Sports-collectibles publisher Beckett has entered into an agreement with NHL Interactive CyberEnterprises. Under the agreement, Beckett will provide content for NHL.com, the National Hockey League's Web site. In return, Beckett will receive a non-exclusive license to market and distribute products and services using certain NHL marks. The two companies have created a co-branded online store at http://beckett.nhl.com where hockey trading cards are sold in a fixed-price format. Third-party hockey card grading, an online hockey card price guide and Beckett publications will also be offered.
Beckett will provide the NHL.com Web site with a content section on hockey collectibles news, including features such as product reviews, top 10 hot trading cards and the Hockey Card of the Week. This content section can be found at www.nhl.com by clicking on "Collectibles" in the left hand navigation bar.
