FAQs

  • You get full access to the CSN Archive, a big discount on any orders from our store and a nice box of goodies, exclusive to the club. At the highest level, you’ll be credited in the weekly print newspaper. Each year you can choose to keep your membership and you’ll maintain the benefits and get another box of exclusive goodies. As a “CSN Archive Original Founder”you’ll be locking in this membership price. As prices rise, you’ll always pay the Founder rate. You’ve had our back and we have yours—welcome to the club.

  • No. Auto-renewals drive us crazy. You can choose to renew your membership for each year (or not). If you do renew, you maintain all your benefits plus you get a new and different box of goodies each year. If you subscribe in the founding year of 2025, you’ll be locking in this price for as long as you choose to renew your membership.

  • There are too few good surprises in life, and this is one of them. We’ll curate a special selection of merchandise that you can only get as a patron of the CSN Archive. Will these be highly collectible in the future? We’re a hobby full of collectors, so we’d say the likelihood is pretty high.

  • The CSN Archive does not auto-renew each year, so your membership will automatically expire every year. If you really want a refund, you can email us at aloha@csnpress.com and we can figure something out unique to your situation. Every penny will be put towards building and maintaining the CSN Archive.
