Tim TroutAfter nearly 10 years at Beckett, Jeff Bauzon said adios to us all and moves 200 miles south to Austin tomorrow where he begins a career in law enforcment.
Obviously, a decade of crouching in front of a Mac and designing magazines has him well-trained to keep the peace and protect the citizens in the state capitol.
Many of the pages you have enjoyed in Beckett sports titles have been because of the crafty mouse and sharp eye of Bauzon.
After laboring all today in a work space cordoned off by crime scene tape, I asked Jeff to display a few of his favorite covers he designed. Click on the photo for a closer look.
There are real people here who care about the products we send out. Jeff is one who always went the extra mile.
Any of you have magazine design experience?

Here’s an insider heads up about something you’ll see for sale in the near future. And as is often the case around the Beckett office, I stumbled on it by accident.
I’m walking down the hallway a few minutes ago and I glance into this little room in which we shoot studio photos – Co-Worker Daniel calls it a digital studio. In the magazines, when you see those photos of boxes of cards, die-cast items, SLUs, and other inanimate objects . . . that would be Daniel’s handiwork. (We use a scanner for most card images.)
So anyway, there on a table sits an army of 
original Hartland Statues, the ones from the late 1950s and early 1960s. All of them have original bats and their feet are hardly scuffed — two attributes that discriminating collectors look for on Hartlands. Choice items, indeed.
I checked with Co-Worker Dave, who said he just got them on consignment locally from a personal collection (an estate sale). After the statues are photographed tomorrow, they’ll be auctioned online in by Beckett Select auctions.
I went ahead and snapped a couple of photos, thinking what a dork I looked like bending down and getting reeeeeeeeeeeeal close to Little Willie (above).
When I saw the photos came out OK, I went back to take a few more but the statues had already been wheeled away to the vault.
Dave says they will sell individually. Any guesses as to what the Mantle or Aaron will sell for?
