How you get a story featured in the Beckett?

[J_Hamilton_32]

anyone know how to get a story featured in the beckett?

I know a lot of people got tired of me talking a certain topic so I won't mention it, I'll just call it "the card" from now on.

But heres the story I wrote

Are you asking how to work for Beckett Media?

First of all, I'd have someone help you edit your work and help you whittle it down to the finer points. Secondly, Beckett Media has many contacts, but heck, send it directly to an editor. Sometimes it works.

When I was trying to get Beckett to write an article about the 1990 Topps Blackless cards, Chris Olds completely ignored me. Someone else contacted them and he gave them a full page article...it's hit or miss.

I'm sure I'm the jerk here but how is wanting a card a story? I want a Ferrari - should I email Car + Driver about doing a feature on me?

I agree with this.

Also, I'm not sure how you can be Hamilton's biggest fan when you really realized how good he is at the same time a million other people (including Chris Berman) did.

no cause it also gives well in depth background on the card, also pretty sure people have one and they don't even realize it.

If you wanted a certain Ferrari, one that they only made... say... 25 of. And you have the money to buy the Ferrari you want, but just can't find one for sale....... then the situation would be similar.

And who knows, maybe somebody owns one of the Ferrari's and thinks it's an Opel. Which seems about as likely as this:

also pretty sure people have one and they don't even realize it.

If that did happen to somebody, they threw it in a box. Forever.
