This time last year, and the month or two leading up to it, we were eagerly anticipating 2020 Base Series 2.  We watched all of the other apps get their Series 2, and we were wondering when Marvel would get theirs.  We talked about it for a few episodes in a row, until it finally arrived.  Fast forward to this summer, and we never even thought or cared about a 2021 Base Series 2.  It just kind of, showed up.  Not an ounce of anticipation.  The community wasn't asking for it, but it did happen.  Right in the middle of everyone working on their Rust, Steel, and Gold Fusions, Topps doubled the number of those cards, which will continue to rip Common cards to shreds.  It really goes to show that without a system like Monuments, base doesn't really matter in this app except to true hoarders and character collectors.

Besides that, we got the timeline feature, which is a fun and creative idea for sharing your needs or accomplishments with a smaller group of followers.  Except Topps then shot themselves in the foot by making posts only appear if you and the other trader both follow one another.  Imagine if Twitter required this for you to see someone's content.  So close.  We'll see if they adjust this in the future.

While we did get some nice content for Shang-Chi, King in Black Volume 2, and a new Deadpool set, the same flow of content happens week by week, and we're hoping to see something really shake up the app sometime soon.  The What If...? content is a nice change of pace, but it's such a small amount of content for each episode, it barely gets noticed.

All of this and much more in this week's/month's episode of the Skuttlebutt Podcast!
