She left after seven months. Let him keep the house. Let him have the rings. Paid what she owed—with interest. Moved back to Ohio, rebuilt her life, married Spencer, had two children. Her family says Monique never spoke Michael McKee's name after the divorce. She only called him "her ex-husband." She talked about emotional abuse. About torment. That she was always worried. She did everything right.Eight years later, police say he drove 300 miles in the middle of the night and killed her anyway.Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer examines the psychology of someone who allegedly holds onto that kind of rage for nearly a decade. She breaks down what she calls "deep-seated resentment and hate that just built up"—the behavioral profile of a grievance collector who catalogs perceived slights, assigns permanent blame, and never moves on. Watching an ex-spouse build a new family doesn't bring closure for someone like this. It escalates obsessive attachment into violence.The divorce records reveal telling control dynamics. McKee wanted the rings back from a marriage that lasted less than a year. The separation agreement required Monique to reimburse him with interest. Coffindaffer explains what this suggests about ownership and entitlement—someone who demands jewelry back from a seven-month marriage isn't negotiating. They're keeping score.Police labeled this a "targeted domestic violence attack." But there were no prior reports. No restraining orders. No documented threats. Monique's family says the arrest was "not a shock"—they'd suspected McKee from day one but stayed quiet to protect the investigation. The family knew. For eight years. And the system couldn't act until someone was dead.Sometimes doing everything right still isn't enough.#TeepeMurders #MoniqueTepe #MichaelMcKee #JenniferCoffindaffer #TrueCrimeToday #FBI #GrievanceCollector #DomesticViolence #SpencerTepe #IntimatePartnerViolenceJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A vascular surgeon with no criminal record. A Chicago penthouse. A firearm that police say matches shell casings from a double homicide 300 miles away. And eight years of alleged obsession that ended with Monique Tepe and her husband Spencer dead while their children slept down the hall.Former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke—who headed the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program—identifies Dr. Michael McKee as a potential "wound collector." These are people who don't move on from perceived injuries. They catalog grievances, assign blame, and carry resentment for years until it explodes. Dreeke breaks down how wound collectors think, how high-functioning professionals mask dangerous resentment, what finally triggers them to act, and how they convince themselves they're the victim. Understanding this psychology might help someone recognize the signs before the next tragedy.Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer analyzes the forensic evidence. Surveillance footage captured McKee's vehicle arriving before the killings and leaving after. A hooded figure walked through an alley at 3:52 AM. A preliminary NIBIN ballistics match ties a firearm from McKee's penthouse to the crime scene. But the investigation raises questions: how did someone allegedly enter the Tepe home with no forced entry? And why would a surgeon—someone whose entire career is built on precision—allegedly keep the murder weapon in his own apartment for eleven days?Coffindaffer examines the behavioral red flags that emerged months before, including a malpractice process server who tried nine times to locate McKee at addresses that didn't exist. She explains what investigators are holding back, what the defense will exploit, and why waiving extradition might be calculated. McKee maintains his innocence and plans to plead not guilty to two counts of premeditated aggravated murder.#TeepeMurders #MichaelMcKee #WoundCollector #RobinDreeke #JenniferCoffindaffer #TrueCrimeToday #FBI #MoniqueTepe #SpencerTepe #NIBINJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this episode, I reconnect with Sharone Halevy nearly a year after our collector talk at Superfine (now The Superfair) in San Francisco. Sharone is an abstract expressionist painter who's built her entire practice around commission work and selling directly to collectors without gallery representation. We discuss her transition from theater directing to painting, why she works on sliding scales to make art accessible, and how she uses sound and storytelling to create "tangible memories," paintings that capture how moments felt rather than every detail. Sharone shares her approach to building confidence, why friends and family are your first important collectors, and how she leveraged social media to create direct audience connection. As lead curator and operations manager at The Superfair, Sharone coaches every exhibiting artist on booth curation, pricing strategy, and selling techniques. We discuss the fair's rebrand and refocus on attracting the right buyers rather than massive crowds, and why in-person events matter for artists, especially those in rural areas. We wrap up with Sharone's challenge for the year: find a hobby. Not another income stream or content for social media, something tactile and creative you do purely for joy. CALL FOR ART: CREATE!

Before you spin that next black circle, let SURFACE NOISE inform, entertain, and complain! For this latest rendition of the program, we go through some current events including updated release dates from Acoustic Sounds on some long awaited Bob Marley titles and a new Beach Boys boxset highly coveted by their fan base (and already sold out on their webstore). Add in a couple other new releases out this weekend, and consider the "inform" box checked! ✅ The panel then delves into a conversation about whether record collectors today are too critical - expectations in quality, value, and sound just scratch the surface (pun not intentional). Does a critique often become misconstrued as being critical? And should we always be critical in evaluating what we are bringing into our collections, and why we collect? So many questions!

Join us live as former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke breaks down the psychology behind the Tepe murders and explains what makes a "wound collector" tick.Dr. Michael McKee allegedly waited eight years after his divorce from Monique Tepe to act. Eight years of silence. No criminal record. No documented threats. Just a successful career as a vascular surgeon — and, according to investigators, a grievance he never let go.Robin Dreeke ran the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program. He's spent decades studying how people think, how they deceive, and how dangerous personalities hide in plain sight until they don't.Tonight we're asking the hard questions: What is a wound collector and how do they differ from someone who simply holds a grudge? How does a high-functioning professional mask this kind of resentment? What triggers someone to finally act after years of dormancy? How do wound collectors flip the script and convince themselves they're the victim? And can these people be identified before they become dangerous?Drop your questions in the chat — we'll get to as many as we can.McKee maintains his innocence and plans to plead not guilty to two counts of premeditated aggravated murder. Spencer and Monique Tepe leave behind two young children.Understanding the psychology won't undo what happened. But it might help someone watching tonight recognize the signs in their own life.#HiddenKillersLive #WoundCollector #RobinDreeke #TeepeMurders #MichaelMcKee #FBIExpert #LiveStream #TrueCrimeLive #BehavioralAnalysis #DomesticViolenceJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Welcome to the Sports Card Strategy Show, home of data driven sports card investing that will help you make money flipping sports cards and enjoy the hobby.On today's show, we discuss...New Cards Added To Sports Card Rankings!Collectors announcement to revamp Beckett and expand SGCThe Best Baseball Card Buy Of 2026Royals moving in fences good for Bobby Witt Jr. cards?Is It A Good Time To Buy Arch Manning?
Today I'm joined by the brilliant Beth Greenacre, a curator, advisor, and art consultant whose career has unfolded quietly but powerfully at the centre of the art world. Beth began working with David Bowie in her twenties and went on to oversee the care, exhibition, and eventual sale of his collection, revealing a deeply personal way of looking, collecting and living with art. Since then, she's built a long-term, trust-led portfolio career advising private collectors, working with artists and estates, and curating exhibitions. In this conversation, we talk about how collectors really make decisions, how intuition is really deeply embodied knowledge and why holding work back can be an act of integrity. This is a rare, generous look inside how the art world actually works, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! KEY TAKEAWAYS Be present. Build relationships patiently. Share your work carefully. Trust that confidence is learned, not bestowed. Quality reveals itself over time, through deep looking, honest editing, and the courage to hold work back until it is ready to speak. Artists are not failing when recognition comes slowly. They're building something with roots. Working with David Bowie taught Beth that confidence isn't about hierarchy or bravado. It's about shared commitment, deep listening, and respect for the work. BEST MOMENTS “My purpose is to acknowledge, celebrate and give space to the power of art to change people's perspectives.” “Nothing meaningful in the art world is built quickly. Not confidence. Not collections. Not trust.” EPISODE RESOURCES https://www.bethgreenacre.com https://www.instagram.com/bethgreenacre_london PODCAST HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

EPISODE 342 - Clark opens this Friday episode with a quick teaser about a new series called "Not For Sale." It's simply asking the question, "Do you have a sports card that you would never sell?" Maybe it's because it has sentimental value, or it was given to you as a special gift. Maybe there's some cool story behind the card? Whatever it is, the podcast @cardstothemoon wants to share your story on a future episode. It doesn't have to be long like this premier video/podcast episode where I share about my first IP auto card. You can DM us here @fivecardguys or @cardstothemoon. Then Clark briefly goes over an IG reel about PSA upcharges that's been getting a lot of attention. It's from a podcast clip at the start of the year with a non-collector friend trying to learn more about the hobby.Clark adds a little more context to the ongoing debate on whether PSA upcharges are fine or need to go. --------------------------CONNECT WITH US!Instagram: @cardstothemoon | @fivecardguys (Clark) | @yntegritysportscards (Hyung) | @tradeyouatrecess (John)Website: https://fivecardguys.com/podcastDaily Auctions (w/ affiliate links): https://fivecardguys.com/dailyauctionsIf you have any questions about the hobby that you would like addressed, email us at hello@fivecardguys.com or DM us on Instagram at @cardstothemoon or @fivecardguys.
This final segment brings the week to a close with one of the most raw and honest conversations of the episode. The panel wrestles with the idea of “entertainment value” in wax and breaks, pushes back on how people rationalize losses, and digs into why regret, risk, and expected value matter more than most collectors want to admit. It's blunt, reflective, occasionally uncomfortable, and very much grounded in lived experience rather than theory. The discussion also highlights the difference between nostalgia-driven exceptions and modern price reality, why moderation keeps the hobby sustainable for most people, and how personal thresholds shape collecting behavior far more than hype ever will. Layered throughout is classic Sports Cards Live back-and-forth, humor, chat interaction, and a late-night energy that only comes when people stop posturing and start being honest.

The FigGuys - A Wrestling Action Figures & Collectibles Podcast
Moc. Loose. Collectors. Forever.The FigGuys are officially kicking off 2026, and we're starting the year exactly how we like it — surrounded by wrestling figures, good vibes, and nonstop collector conversation.This week's episode is all about our First Pickups of 2026, and right out of the gate, shelves are already delivering. We dive deep into the brand new WWE Legends Series 29, breaking down first impressions on Rob Van Dam, The British Bulldog, “Mr. Perfect” Curt Hennig, and the legendary Bobby “The Brain” Heenan. From sculpt details to availability, peg sightings, and why this wave feels like a classic Legends home run, we cover it all straight from the collector's perspective. We also get hands-on with one of the most unexpected and fun releases in recent memory — the WWE x Street Fighter collaboration from Mattel and Capcom. From the bold packaging to the character-inspired designs, we talk about how this crossover hits differently, why it stands out on the shelf, and how it blends two iconic worlds into one truly unique line.Beyond pickups, the episode is packed with the kind of collector conversation that makes FigGuys what it is. We talk Target resets, Walmart hunts, preorder strategies, patience (or lack thereof), and the realities of chasing figures in 2026. We also announce the winner of the Hulk Hogan LJN Contest, with LiPumaMania1980 collaborating on the giveaway, and celebrate another collector taking home a true old-school prize. As always, we round things out with a full dose of Wrestling Figure News, covering the latest reveals, preorders, indie figure updates, and what collectors should be paying attention to as the year ramps up. Between Legends, crossovers, retros, Ultimates, and everything in between, 2026 is already shaping up to be a wild ride.
By watching TIME COLLECTORS we have now "collected" reviews of all three feature films written by Jeff Johnson and directed by Caleb Johnson. We've realized that the father and son team specialize in extremely convoluted plots involving double lives and criminal intrigue, usually with storylines tying together in a manner far more ambitious than your average DIY filmmaker. For instance, 2 TO TANGLE (2013) is about twins who were separated at birth and have never met each other, and all the confusion that could arise from that. ECHO RHYME (2016) involves faked deaths, revenge plots, and a gang of high level jewel thieves. While it's admirable that the Johnsons strive for such vivid storytelling, sometimes it's tedious to watch their films because the details get in the way of the entertainment. Fortunately, TIME COLLECTORS is probably the easiest to follow of the Johnson films, all the more impressive because it was their first major work and director Caleb Johnson was only 17 years old when it was released. TIME COLLECTORS is the story of Sam, a rich and influential Christian paleontologist, who dies in the film's first act and leaves property to his grandson Brad. While executing Sam's will, Brad realizes that Sam has left him clues hinting at an archaeological discovery so big that it could rock scientists' understanding of geological history, specifically that it would prove young earth creationism, the conservative Christian belief that the earth is only 6,000 years old based on certain biblical interpretations, is true and backed by scientific evidence. It turns out that Sam is in possession of the skeletons of human giants, which blows the lid off a massive conspiracy to cover up biblical truths in the academy. A gang of criminal toughs will stop at nothing to prevent this discovery from reaching the public. This entertaining Christian film is worth a watch for its explanation of the Christian myth of the giant Nephilim, but it also shows a common yearning we see in the genre for matters of faith to be proven without a doubt by science, something that seems contrary to what "faith" means.

Stefan Baumann Podcast - Inspiration and Insights on Art and Painting
In this Podcast Stefan Baumann describes how to create a body of work that is autobiographical and represents the life with living that we all are on a journey with on this planet. To understand how to create autobiographical work will be the foundation of how we move forward and how we separate ourselves from work created by AI and work that is truly created at a passion. In an age dominated by digital influence and AI, people seek authentic connection. Buyers and audiences want art that reflects real human circumstances and feelings, not just flawless images. They want to feel the presence of an artist who has lived through struggle, joy, doubt, and hope. My creative process embraces chance and randomness. Using my phone like a tool of Russian roulette, I access snapshots of a life worth living. These everyday digital fragments—photos, messages, moments—form an autobiographical record. By reinterpreting them, I create visual stories that reveal truths often overlooked. Each image I choose reflects a part of my life's story, rich with personal meaning. Together, they form a mosaic that speaks to universal human experiences. This emotional connection makes my work uniquely meaningful to collectors seeking depth beyond surface beauty. My art is a living archive of memories and emotions that go deeper than any AI can mimic. It conveys vulnerability, hope, nostalgia—the intangible feelings that give life to my pieces. I want collectors to connect with my work on an emotional level, recognizing themselves in the stories I tell. To do this, I use techniques that embrace imperfection and spontaneity, highlighting raw human emotion rather than polished digital perfection. Even when using digital tools, I prioritize authenticity. I balance technology with intentionality, resisting over-curation to keep the truth of each moment alive. Themes of community, memory, vulnerability, and time run through my art, reflecting what I consider a life worth living: one filled with connection, discovery, and self-reflection. These ideas appear through layered images and symbolic contrasts between presence and absence. Challenges in my life have shaped my artistic voice, adding depth and honesty to my work. These experiences inform how I see the world and the stories I choose to share. What sets my art apart from AI-generated work is its emotional depth and humanity. AI can create images, but it cannot replicate the lived experience and conscious reflection behind my pieces. I am committed to transforming the chaos and beauty of everyday life into art that speaks to our shared humanity. This is the essence of my journey as an artist. #MixedMediaNarratives #HumanVulnerability #MemoryCollage #SpontaneousImagery #LayeredEmotions #AuthenticDigitalArt #AntiAIAesthetics #SelfReflectiveStoriesSupport the showFor more information go to www.StefanBaumann.com https://www.stefanbaumann.com/Free Book For painting, coaching call me on my phone at 415-606-9074
Part 4 shifts from merger talk into the part of grading nobody likes to say out loud. It starts with the “I've heard stories” framing, then draws a hard line between pre Nat Turner ownership and post Nat Turner, including the point that Collectors inherited liabilities and has paid out on mistakes from earlier eras. From there, the panel gets into why the hobby quietly benefits from inconsistency, even while asking for standardization. And then the episode drops the best real world illustration of the entire debate: a card that graded 5.5 on a Beckett raw card review, then later came back as a BGS 9.5. Same card, same grader ecosystem, wildly different outcome. Highlights in Part 4 include: The “I've heard stories” disclaimer and why some things get talked around, not stated Pre Turner vs post Turner: inherited liability, payouts, and where blame actually belongs The uncomfortable truth: if grading was consistent, resubmissions would collapse Is there a tipping point where collectors stop paying for the slab number and start paying for the card The “record sale” culture and why nobody flexes a record low Big money entering the hobby and the moment investors realize how the sausage is made The raw card review story: 5.5 to 9.5, and what that says about grading as a product The ethics question: if you sell a card that jumped grades, what do you owe the buyer Reholder without regrade: should a card be reassessed every time it passes through the facility Old standards vs new standards: should an older PSA 7 stay a 7 even if it would grade lower today The health inspector analogy that nails the point: same item, changed condition, unchanged label Buyer beware vs “protect the hobby”: how those two ideas collide in the content era The practical takeaway: advanced collectors hunt lower grades with stronger eye appeal, not the other way around Part 4 is basically the grading debate in its purest form: what people say they want, what they actually reward, and what happens when reality shows up.

The FigGuys - A Wrestling Action Figures & Collectibles Podcast
Moc. Loose. Collectors. Forever.It's Episode 85 and the FINAL FigGuys episode of 2025, and Mike & Tom are closing out the year exactly how collectors should — celebrating the best figures, biggest moments, and wildest highlights from an absolutely stacked year in wrestling toys.This isn't a news-heavy episode. Instead, the guys dive headfirst into a full Year in Review, breaking down Figures of the Year, standout Ultimates, Elites, Coliseum Collection releases, Big Rubber Guys, Ringside Toys, Jazwares, and more — all while bouncing through collector stories, side tangents, and plenty of laughs.From long-awaited returns and flawless executions to surprise debuts and “how did this even happen?” moments, 2025 proved to be one of the most spoiled years collectors have ever experienced, and Episode 85 covers it all.The conversation also shifts to the state of wrestling itself — highlighting standout character work, emotional moments from the year, and why wrestling figures help preserve the memories that matter most to fans.Most importantly, Mike & Tom take time to thank the community — the collectors, creators, companies, and listeners who continue to make the hobby and the FigGuys journey so special. This is a celebration. A send-off. And the perfect way to close the book on an unforgettable year.Here's to 2025 — and an even bigger 2026 ahead.FIGGUYS DISCOUNT CODESSupport the show and save while you build your collection:Ringside Collectibles: Use code FIGGUYS for 10% offFigures Toy Company: Use code OFFICIALFIGGUYS for 10% offBig Shots: Use code THEFIGGUYS10 for 10% off
Part 3 is where the conversation takes a sharp turn into the mechanics of power. We start with Josh asking the uncomfortable question: if PSA can decertify slabs selectively, what happens when they own Beckett too? From there, it spirals into the real stuff collectors argue about behind the scenes but rarely say out loud. This episode is part hobby debate, part reality check, and part rant. It also includes one of the most memorable analogies of the entire emergency stream: PSA upcharges as “insurance premiums” paid by someone else. Highlights in Part 3 include: The decertification question: what PSA can do, what they won't do, and why it matters The real concern: what happens to Beckett slabs if the brand is sunsetted Why job cuts at Beckett are basically guaranteed if Collectors is building toward an IPO Will submissions slow down, or does demand stay bulletproof no matter what happens A blunt take on phantom POPs, resubmissions, and why pop reports mislead collectors The PSA upcharge rant: who pays, who benefits, and why the buyer wins Whether standardization in grading would help collectors or expose the whole system Registry culture, resale pressure, and why many collectors chase holders over cards The future question: machine-driven grading, consistency, and what it could do to premiums The Black Label premium debate and why some buyers pay like the number is the card The punchline: grading isn't a scam, but it can still be a sham Part 3 is where the episode stops being about “PSA bought Beckett” and becomes a broader argument about what grading has turned the hobby into.

Part 2 picks up right where the emergency reaction left off, and the conversation gets more pointed. We dig into actual market share data, what Beckett's role really was in the ecosystem, and the uncomfortable question nobody wants to answer: is there any scenario where a near-monopoly helps collectors? From there, we move into who benefits next, what alternatives could rise, and why some collectors feel like this is the moment the hobby's power structure finally shows its hand. Highlights in Part 2 include: Ari's take on what PSA could strip from Beckett immediately and why flat-fee models may disappear GemRate market share numbers and why “Beckett was irrelevant” is not the full story The Beckett booth reality check: lines at shows despite the online narrative The big question: could monopoly conditions ever produce any consumer upside? “Backhanded positives” and the risk of pushing collectors away from grading entirely Potential winners outside PSA: Mike Baker Authenticated, CGC, and other niche graders The CGC price increase timing and why it looks like a missed opportunity The growing frustration around PSA culture, dealer networks, and perceived unfair advantages Fanatics speculation: liquidity, conflict of interest talk, and why a Fanatics-Collectors deal feels unlikely IPO logic and why removing “future competitors” can matter more than saving brands The closing reminder: don't let the industry chase you out of the hobby, enjoy cards without needing a slab Part 2 is where the discussion shifts from “what happened” to “what happens next”, and the answers are not comforting.

From stem-cell “hair nurseries” to xeno-pig organ farms, Roach uncovers the strange, brilliant future of becoming a “new” you.Host: Dan SchreiberGuests: Mary RoachProducer: Cassie MerrittHead of Podcasts: Al Riddell
Mike and Jesse debate the massive acquisition of Beckett (BGS) by Collectors, the parent company of PSA. The guys have vehemently different reactions to the deal: Jesse believes Collectors will "save" the brand by leveraging its history and media assets, while Mike argues BGS is destined to be "gutted" like SGC. They discuss what this "monopoly" means for the hobby and whether it will actually improve PSA's turnaround times. Then, Gordy Bonker joins the show to break down a major shift in the vintage market, with record-breaking sales for Mickey Mantle and Roberto Clemente cards. He discusses Ken Goldin's theory about institutional money entering the space and whether hedge funds are finally treating cards like art. Plus, the guys discuss the London Card Show scandal, the new Arena Club "FR34K" packs, and answer a very timely mailbag question about what Collectors might buy next.
