are PROMOs dead?

[cmixer]

Back 3-5 years ago, Beckett used to have samples of upcoming card sets in their magazines, called PROMO cards ... did sports card manufacturer's stop this practice all-together? I thought it was nice seeing a base card before I bought a box ... I guess with the internet, a scan is just as good, so promos are dead?

he had a free box full but might have passed them out to those involved in box breaks

Perhaps the promos in magazines have slowed because of stupid people ripping the plastic and stealing the promo card inside.
