The Shallow End

Welcome to "27 Decisions," a limited-run series all November presented by The Shallow End. Today's guest is Brandon aka @sportscardstruggles. Brandon was on a break at work when the card of his dreams hit eBay … and was promptly gone before he even had a chance to act. Eventually he got it, and the "load-bearing wall" of his collection was finally in place.

Josh's pivot was about as extreme as a pivot can get: from ultramodern basketball to vintage baseball. What most stands out in this conversation is how swiftly he made the move and the strength of his conviction.
