He gone

BBCgalaxee · Sep 21, 2015

I know there's some who don't like him for whatever reason and won't care.

I think it's been about two weeks since his last Beckett article.

I read Beckett boards and news daily and just noticed the absence of articles from him.

To me though, I view him as a total hobby "geek"( and I mean that positively) who is great for the hobby.

Maybe he is on vacation?

He is still active on Twitter.

His last tweet regarding something Beckett related was 9/11-and his Twitter bio has all mentions of Beckett removed which used to be there. You may be on to something...

Thanks,
Jeff

I'm not a fan of him, honestly. He spent too much time arguing with people on Twitter, rather than trying to be positive. I am sure he is a nice guy in real life and all, it's just the way he was perceived.

I don't envy anyone working for Beckett and trying to mange that though

Granted, but he brought it on himself half the time. Heck...Comcast does a better job at handling trolling on Twitter than he did.

Given the direction of Beckett's content in the last decade, Chris will probably be replaced with a Google News feed that just searches for "sports memorabilia".

I hear he works for Panini now. No clue if that's true.

I just think it's weird we never saw Chris Olds and Chris Gilmore in the same room at the same time...:-o

And we've never seen either of them in the same room as Kris Kross!

Chris Olds should have never made videos. He is one of the most unlikeable people that I have ever come across. He should have stuck to writing. The internet was not a good thing for that man.

Chris Olds is a great person who is great for this industry and hobby.

Yes, he argues too much but you should see some of the unjust flack he takes over it.

cgilmo · Sep 23, 2015

I can verify though that he is no longer working for Beckett. It looks as though it was his decision.

BBCgalaxee · Sep 23, 2015

Well three things are for sure:

Wrestling, A's and Swisher stuff will get zero to little attention now in the book.
