The Shallow End

What We Miss, What We Love, and Oprah - The Shallow Ending

After 126 flagship episodes and 200 overall, this is the final episode of The Shallow End. We begin with an honest and insightful conversation with Alan (@ricebondsmntna2young [https://www.instagram.com/ricebondsmntna2young]), a Barry Bonds collector and one-third of the long-running Essential Credentials Podcast [https://www.youtube.com/@TheEssentialCredentials] on YouTube (along with Greg @timsalmoncollector [https://www.instagram.com/timsalmoncollector] and Matt @essential_credentials_podcast [https://www.instagram.com/essential_credentials_podcast]). Then, we hear from 35 collectors who were each tasked with answering the same question: "What do you love about sports cards? And you can't say "the community."
