The Beckett Blog

For almost 22 years, Beckett Media’s Pepper Hastings has been a constant asset to this great hobby of ours. But beginning next week, he’s moving on to a new opportunity outside the collectibles industry.

Before he could get out of here, he sat down for a quick “exit” interview.

The third employee in the history of Beckett, Hastings has admirably and professionally served seemingly every role in the last two decades, from editing to pricing to grading to subscriptions to direct sales and everything in between.

A hobbyist himself who specializes in collecting the nuances of the folks inside and outside Beckett HQ, Hastings is an avid select-level youth baseball coach, a tireless JFK Conspiracy buff and a collecting icon.

In an industry that loves nothing more than an authentic, truly one-of-a-kind masterpiece, Pepper’s been on the Hot List since Day One.
