Nothing at Jim's Dugout is merely for sale.
A hold is a promise. A reference card is a tool. A handwritten sign can remove a piece of cardboard from the market for good.
Cole understands those distinctions. Jim trusts him with the records, the software, and eventually a key, but not with the counter.
Across nine linked stories, the two men confront swapped identities, manufactured provenance, an auction built to survive the truth, and a system that turns the locked shop into an open market.
Then Jim loses the reasons behind his own rules. His judgment remains flawless. His restraint does not.
Jim Dugout hosts The Counter, where the story everyone believes is checked against the record.
