are held in Allentown, PA. every spring and fall.

I'm sure you are right Joe, I just can't imagine a non-sport show being the same without the Toser
family.

On Facebook Harris said that the show is still his and he is going to do 2 shows a year.  See you in May!

I'm sure that the new magazine will mean a larger publication, which is great, but I hope they still leave a few pages for the small releases that the Update was always good at promoting.

I always enjoyed that it was all non-sports, and like you said, small releases were mentioned.  I truly hope Beckett doesn't ruin the only magazine I still buy at the comic store.

I'm with you Pat, I think Beckett will do a good job with taking over NSU, But IMO it will always be the Toser's baby.
