February 20 The Shallow End ep 114 - Change
Topps/Fanatics recently angered and saddened its customers by stripping Stadium Club down to the studs. No more Chrome. No more short prints. No more gold minted. For more than a century, the one constant in the hobby has been change. It hurts, but in the long term, it might have been the best thing ever to happen to gold minted. But the worst part? Fanatics shows once again it wants its customers to listen to them instead of listening to its customers.

January 23 The Shallow End ep 111 - Temporal Landmarks and the Fresh Start Effect (corrected version)
(Corrected version after unedited draft was uploaded)
For years I denied that the changing of the calendar year mattered. But I was wrong. The transition from one year to another isn't just an opportunity to re-evaluate parts of our collections, it's a psychological moment to become better collectors.
