Episode 213; Fact Check Part 2 - Hobby Information with Keith Boyle

This week, we look at the positive efforts being made in The Hobby to ensure that card information is democratically open to all. Keith Boyle of Hobby Archival (and the I Want More Comics store in Thornton, CO) joins us to talk about his open source 'wiki' using the Fandom platform. We talk about Keith's efforts to scan over 30 thousand cards to date, how the site is designed and how everyone can help make it better. We also talk about information as a resource - one which can sometimes be held for personal gain, to the detriment of others. More knowledge, and power, to all is the message here. The database link is here; https://marvel-collectible-cards.fandom.com/wiki/Marvel_Collectible_Cards_Wiki - do please browse, use and most importantly contribute any information you can.
