    The Shallow End ep 100 - Feeling Secure in Your Collecting

The Shallow End is hosted by Dave Schwartz @Iowa_Dave_Sportscards *** Support fellow collector Luke (@LukeJBrowning) as he takes part in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure to raise money for breast cancer research and support.

    The Shallow End ep 99 - 2025 National Recap

    You might be asking yourself, didn't The National end two months ago? Yes. Yes it did. But one card I picked up there extended how I thought about The National. Depending what PSA thought of this card, my overall National experience could have tipped one way or the other. The Shallow End is hosted by Dave Schwartz @Iowa_Dave_Sportscards

    Failing Up #18 of 18: The Voices We Let In

    In this 18th and final episode of Failing Up, we welcome Dave, known on IG as @paperstreetsportscards. When Dave came back to the hobby, he did a little exploring and discovered cards he found interesting. But when he approached the so-called experts about his interests, they told him his point of view was wrong. They preached a "better" way of doing things. Spoiler alert: the experts were wrong.

In this episode you’ll hear Matt describe, in detail, something many of us went through when first getting into — or getting back into — the hobby. This is a lesson about what happens when you’re still finding yourself, and the mistakes that come with that. The Shallow End is hosted by Dave Schwartz @Iowa_Dave_Sportscards

    Failing Up #16 of 18: It's not Failure, It's an Opportunity

    Today’s guest is Marty, otherwise known as @signed1933goudey. He’s all about starts and stops, pushing and waiting, patience and passion. This series about sports cards might be called Failing Up, but to Marty, a little bit of struggle isn’t failing. It’s learning. It’s understanding. And it’s getting just a little bit better, one day at a time. The Shallow End is hosted by Dave Schwartz @Iowa_Dave_Sportscards
