Welcome to Hobby Nonsense.
spk_0
It's another episode with your boy, sports boy, and your boy, solar ray.
spk_0
Here baby.
spk_0
How are we, are you accepting this now?
spk_0
I'm warming up to it.
spk_0
I saw that you accepted it in the, you're making a thumbnail for the upcoming break this
spk_0
Friday.
spk_0
We're doing little finis.
spk_0
Yeah, we're doing it.
spk_0
We'll be breaking WWE finis this Friday.
spk_0
And you put solar ray on there.
spk_0
Well, here's the thing, here's the thing.
spk_0
The people that know us from the podcast, they know that you hate it.
spk_0
And then the people in the breaks, sure.
spk_0
So it's like a little meta thing.
spk_0
I can get it.
spk_0
I know.
spk_0
Oh, I love breaking that fourth wall.
spk_0
I'll get a meta on us.
spk_0
If you don't get the reference then, if you don't get meta thing, get out of here.
spk_0
That's right.
spk_0
Welcome to another episode.
spk_0
I'm gonna get the reference.
spk_0
Don't you get the reference.
spk_0
That's good.
spk_0
It's insane.
spk_0
There's so many things going on this week.
spk_0
And last week, there's so much to catch you guys up on to explain what's happening to fill
spk_0
you in and educate.
spk_0
I honestly, I'm trying to figure out where to start.
spk_0
That's, I know where to start.
spk_0
I think we need to start with your marathon of a breaking on Friday.
spk_0
It's the Wednesday.
spk_0
Wednesday.
spk_0
That was Wednesday.
spk_0
spk_0
Wednesday was a blur.
spk_0
Disney Chrome.
spk_0
Disney Chrome was Wednesday.
spk_0
Sports boy.
spk_0
Your beloved sports boy broke the new 2025 Disney Chrome.
spk_0
Yes.
spk_0
That's all right.
spk_0
And what was the hours that you did?
spk_0
It was 17, 16 hours and 45 minutes.
spk_0
16 hours and stay on to get to that 17 hour.
spk_0
I went to bed and this point was still on.
spk_0
I started at 730 and it finished just a little before midnight, I believe.
spk_0
Is that the record?
spk_0
For me, I think it was a personal record.
spk_0
I'm sure there's other people for you.
spk_0
Yeah, for me, it was a record, I believe.
spk_0
But the big news.
spk_0
Well, if you didn't already know this, that means you probably don't follow us on socials
spk_0
or anything like that.
spk_0
And you only listen to the pod, which there's nothing wrong with that.
spk_0
The generous.
spk_0
spk_0
If anything, I'd say they're the least degenerate because they're just like, I'm just listening
spk_0
to a podcast.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
All right.
spk_0
So the non-degenerates.
spk_0
But if you did not know, I pulled the one of one, the one and only Walt Disney card that
spk_0
happened.
spk_0
And it's not a huge deal.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
I didn't freak out or nothing.
spk_0
He's been there done that.
spk_0
So what's really crazy about it?
spk_0
And I didn't even remember this.
spk_0
I pretended like I remembered it, but I did not.
spk_0
That people were saying, like, dude, you called it on the hobby nonsense podcast.
spk_0
Like when you had Aaron on, I don't even remember that card even being mentioned.
spk_0
I don't even remember that the card was even mentioned.
spk_0
Here's the thing.
spk_0
I was thinking of like what I was going to have for dinner that night or my brain was
spk_0
just like somewhere else.
spk_0
You know what's great about this is it actually helps me feel better because when I've
spk_0
been doing the S.C.N. pod for years, that would happen all the time.
spk_0
Mike would be like, yeah, we literally just talked about that.
spk_0
I'm like, oh, I wasn't part of it.
spk_0
Like it was like him and the guest having conversation.
spk_0
I was like, I was thinking about something else, gonna pull something else, tuned it out.
spk_0
Too late to know.
spk_0
That's what happened.
spk_0
And it's not only me.
spk_0
So that being the case, we definitely talked about it.
spk_0
And apparently I said, I said pretty emphatically, I'm gonna be pulling that card on Wednesday
spk_0
on VennX live in the break.
spk_0
And it just so happened to be in the very first case that I opened.
spk_0
Now there are some out there who are saying rigged.
spk_0
Exactly.
spk_0
That's a loaded case.
spk_0
That was gonna be my next question.
spk_0
They knew everybody knew.
spk_0
Topso's it on it.
spk_0
That's, here's the thing.
spk_0
I don't want to refute it because I want people to believe it.
spk_0
I want people to think, oh, this guy gets loaded cases.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
Going, getting this stuff from this guy.
spk_0
It's not true, but I'll encourage you to believe it.
spk_0
Believe them.
spk_0
Yeah, just to just accept that that's what happened.
spk_0
So that was a big deal.
spk_0
That happened.
spk_0
What little press came from the fact that we also hit a, the Maleficent one of one, the
spk_0
Superfractor as well.
spk_0
I ended up giving away $1,000 in break credit that day because each case had a $500 bounty
spk_0
on it.
spk_0
Now granted, I had not hit a Superfractor in quite some time before this.
spk_0
I had a nice run of them and then I don't think this year I'd hit a Superfractor.
spk_0
So the fact that I hit two out of four cases was not bad.
spk_0
That's not good.
spk_0
I have four more cases that are coming tomorrow, which is Tuesday.
spk_0
Oh wow.
spk_0
We'll work this on Monday night.
spk_0
So it comes in tomorrow.
spk_0
I already have the break listed for tomorrow.
spk_0
I've got, I just want to hand listed all four cases.
spk_0
We'll do them.
spk_0
How are you going to do another marathon?
spk_0
Probably a little bit and maybe not full 17 hours.
spk_0
Like what are we looking at here?
spk_0
Like a shift like you know, a shift.
spk_0
So it depends on how much is filled tomorrow because tomorrow I'll probably go on.
spk_0
I've got it set for 5 p.m.
spk_0
But if it's not much has filled, I may go on it like noon and try and start filling it.
spk_0
And then I don't think we'll fill all four cases tomorrow.
spk_0
But I'm going live again on Wednesday for SpongeBob, which that's a whole other animal.
spk_0
I want to talk about that for sure.
spk_0
Yeah, I'm curious how that's going to work because I'm still not 100 percent.
spk_0
But I figured, well, I only have two cases of SpongeBob.
spk_0
It's very popular.
spk_0
I will probably move through those and then I'll do more Disney after that.
spk_0
And then Friday we've got the finance break.
spk_0
And there's only going to be one case of that.
spk_0
Unfortunately, there's one case of finance.
spk_0
There's one case of finance.
spk_0
Boxes in a case.
spk_0
Double check that.
spk_0
I think that could be right.
spk_0
I am double checking as with me.
spk_0
10.
spk_0
10.
spk_0
No, no, no, that's 10.
spk_0
Each pack contains 10 cards case.
spk_0
Let me get back to that.
spk_0
But the bottom line is it is eight boxes per case.
spk_0
But then Saturday, I'm like, well, I've got Tuesday.
spk_0
I've got Wednesday after this SpongeBob.
spk_0
I got maybe I can do some.
spk_0
Well, I really can't because we're going to be at your house doing the finance.
spk_0
So I can really can't do it on Friday.
spk_0
So Saturday may be the other big Disney.
spk_0
You're going to need to take a break.
spk_0
Oh, after that.
spk_0
Yeah, like next week, next Wednesday, in fact, we'll record the pod as usual.
spk_0
We'll release it Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning.
spk_0
However, Wednesday of next week, I've got surgery.
spk_0
The first surgery I've really had since I got my wisdom teeth out.
spk_0
This little, I've got a little like coma.
spk_0
Oh, what?
spk_0
For those who are watching the YouTube video, tune into whatever eight minute marker.
spk_0
Well, actually, it's probably more six or seven.
spk_0
But there's like a lump on my neck.
spk_0
Have you ever noticed that?
spk_0
Is that when you got bit by the vampire that one time?
spk_0
Is it like if I touch your neck?
spk_0
It's very soft.
spk_0
It's very soft.
spk_0
So is that bad?
spk_0
Can you live with it?
spk_0
I can't probably live with it.
spk_0
It's just why you have surgery because it's unsightly.
spk_0
I don't even see it.
spk_0
I can't even notice it.
spk_0
Well, what's funny is since I've been growing the beard, the beard is insane.
spk_0
By the way, I've got to try.
spk_0
I think we haven't talked at all about cards.
spk_0
I'm so sorry.
spk_0
We'll talk about cards.
spk_0
We'll talk about cards.
spk_0
But yeah, the lipoma is just a fatty.
spk_0
It's just a ball of fat pretty much.
spk_0
And it's like a meatball.
spk_0
Yeah, pretty much.
spk_0
And I'm like, listen, this is my money maker.
spk_0
You know, like I'm on camera a lot.
spk_0
I don't want this thing coming out of my neck because especially at certain angles,
spk_0
how we film in the studio is the good side where I don't have the lipoma but the other side.
spk_0
You know what, it doesn't become a little bit more noticeable.
spk_0
Exactly.
spk_0
I don't need people associating me with the goiter neck.
spk_0
So it's like, you know, the guy with the goiter.
spk_0
So next Wednesday, that guy, oh yeah, Buzz Lightyear Gordered.
spk_0
Goiter neck.
spk_0
Is this like a like an in and out surgery?
spk_0
Yeah, same day.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
And then they said it's like maybe a couple days of recovery.
spk_0
It shouldn't be bad.
spk_0
So I'm hoping they just cut it, flop it out and then we're good to go.
spk_0
Like they're going to affect like any of you know, they're going to have like a robot
spk_0
for sure.
spk_0
Well, they did say like the only like the minimal chance that like affects nerves where
spk_0
I wouldn't be able to feel my earlobe anymore.
spk_0
Oh, that's crazy.
spk_0
And I'm like, well, I don't want I don't want that.
spk_0
But I mean, I guess it's not the worst thing ever.
spk_0
And he's like, and many like really minimal that like it affects like your mouth and face
spk_0
and stuff.
spk_0
And I'm like, well, I definitely don't want that.
spk_0
Like, but he made it.
spk_0
He sold me on like, oh, it's not going to happen pretty much.
spk_0
I am another I'm saying I'm scared.
spk_0
But that being said, it's busy week and it's a busy next week.
spk_0
So that is not your fault.
spk_0
I'm just letting you guys know I am going to be doing as much as I can to get back to
spk_0
everybody on social media and here with hobby nonsense to get us really going on today's
spk_0
episode after we've recounted everything from last week.
spk_0
Oh, I do have to dang it.
spk_0
I almost moved this on and I couldn't.
spk_0
The one thing I was going to mention if you guys didn't know this when we talked about
spk_0
this with Aaron Abrams, we talked about the Disney product.
spk_0
We talked about like the MLB crossover which those cards have been huge.
spk_0
What we didn't talk about in that he did not mention it was not in the checklist were
spk_0
the signers of some of these cards.
spk_0
We had no idea that not only was there going to be Tim Allen signing as Buzz Lightyear, but
spk_0
there was also going to be Tom Hanks signing as Woody.
spk_0
There was also going to be Will Smith signing as the Genie.
spk_0
I mean, there were Billy Crystal.
spk_0
Billy Crystal was signing as Mike was asking which I don't believe actually no I think
spk_0
Billy was actually on there originally.
spk_0
But there's a few of them that were just not on their big names Tom Hanks will Smith.
spk_0
Man, I want to say there was one more or you know what I think someone teased that there
spk_0
was one.
spk_0
I think someone said Johnny Depp signed as Jack Sparrow crazy, but I have not seen anything
spk_0
either.
spk_0
Yeah, so I don't think that's the case.
spk_0
But anyways, like the Tom Hanks one that was one that sold, I believe it sold yesterday
spk_0
sold for $5,000.
spk_0
$4,950 out of the orange.
spk_0
Yes, the orange one.
spk_0
Yeah, so that one sold.
spk_0
You've got the Mike Wazowski signed by Billy Crystal one of one, the superfractored
spk_0
that sold for 8500.
spk_0
The Disney Bambi not signed by anybody.
spk_0
Superfractored just sold for 5,300.
spk_0
There's some big sales going on.
spk_0
So I'm glad to see it's still very popular and everybody who keeps saying they're ripping
spk_0
it seems to really enjoy it too.
spk_0
That's what's going on.
spk_0
Yeah, I enjoyed ripping the retail product.
spk_0
Well, and you hit like what was it the contagion making mouse right out of 150?
spk_0
150.
spk_0
That was all the blue one.
spk_0
And you got that out of a blaster box.
spk_0
Dang, how much of that run you?
spk_0
$30.
spk_0
$30.
spk_0
That's insane.
spk_0
Yeah, some of those blasters.
spk_0
They're hit or miss for sure because some of them you can walk away with not a numbered
spk_0
card, but others obviously, yeah, exactly.
spk_0
And guys, we recorded it to give away.
spk_0
So check out the YouTube channel.
spk_0
Oh, I didn't give it away about that.
spk_0
We're going to give it away to a lucky viewer.
spk_0
We just told me that.
spk_0
I didn't realize that was for a giveaway too.
spk_0
That's, well, that's even more exciting.
spk_0
So anyways, that's all the Disney follow up.
spk_0
The other product, there's a few products that are coming out and that did just come
spk_0
out.
spk_0
Magic the Gathering Spider-Man.
spk_0
Man.
spk_0
We just need to talk about it for a second because I've been trying, we are working to get
spk_0
some magic the gathering.
spk_0
I'm just going to start saying MTG.
spk_0
MTG?
spk_0
It's a lot, it's a mouthful for magic MTG experts.
spk_0
We're trying to get some of them on the pod for different MTGs because there's the original
spk_0
obviously, but then there's all of these new products that are coming out where they've
spk_0
got avatar and you got Spider-Man now.
spk_0
And now we also have these secret layers that were just released.
spk_0
And some are asking, what's the secret layer?
spk_0
What is the new release as well?
spk_0
That's what we wanted to talk a little bit about along with Spider-Man.
spk_0
But first, the Spider-Man one came out so high.
spk_0
Like that people have been trying to get their hands on these booster boxes, specifically
spk_0
the collector boosters.
spk_0
Those are the ones that have the foil cards in them that have the bigger chance to hit
spk_0
a rare card.
spk_0
Those have been going for, in some cases, the booster display or the, the, the collector
spk_0
boosters were up in the $800, $900 even at some point.
spk_0
They have come down pretty significantly down into the 500s.
spk_0
You're talking about the box, right?
spk_0
For a box.
spk_0
Yeah, but a single pack that was going for what in the 80s we said, like at some point.
spk_0
For.
spk_0
And now it's going for like a $40, which is still crazy.
spk_0
That's a lot.
spk_0
It's a one pack.
spk_0
Yeah, one pack is going for $40.
spk_0
But it's also because we're seeing there's the Soul Stone card in there that just did,
spk_0
I think there's one that has sold for 30,000 maybe.
spk_0
I know it's there's one that's sold for 10, but there's also someone who said I thought
spk_0
it was like 30,000.
spk_0
Maybe I saw that also, but I know for sure on eBay, I checked, I checked before Kim and
spk_0
here.
spk_0
There are some that have sold for 15,000.
spk_0
Oh, really?
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
So then yeah, we sold comps on them for the, for the new Soul Stone, which three different
spk_0
variants.
spk_0
Like you said, of the Soul Stone, the one with Thanos has been selling for around 2K all
spk_0
day long, which is still pretty awesome.
spk_0
And we talked earlier on the pod.
spk_0
There's currently a listing, listing on eBay for a Beckett 9.5 for 60,000 dollars.
spk_0
That's what they listed.
spk_0
Listed.
spk_0
Obviously that we haven't seen in a sold price of that, but there's some big cards for this
spk_0
product.
spk_0
Tell me a little bit, you said like, you told me a little bit about this product beforehand.
spk_0
Can you explain it to the audience?
spk_0
spk_0
So we're talking about how there's two different variations of packs.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
You have your play booster and your collector booster.
spk_0
The collector booster is going to have the loaded rares, the foils and the flashy variants.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
Those are the ones where you can, you can get that Soul Stone.
spk_0
You can get that Thanos Soul Stone and the one that's worth possibly 30,000 dollars.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
But and there are some other chase cards, some of the ones that I really liked are the,
spk_0
the Spider-Man costume cards are seven different variants.
spk_0
They're called, the card is called the spectacular Spider-Man card.
spk_0
And it's the same card, but Spider-Man is wearing a different suit in each card.
spk_0
Those are all borderless cards.
spk_0
Right.
spk_0
Borderless full art cards.
spk_0
And they vary in price anywhere from like $500 to $1200.
spk_0
Oh, wow.
spk_0
So some of them are more rare than others.
spk_0
I'm noticing on TCG player that the regular spectacular Spider-Man uniform or the outfit
spk_0
is actually not the most expensive one.
spk_0
I would have thought that would be going for the most, but there's one that shows
spk_0
like the fantastic four, which I think it's a comic book reference.
spk_0
Oh, okay.
spk_0
I know when I played the Spider-Man video game on the PS5, this is one of the suits.
spk_0
Oh, really?
spk_0
You could change it.
spk_0
That's got to be cut from the comics somewhere, I'm just not familiar with.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
Well, that's cool.
spk_0
So obviously this is very popular right now.
spk_0
We're seeing prices that have come down on it somewhat.
spk_0
I don't know where to tell people to get in on this though.
spk_0
Like it's like, is this a good price now that it's come down?
spk_0
Or is it still one of these like, hey, wait a little bit longer?
spk_0
I think if you can get your hands on it in retail,
spk_0
then go for it.
spk_0
Well, but take a look at what the final fantasy ones did.
spk_0
Like did they go up?
spk_0
Did they go down?
spk_0
It's the same kind of comparison because they had play boosters.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
And they have the collector boosters.
spk_0
So the Chocobos were the like the Spider-Man suit variants.
spk_0
Yes.
spk_0
Like were.
spk_0
So those are comparable.
spk_0
So just kind of maybe take a look at that.
spk_0
See what the market did.
spk_0
And depending on if you're a Spider-Man guy or not a Spider-Man guy,
spk_0
then make your choice from there.
spk_0
But I did I've have noticed, Jesse, in the magic,
spk_0
the gathering, playing community,
spk_0
they're not really excited about this set at the way that the mechanics are working.
spk_0
Oh, really?
spk_0
So the gameplay, maybe that is affecting the overall process.
spk_0
So they're not excited about what the cards do or what they don't do.
spk_0
Oh, but in the collectors world, people are excited about it.
spk_0
But the people that play the game aren't really excited about it.
spk_0
So maybe the play boosters and all that other stuff,
spk_0
they're not too enthused about it.
spk_0
So I'm curious to the people that are listening,
spk_0
they're avid, magic, the gathering players.
spk_0
Let me know what you guys think about the set.
spk_0
Is it what I said in the community or am I completely wrong?
spk_0
Well, let me do to put a maybe a little comparison to it.
spk_0
You said final fantasy, you know, how that compares.
spk_0
So the collector booster packs for that you're looking at them coming out.
spk_0
Let's see.
spk_0
I mean, it looks like they actually release somewhere in like the 50 to 60 dollar range.
spk_0
Or at least that's what they started selling at.
spk_0
It hit 130 something at some point for a pack for a pack,
spk_0
single pack of the collector booster.
spk_0
But even now it's still selling for 121.
spk_0
So that I think does say a lot of the, I guess,
spk_0
longevity of the Spider-Man MTG product versus say something like final fantasy.
spk_0
There must be, there must be something with the gameplay that's affecting
spk_0
how collectible these cards are.
spk_0
That's interesting.
spk_0
Yeah, I mean, obviously you want cool art.
spk_0
You want something that people that resonates with the, the collector,
spk_0
but you got to also have the cards mean something in the world of gameplay.
spk_0
Because gameplay is really important, I think, with value of MTG.
spk_0
And you know, it's still valuable when Pokemon, but I don't think it's the same.
spk_0
Exactly. I agree. I agree.
spk_0
And I don't know what they're planning on doing with the Marvel IP down the road.
spk_0
Like are we going to have more infinity stones?
spk_0
Is the soul stone just the first one?
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
Out of all the, what is it?
spk_0
All six, six infinity stones, five and then the one in the middle.
spk_0
Yeah. Yeah.
spk_0
So this could be one of six that possibly you could collect.
spk_0
And that's a good point.
spk_0
Yeah. I wonder that.
spk_0
I did say, I saw some forums like on Reddit.
spk_0
That they're guessing like some enthusiasts are guessing this goes to like maybe four,
spk_0
four, 50, four a box as opposed to where 500 right now.
spk_0
Okay. So we'll see.
spk_0
There's also other people thinking that, you know, when Avatar comes out,
spk_0
maybe that pushes us down a little bit more to because we're talking about Avatar,
spk_0
the anime or Avatar, the Disney property, anime, the Avatar,
spk_0
or Avatar, the anime, okay.
spk_0
That MTG is also doing that.
spk_0
Gotcha. No, like what was it?
spk_0
Which I think comes airbender.
spk_0
Yes. Okay.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
No, no, not Navi air airy, not in.
spk_0
Yeah. Okay. Gotcha.
spk_0
Though I do want to see the next one.
spk_0
It's, yeah.
spk_0
What's that?
spk_0
Avatar?
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
I dislike those movies.
spk_0
Even the first one.
spk_0
I hate those movies.
spk_0
I can understand why you would say you dislike the second one.
spk_0
It was okay.
spk_0
I like that.
spk_0
I hate all.
spk_0
I don't, I'm not.
spk_0
You didn't see it in 3D though at the time.
spk_0
Like when it came to the end.
spk_0
I have what we're talking.
spk_0
So like 3D is a little hard for me.
spk_0
I get that.
spk_0
You know, but still like,
spk_0
when I saw that in 3D and the theaters, that was like at the time, it was like,
spk_0
wow, we have, you know, we have made this is the future.
spk_0
And then they decided to wait like a decade before the next ones came out.
spk_0
And I think it kind of lost some of its lust.
spk_0
Some of some of the steam.
spk_0
But before we jump,
spk_0
ship too much on this topic,
spk_0
there's some other announcements for MTG this weekend,
spk_0
which was the secret layer releases.
spk_0
Correct.
spk_0
So what secret layer?
spk_0
Secret layer for the people that know
spk_0
and all this information was dropped this weekend at Atlanta, something called magic con.
spk_0
So it was, it was held September 26th of the 28th in Atlanta, of course.
spk_0
So magic, the gathering has something called secret layer and is a product line
spk_0
from Wizard of the Coast that offers limited edition direct to consumer drops
spk_0
of magic, the gathering cards.
spk_0
So these are special one of a kind things that they drop online.
spk_0
So these 10 individual drops that were announced.
spk_0
What's 10?
spk_0
spk_0
10 different, 10 different ones.
spk_0
I have four that I'm really excited about.
spk_0
OK.
spk_0
But all of them are going to drop October the 13th.
spk_0
So you'll be able to putting your now,
spk_0
reorders and do that good stuff.
spk_0
October 13th, does that include the one,
spk_0
the PlayStation one as well?
spk_0
That does not include the PlayStation one.
spk_0
spk_0
All right.
spk_0
Because there's also, so apparently there's going to be a PlayStation one that includes games
spk_0
like God of War.
spk_0
It looked like I think last of us horizon zero,
spk_0
dawn, lore, craft, Tomb Raider.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
There, I think there's a few of those in there.
spk_0
I, and again, the only question I have is like, OK.
spk_0
So do you play these like in gameplay somewhere?
spk_0
I don't like the secret or the secret layer.
spk_0
How does that incorporate into actual gameplay?
spk_0
If it's like at such a limited release,
spk_0
well, I don't think that one I don't think it's a limited release.
spk_0
I think you can preorder as many as you want.
spk_0
And I don't know what the cost of each individual card is.
spk_0
Oh, OK.
spk_0
Man, yeah.
spk_0
So I don't know.
spk_0
That's why we don't know if there's any necessarily like high value cards.
spk_0
Because there's no chases.
spk_0
It's not like tops now where there's like a one of one or a variant or,
spk_0
oh, there's going to be some chases because here's a thing.
spk_0
You got the office.
spk_0
OK.
spk_0
Now it may not be multiple characters because all we've seen is white.
spk_0
Let me, let me, OK.
spk_0
Yeah, yeah.
spk_0
Sorry.
spk_0
Sorry.
spk_0
I'm jumping.
spk_0
Let me give you some of the ones that we're excited about.
spk_0
Of course, Iron Maiden.
spk_0
Yes.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
The band, the band Iron Maiden, which is interesting to me.
spk_0
I kind of, it kind of goes with it does.
spk_0
Like it makes sense.
spk_0
But it's also like, go ahead.
spk_0
You know what?
spk_0
I'll save this time.
spk_0
Iron Maiden, Jaws, which is super surprising.
spk_0
The movie, Jaws, Jaws.
spk_0
Shosteevins, Spielberg.
spk_0
Yep.
spk_0
Furby, which is crazy to get that because I think it's Mattel.
spk_0
And there's some really scary looking Furby cards and just like regular Furby cards.
spk_0
And there is the office, which is interesting like you were saying to your point.
spk_0
And this isn't legitimate like office tie-in.
spk_0
This isn't like a rain Wilson tie-in.
spk_0
Yeah, it because it's only like Dwight's character.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
Exactly.
spk_0
You see cards like swords to plowshares, which I love the biblical reference to go along with it.
spk_0
But it's just like Dwight and overalls holding up a gigantic beat.
spk_0
There's like one where he's dressed as a king.
spk_0
It's called the Dwight trute Haking card.
spk_0
And there's several, it's just several references back to the show, which I absolutely love.
spk_0
And I will do everything in my power to get some of those cards for myself.
spk_0
And if I get anything extra, maybe we'll give some away or something.
spk_0
But I need some of these cards.
spk_0
I need some of these cards personally.
spk_0
And it's like, I love that they're doing it.
spk_0
But when you start seeing like, oh, we got Furby.
spk_0
We got jaws.
spk_0
We got iron made.
spk_0
My question starts to become, are we just like buying up all these IPs and making as many sets
spk_0
as we can for a money grab?
spk_0
Or is this actually like, and what's a mountain grab really, right?
spk_0
It's like a business is trying to sell things that they think would be popular to their audience.
spk_0
Is that a bad thing?
spk_0
I don't think so, but at the same time, it's like, it just feels like when you put up that many all at once,
spk_0
it feels like it loses a little bit of the specialness as opposed to if they had just like,
spk_0
don't want it at time.
spk_0
You know, it's like, hey, we're going to do one of these each month in the next few, in the next year.
spk_0
This will be what you need to get excited for for this month.
spk_0
And then it doesn't cannibalize each one because it's like, oh, well, I was going to buy like a lot more of this,
spk_0
but I can't because I need to buy one of that one of that.
spk_0
So my thing is if MTG is listening, which I don't know why they would, if they're listening,
spk_0
you maybe don't do it all at once unless there's some game plan that I'm just completely oblivious to.
spk_0
But they're not putting out a lot of cards.
spk_0
Like I'm looking at it here, but did you say your thought was like you could just buy as many as like it's just as many as that single card.
spk_0
So the on the Magic Gathering website, I'm looking at it right now.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
For the Dwight Shrewt cards, there is one, two, three, four, five, six different Dwight Shrewt cards.
spk_0
Thank you to my public education.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
The prices are out.
spk_0
The non foil is $2,999.
spk_0
And for a traditional foil, it is $3,999.
spk_0
So the prices are already out.
spk_0
Correct.
spk_0
Oh, that's very interesting for each, each drop they have prices listed for non foils for traditional.
spk_0
The Iron Maiden, they have something called a rainbow foil for $3,999.
spk_0
The Furby ones, non foil, rainbow foil and confetti foil, the confetti foil, $5,999.
spk_0
So here's a question.
spk_0
What's the drop then that happens on, what did you say October 13th?
spk_0
Correct.
spk_0
So what's the drop that is a pre order for all the cards?
spk_0
But then why am I able to order them now?
spk_0
Wouldn't they get the order them now?
spk_0
They'll tell you what the prices are.
spk_0
Well, I'm on the secret layer dot wizards dot com.
spk_0
Are you able to order them right now?
spk_0
And I'm looking at, well, let me just see maybe.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
So you know what?
spk_0
I think what I'm seeing is all the previous ones because I am not actually seeing the ones we just mentioned.
spk_0
So you go to magic secret layer dot com.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
Right now in order some past secret layer dot wizards dot com.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
So I've seen extra life.
spk_0
I'm seeing Marvel.
spk_0
I'm seeing Ghostbusters.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
All this stuff, I guess, has already come out.
spk_0
So that's what happens on that day.
spk_0
I'm very interested to see how this does.
spk_0
I'm very curious as well.
spk_0
Could we will?
spk_0
Well, we are, like I said, TCG player and I had a conversation over the last week and just trying to pull in some of their experts to come on and talk more about like pricing,
spk_0
but also talk about like the card, the gameplay that itself.
spk_0
And so we're working on getting some guys on here who know a lot more about this, who can speak very confidently about it.
spk_0
But that's what you need to know is the drop is on October 13th.
spk_0
I would say that the for sure, the office for sure, like if they're going to do that Marvel drop that same day, because there's more marvel coming.
spk_0
And probably, you know, some of these other bigger IPs.
spk_0
I'm curious if like Iron Maiden has a fandom.
spk_0
If if Furby has the fandom, I don't know.
spk_0
Well, like it's not just the fandom, but it's a fandom that crosses over into cards as well, right?
spk_0
Because that's like a, you got like the people who enjoy just the thing.
spk_0
And then now you got to whittle it down to, okay, they enjoy this thing, but now they also need to enjoy cards as well.
spk_0
So something that we look, I look for as a reseller picker, a gride seller.
spk_0
If I can find a Furby, it's an easy $100 bill all day long.
spk_0
Really?
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
So people is still out there buying Furbies.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
So I'm really curious.
spk_0
Next time you talk to Mike, if he is aware, because I know he's a big office fella.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
If he would want to pick up any of these cards, because he is a car guy.
spk_0
He is an office guy, but he's not a non sports guy.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
I'm interested enough to hear what his perspective is.
spk_0
Oh, there's Star Trek too, by the way.
spk_0
Sorry.
spk_0
Oh, I think not a big Star Trek fan.
spk_0
Actually, I don't think that's a secret layer one though.
spk_0
I think that's maybe an actual magic gathering set versus Star Trek.
spk_0
But I want to ask him that myself, but there you go.
spk_0
There's a few of the things that are coming out here shortly for the MTG universe.
spk_0
Let's do.
spk_0
Let's talk about fake slabs.
spk_0
Oh, man.
spk_0
Because I don't know if my algorithm, because it keeps seeing these videos.
spk_0
And I'm getting a little scared, Jesse.
spk_0
Well, and I saw the big one that came out was the sports card investor, Jeff in his team.
spk_0
I guess the radish.
spk_0
Oh, his friend.
spk_0
I have no problem with Jeff.
spk_0
I he's actually a very nice guy.
spk_0
And I like how he does things in business.
spk_0
So I have no problem with saying, yes, we're best friends.
spk_0
We talk once a year.
spk_0
I'm just giving you a hard time.
spk_0
But I love every conversation.
spk_0
That being said, I need to address this because it feels scary to me.
spk_0
Like you said, it's like it's a concerning thing.
spk_0
What they found was they were at a cart show and there were people who had cards listed
spk_0
for sale that were fake proxies.
spk_0
They were proxies.
spk_0
Now what I found, I did watch the whole YouTube video.
spk_0
You did operation.
spk_0
I did.
spk_0
I actually watched the thing too.
spk_0
And I found the proxy thing very interesting because proxies, if you don't know, are more
spk_0
acceptable in the world of MTG and other maybe TCGs where a card becomes so expensive.
spk_0
But the gameplay is still very useful that instead of actually buying the card,
spk_0
they'll get a proxy or a fake card.
spk_0
And there are some tournaments where they allow them to use those cards in gameplay.
spk_0
So it's like, hey, I want to use that card.
spk_0
I can't afford the $1,000 or whatever the collectors are paying for it now.
spk_0
But I can use this fake one and it's okay with everybody.
spk_0
That is where I can kind of be okay with like there being a fake version of this card,
spk_0
where I'm not okay with it.
spk_0
Is it being in a graded holder?
spk_0
Because why would anybody ever actually need that?
spk_0
Exactly.
spk_0
That's how they were selling these.
spk_0
But they were also selling the proxy card at a proxy price.
spk_0
Exactly.
spk_0
It was.
spk_0
But so there was there was some transparency there.
spk_0
But what's scary into your point is the next step.
spk_0
What is the next step after that person purchases the proxy card already in the slab?
spk_0
I completely agree because I short this guy has it listed perfectly corrected.
spk_0
Says proxy on there and it has a price that is acceptable for a proxy.
spk_0
But the guy who buys it could turn around and easily try and sell that to a kid or a novice
spk_0
and it would be convincing enough for someone who doesn't know because it's already in the slab.
spk_0
It's in a slab that says PSA.
spk_0
That's what these specifically were.
spk_0
They were these fake PSA slabs that had a piece of PSA label in there that showed the grade in there.
spk_0
It was not real, but the holograms were real enough that it could be convincing to someone who doesn't know novice.
spk_0
Now that was one issue, but there was the other issue that they talked about where they were actually
spk_0
some cards that someone had bought and found out that the card was real.
spk_0
But the grade that was associated with that card, it was a PSA grade.
spk_0
That grade was fake and what they did was they actually cracked open a say, for example,
spk_0
let's say there was a haunchu Pikachu that was a PSA 10.
spk_0
They cracked open that haunchu Pikachu.
spk_0
They took the label for a 10.
spk_0
They took a fake slab that looked like a PSA one and they put that label in there with a real
spk_0
ponchu Pikachu card, but not one that would be graded at a 10.
spk_0
It would be graded at maybe a five or six or something.
spk_0
spk_0
Not too dinged up to make you completely question it, but they put it in there with this real label
spk_0
in a real card making you think, oh, I just bought this 10.
spk_0
When in fact, you just bought a five and you may have spent double triple or more the money that
spk_0
it actually would have been worth.
spk_0
And you're doing your due diligence by looking up the certain number.
spk_0
Yeah, the search is real.
spk_0
Running the black light over it and seeing all the holograms because the label is the label's legit,
spk_0
right? So it's getting scary out there.
spk_0
Well, and I find it interesting that this is something that you can't really fix without PSA
spk_0
or other grading companies making some changes because I feel like you have to,
spk_0
I feel like my initial thought was, well, you have to make the label where you can't just
spk_0
crack it out and take that piece of paper. It needs to be glued in there or if you open it,
spk_0
it tears the pieces or whatever the case may be, that label should not be able to be moved or
spk_0
touched without there being some defining difference in it if you were to crack it open.
spk_0
That's my personal thought.
spk_0
What do you think they can do?
spk_0
Well, but the only thing is you fix that issue. But then it's like, oh, well,
spk_0
there's still the people who are going to take the card and print a fake label.
spk_0
And we just talked about how those fake labels were having holograms. They are looking more and
spk_0
more real to the point where it's like, well, the security factors that PSA is built in,
spk_0
which I'm very glad that they have and other people are building in to their grades.
spk_0
It's maybe not good enough yet to where it can't also be faked.
spk_0
And that's where it's definitely getting scarier.
spk_0
Because yeah, I don't know. Maybe the card is real, but it doesn't help me if I just
spk_0
spent the money for a 10 when I really got a five or six.
spk_0
So it's scary.
spk_0
And to make matters worse,
spk_0
GameStop is selling blank cases like a graded card case that you can purchase at GameStop.
spk_0
Do you have the picture of it? Do you know who makes the case?
spk_0
You sent me the, it was like a real or maybe it was just a picture of it.
spk_0
I think I sent you a real. But the fact that GameStop would make a graded case.
spk_0
I want to say it was like a GameStop, like third party only to GameStop.
spk_0
Okay. But it was, it did seem to have, I thought it had GameStop like writing on there too.
spk_0
So, but maybe it didn't, but either way, GameStop is selling these slabs that you can put in
spk_0
your own card and your own label and close it up. And it's like, oh, I have my own custom card.
spk_0
Well, you could do that. Or if you're in nefarious, you could take a card, real or fake and put it
spk_0
in there with a fake, say labeled and you can, GameStop branded premium card case with a label
spk_0
selection for $3.99. So you've got this card case that again, if you know a lot about
spk_0
GSA slabs or you know a lot about this hobby, you might be able to tell, hey, that doesn't
spk_0
have the same feel. It doesn't have the exact same look. But if you're a kid or you're newer to this
spk_0
hobby, it looks close enough to the real thing to be very confusing and or deceptive to a point
spk_0
where you're going to get taken advantage of. And I do not, yeah, I don't care for the fact that
spk_0
that is out there. I wish if you're going to do that, have something like printed into it that says,
spk_0
you know, GameStop on there or it has some defining characteristic that anyone could tell, like,
spk_0
if I put a PSA piece of paper in there, make it like blue. Yeah, make something different on
spk_0
there to where it's like not as easily confused with a PSA or other rating coming because I think
spk_0
PSA would be the closest to what that looks like to me. It doesn't look like an SGC one. It
spk_0
that is a very confusing. So what do you what do you think these grading companies can do?
spk_0
I know that tag etches theirs, laser etches theirs into the slab itself. Yeah, but again,
spk_0
if you crack and open if you're cracking open the slab, you can still do the same thing.
spk_0
Yeah. So it's like, what can you do? Is it going to look like like money now where it's like
spk_0
the design is so intricate? I just it's got to be all built in like the case itself has to have
spk_0
either some kind of security built into it or the label is built in with the case.
spk_0
It needs to be one cohesive piece now where you can like take the things you like from it and leave
spk_0
the stuff you don't like like, oh, I really want that label, the PSA label that's in there, but I don't
spk_0
like I don't need the case anymore. So I'm just going to take that out. You shouldn't be able to do
spk_0
that. Yeah. And then it's like, okay, well, what do you I think Jeff said on his show like RFID chips?
spk_0
I've talked about that before as far as like an RFID chip where you could actually have it in
spk_0
some high-end cards like the if you have really nice cards that you're manufacturing,
spk_0
maybe you could even put it in the card itself, but if you put it in the grade, the graded slab,
spk_0
I still don't I mean, I could see people being able to crack out that little RFID chip and
spk_0
putting it in another one too. So here's the thing. It's not an easy battle. It's an uphill
spk_0
battle for sure because fakes keep coming out and they're getting more savvy, but it means for you,
spk_0
the listener, the collector to become more aware of this yourself, be more diligent with your do
spk_0
diligence. Dilligence. Yeah. Yeah. That is a sentence. But be more cautious with anything that
spk_0
you're buying. And I here's what stinks. I feel like it does eventually if this gets more and
spk_0
more serious. It affects online sales too because. Oh, I agree. Because if I can't hold it and
spk_0
touch it and see it in person, like, how do I know for sure? Yes. So it is. Yeah, it's scary.
spk_0
And I think things need to be done sooner rather than that. PSA was supposed to make their
spk_0
slabs even better. I'm seeing videos of people opening up their slabs with a bottle opener.
spk_0
And not even like a not even like power tools or like a tile cutter legitimately, like with a
spk_0
bottle opener cracking open all four slides. Yeah. Perfectly sliding the card out. So hey,
spk_0
talking about this because we're like giving people ways to like don't do it. Well, here's the thing.
spk_0
If I have my card in a great it's lab, do I want it where I can never take that card out?
spk_0
Do you? Yeah. I mean, it's in the slab. You you want it where you could never what if the slab
spk_0
where or the grade that you got we're like, Oh, man, I think it could do better.
spk_0
I see what you're saying. Like what if I don't want it to always be in there? That's my problem
spk_0
because it's like they're they're part of me is like make it where you can't open it without
spk_0
destroying the card. Like that could be an option. However, maybe that could be a service that
spk_0
PSA can provide like you sapsulate this to the point where well encapsulate this to a point
spk_0
where you can't open it and only they can open it. So it's like for an extra $10 you can send
spk_0
in that card again. We can open it up and we can send you the raw copy. What would you think about
spk_0
the if they made it where it is? What is it with they'll they'll use like a acrylic or something
spk_0
like that where it's completely clear and it basically you're putting something in something
spk_0
permanently because if you ever try and take it out. Oh, yes. It would destroy it. And in my
spk_0
thing is, okay, well, the card is still there. It's still it's perfectly preserved. But it's in
spk_0
this cube. This cube of this Tesseract. Yeah. Whatever substance that keeps it safe from everybody.
spk_0
And anybody who sees it's like, oh, yeah, that's that would be heavy. That's a card. That's a heavy
spk_0
card. And then you know, it can't be that card can't be faked because at this point as well.
spk_0
Again, if you're not faking a PSA acrylic slapped card, I guess hopefully we we don't get to that
spk_0
point. But you have this card that is completely sealed off to the rest of the world. You'll never
spk_0
get it out. But you know, for sure, like, oh, well, that's what I wanted. I wanted it to be
spk_0
permanently in there. That's a great point, Jesse. I don't know what people would want. Like,
spk_0
I don't know if it's a demand though. Like right? Like who who's going to be like, well, what if
spk_0
PSA falls and like there's another king of cars, grading in the future and you want them to
spk_0
grade it. And now it's like, well, too bad. You had it permanently sealed in this cube of
spk_0
25 pounds of acrylic. Yeah. It's getting dicey out there, man. Yeah. That's why if you if you want to
spk_0
purchase something, I would legitimately, my advice would be purchase it from a rep, rep, rep
spk_0
the bull reputable, reputable seller. I keep saying acrylic. It's not that. I know what you're
spk_0
talking about though. What am I thinking? Yeah. I know what you're talking about. So
spk_0
I would purchase from someone that you've already done business with and an online
spk_0
do business with the reputable seller like our good friends over at DC Sports.
spk_0
A. You said wow, what a sale and a plug. Actually, I've been to I'm glad you said it now because
spk_0
so DC Sports is doing a thing. They've got a special going tonight with the partner, our sister
spk_0
company over at SCN. They've got a big break going on on Monday, but it doesn't matter to you
spk_0
listeners because you're not even going to hear this in time. What you need to know though
spk_0
is that they are if you are breaking with your boy Sportsboy on finance life, they are doing a 95
spk_0
percent minimum payout on Disney card. So anything that you can sign from the breaks with me.
spk_0
Now I did clarify this is not for just any Disney. If you break tops, if you,
spk_0
well, if you break that Disney with me, okay, and actually mama breaks, but I don't want to,
spk_0
well, I love Stephanie. I'm a friend of the show. I'd rather you talk about this over here.
spk_0
But yeah, if you do that through us, then they're paying out a 95 percent minimum on your payout.
spk_0
So DC Sports can't say enough good things about them, but that is a very nice plug. What about
spk_0
seal? Yeah, we got to talk about that sealed in. It's not a I don't think it's acrylic.
spk_0
What acrylic is like something you paint with or something, right? It's like a Namo or whatever,
spk_0
like the epoxy. Oh, epoxy. That's got to be it, right? A resin. Resin.
spk_0
Resin. And epoxy resin. Okay. I think that's what it is. Guys, go back and re-listen to that
spk_0
whole PSA thing. No, we're trying to say whatever I did say. It's epoxy resin. That's the real name.
spk_0
All right. WWE finest is very popular right now. It's interesting to see what your favorite
spk_0
wrestling catchphrase of all time, Jesse. I don't know. I don't know any. Like what comes
spk_0
all with the rock is cooking. Do I know any others? I don't know. Give me what's a very popular one.
spk_0
What was Hulk Hogan's whole Chameleon brother? Hulk Hamania. Is that what he would say?
spk_0
You would be like each your you know, each of veggies, take your vitamins, say your prayers. See,
spk_0
this is why Ray is going to be the main guy and I'm going to be there backing him up on this
spk_0
break on Friday because he knows much more about the WWE world. That's not my wheelhouse.
spk_0
This is going to be the first of many more, but he's going to run this one. I am very curious to
spk_0
see what your thoughts are after seeing the checklist. It took a little bit for that checklist to
spk_0
come out. Now that you've seen that, what are your overall thoughts? I like the checklist. Okay.
spk_0
I like all the wrestlers. I know there was a little bit of controversy over this product because
spk_0
it's late. Yes. Because one of the one of the wrestlers that was supposed to be in this
spk_0
was supposed to have their first ever rookie card is not in this and was taken out. Why? What?
spk_0
I don't know. And that's our good friend, Logan Paul. Whoa. So there was some legalities
spk_0
over his card because this was going to be his first ever WWE card in a product. And that's why
spk_0
it was like pushed back because they had to take all those cards out and they replaced them with
spk_0
a couple like a person from NXT. I can't remember who it was. Wait, wait, wait. So he's actually not
spk_0
in this. He is not in this process because they even advertise it. Yeah. As he has a picture of his
spk_0
card like Beckett. There's a Beckett article that talks about this and he is shown there.
spk_0
Correct. He's not. He is not. If you look at the checklist. Yeah. There is no Logan Paul
spk_0
to be found. Wow. There is. Okay. Well, that's very interesting. So Logan Paul is not going to be
spk_0
in this product. But pretty much everybody else is is that my understanding? Correct. Yeah. All the
spk_0
ones that they put in the checklist. So we've got big names such as I assume the rock is in the
spk_0
rock is in this. John Cena. John Cena. Well, I already saw the John Cena. John Cena. One of the
spk_0
John Cena. One of one's got pulled by Stephanie on opening day. Oh, really? You got to say there's
spk_0
a little bit more than one. Yeah. Exactly. Let's see. There's autographs. I'm looking down the list.
spk_0
Hulk Hogan is in here. Let's see. Mick Foley, Becky Lynch, the rock, as mentioned, Stone cult Steve
spk_0
Austin, triple H Tiffany Stratton undertaker, Ray Mysterio. So obviously some big names in the
spk_0
Brett Hitman heart. Didn't you say you got into a break yourself? I did. I got into the break over
spk_0
this weekend. Just kind of get a feel over the product. What the product and what it what it's
spk_0
offering. I got into one of my favorite wrestlers, the American nightmare Cody Rhodes. I think I
spk_0
paid 125 for the spot. And I was able to get a redemption card out of 75 autograph. That's
spk_0
awesome. Which I don't know because a lot of the wrestlers with what they're doing is they're not
spk_0
only are they writing autographs on the cards, but they're actually doing like an inscription.
spk_0
So I was going to ask you have you seen that because I meant to mention that when we were talking
spk_0
about Disney, that was the other thing that's come out that like there was a buzz light year that
spk_0
said like I think to infinity and beyond. And then there was like one from John Goodman as
spk_0
Sully like saying, you know, I'm not going to scare you or something like that. Like I love that
spk_0
there are these big new names to signing cards are putting these inscriptions on there. And I've
spk_0
noticed that in past products of WWE. So you're saying you've seen them continuing to do that.
spk_0
Correct. Correct. There's one for sure. Chelsea Green has one. She I'm looking at it right now.
spk_0
Ledger allegiance, which is kind of like a little bit of her gimmick. She has an
spk_0
inscription of a one of one superfactor on one of her autographs. There's a rock master's out of
spk_0
25. He's got a know your role and shut your mouth inscription on there. And the
spk_0
there's a step Stephanie McMahon, Queen of Queens. There is a triple H one. This is King of Kings.
spk_0
And there's a dual auto, which is dude. If I can pull this dual auto, the Stephanie McMahon,
spk_0
triple H dual auto. There's a triple H heartbreak kid dual auto, Randy Orton, triple H dual auto.
spk_0
I mean, there's a lot of really nice stuff in here. We got Stone Cold Steve Austin and
spk_0
signing autographs in the here. My one of my favorites, Rhea Ripley with a mommy is always on top
spk_0
inscription on her auto. This is a great I think this is a great product. I'm super excited to
spk_0
open this, especially with you Jesse. So we can learn a little little sum sum about professional
spk_0
wrestling with my boy sports boy. After you told me a little bit more about some of the previous
spk_0
years of W. Well, I guess it's more W. F. Before I was right W. I am kind of shocked about some of
spk_0
the things that you had to. But yes, wait until I tell you about Valvenous. Oh, is that even more
spk_0
controversial than what was the character that the godfather, the godfather character man.
spk_0
Here's the thing. I don't even feel like we can really talk about. We can't. That's what I'm talking
spk_0
about. But yeah, if you're ever curious, I guess look that character up. Actually, don't, don't
spk_0
even do it. So WWE Finis, that'll be very interesting. So yeah, it's a busy, like I said, busy week.
spk_0
I just want to I want to be able to pull a superfactor. Dude, I would love especially the fact
spk_0
that we have one case if you pull a superfactor out of that. Oh man. Yeah, that's going to be
spk_0
crazy. That what are the what are the odds going to be? But there's a it's a huge checklist though
spk_0
overall, right? There's a lot of people in that. We got to figure out how we're going to rip that.
spk_0
We'll have breaks listed. I would say by hopefully tomorrow. Okay. Friday. I know I keep here in
spk_0
rumblings at the next WWE WWE set coming out. The new one. Yeah, which I can't remember the name
spk_0
of it. But in that set, they're going to have the WrestleMania debut patches. Oh, that's the one
spk_0
that I'm out. Oh, I wonder what they're going to call that because it comes out in like update
spk_0
chrome for baseball. So I'm wondering how they'll do. Oh, it's called something else. I can't
spk_0
remember. Okay. I looked at it this morning, but I couldn't remember what it was called. It should
spk_0
have written it down. Um, so yeah, that again is this Friday on Finax Live. Um, under the sports
spk_0
cards nonsense channel. Yeah, you'll have the hobby nonsense guys breaking it. Um, mega
spk_0
evolutions was also released since our last episode. Um, you were in line early at target to try and
spk_0
get some and those pissed off Jesse didn't go well. I mean, obviously using that kind of salty
spk_0
language over here. I know he is not having. Sorry. He is not having. So there was like at least
spk_0
25 to 30 people in line. And I've always had great luck with um, buying things on, you know,
spk_0
buying things at target. Yeah. Target opens at eight o'clock. Um, they usually hold the stuff
spk_0
until release day when there's a big release. I'm thinking, okay, I'm going to go in there. I'm
spk_0
going to grab a E.T.B. I'm going to grab, you know, some, some because they're releasing all the
spk_0
mega evolutions products all at once. The tens, the E.T.Bs, the single pack blisters, like all that
spk_0
stuff, right? Uh-huh. So I had a friend call me, um, early in the morning, he was already waiting
spk_0
in line at GameStop. And the city next over because for some reason our GameStop is gone. That's
spk_0
R.I.P. Yeah, it doesn't make sense, but okay. R.I.P. So he was there by seven. There was already 20
spk_0
people waiting in line at GameStop and they didn't open up till 10 in the morning. That's so great.
spk_0
Which is insane. Yeah. But, uh, you at the GameStop, you were able to get booster boxes, which was
spk_0
great. But I did end up hitting on the Pokemon Center. So when I got home, I had my little package,
spk_0
my booster box, my two E.T.B. So that went straight into the seal collection. But while waiting
spk_0
in line at Target, all 30 something of us, we finally get in and there's a limit to per person
spk_0
and the only thing they had were single sleeve boosters. That is so I waited in line for at least
spk_0
30 minutes to get two packs of Pokemon cards. Did you, when you were there, did you see a lot of
spk_0
product? Just this. I got me like, but did you see like there was a ton of them or was it just like
spk_0
it was just like a display? Yeah. You know how they have like the displays and they have like
spk_0
boosters? Sure. Yeah. It was the display, which they just opened up the box and started selling
spk_0
the boosters out of it. Man, I wonder. So like the shipper. Yeah. And I asked the lady, I was like,
spk_0
what are you going to do with the shipper when you get done? They're like, oh, we have to like
spk_0
keep it. And I was like, can I have it? And they're like, no, you have to. Or yeah, because I ended
spk_0
up getting one from the dollar store, which you come over, you'll be able to see live in in the
spk_0
flesh, which I would hang these. But so here's a question you brought to them to the office. Are you
spk_0
keeping these? Or what we're going to open them up? Are we live here? Oh, but we'll film a little
spk_0
content for us opening them up. And then we'll see if we can pull which the hits out of them.
spk_0
You know, yeah, the big hits are the two gold cards currently. The Lucario is going for a little
spk_0
bit more than the guard of war. I believe it's a, let's see, the guard of war is going like
spk_0
four hundred and four hundred and ninety two, the Lucario five thirty five. Yeah. And then you
spk_0
have the mega Lucario EX for two eighty. The mega Lucario special illustration rare for two seventy
spk_0
nine and then the mega Venus or EX special illustration rare for two sixteen. Where's the big
spk_0
charizard? That's in the next set. That's a fantastic flame. Hasmo flames. Okay. I was like, now and
spk_0
you sent me something about this, the Mars shadow. Yes. So the Mars shadow, which is just an
spk_0
illustration rare. I really love the art one for six out of one thirty two card one four six out of
spk_0
and this does have a Pikachu in the card technically. Is that what make it? Is that what you think
spk_0
is making a more popular? I think so too. Because I love the artwork and then the Pikachu and oh,
spk_0
and it was like part of another card. Correct. It was part of the artist that did this card or
spk_0
drew this card. Excuse me. Illustrated the card. Also illustrated a card in the past out of the
spk_0
cosmic eclipse set. Yeah. Same scene. But in a different angle. Different angle.
spk_0
Different. It was like a full art card either or an SIO. Yeah. It was just a regular card. So this
spk_0
is kind of cool that now that he was able to do a full art card. Yeah. Did the same scene and
spk_0
I think it looks great. This is actually one of my top one of my chases before
spk_0
it's getting market manipulated. It's currently like a $76 card and it's only it's gone down a little bit.
spk_0
But it was what 30 it was going for like what 40 to 40 dollars and now at the top of the market it
spk_0
was a $92 card. Within the last day or so it went up that much. Yeah. But here's the thing. Is
spk_0
it market manipulated or is it because there's people that now know that it's popular and now they're
spk_0
like, oh, well someone thinks this is going to be popular. I don't want to miss out. I'm going to go
spk_0
and buy this card right now before it shoots to the hundreds. I think people just overlook it
spk_0
because of the hype of everything else. Once because one stuff starts settling down. Yeah. You
spk_0
kind of like look at the set as a whole and you're like, wow, this card actually is really nice
spk_0
and it gets overlooked and then that's when people start buying it. I'm wondering. I talk a lot
spk_0
about that on our YouTube channel which you know like underrated cards, things to look out for
spk_0
all that stuff. Okay. And the future and that's what's happening right now with a lot of mid-modern
spk_0
sets. People are going back and looking at wow, these cards are actually really good and they go
spk_0
back and purchase them and you can do that currently right now with the current sets, the
spk_0
ultra modern ones and just make sure that like there's a litle of card. It's currently $4. I
spk_0
think it looks amazing. Market manipulated. That one's about the job. I'm just saying. That
spk_0
one's about the $5 card. It's a nice little lion cat cub. It's pretty cute. It's like on a city
spk_0
alley or something like that. Yeah. So that card's going up by it right now. By it right now.
spk_0
Well, you buy it first and then they can buy it. Actually, there's another card that's like
spk_0
in a similar setting for gum shoe that's selling for like 26. Gum shoe. You talking about the
spk_0
Donald Trump card. Oh, it does look like that. That's it. It's here. That's funny. Yeah. So
spk_0
that's mega evolution is going to be very interesting. I love the artwork in it. I actually
spk_0
I'm kind of like a big fan of this one. It's the first one. I think I've been a big fan
spk_0
of since prismatic. Interesting. How come? I don't know. I think the art appeals to me. That's
spk_0
typically what appeal to me. Like a very bold. Yeah. I love the prismatic because I like like the
spk_0
the rainbow effect. It was like a little different. Okay. But this one like the artist very bold.
spk_0
The colors are very deep. I don't know. It jumps out at me more so than maybe some of the other
spk_0
ones. Gotcha. Gold ones. Don't do it for me. Like in any I got to see it in person. Oh, okay. Yeah.
spk_0
Okay. So the and then I'm curious to see what these full art regular cards look like in person.
spk_0
Because if it has texture and it just I want to see them in person. Because in person,
spk_0
they look way different than what you would see. Literally like on on the website or whatever.
spk_0
But the best gold cards ever in my opinion are the ones from Crown Zena. And it's not just
spk_0
literally like a gold card. The gold Pikachu looked awesome to me in Crown Zena. Is that?
spk_0
Oh, wait. No, no. Yeah. Is it? Isn't he like does he have got like the rainbow crown or something
spk_0
like that? Is that not Crown Zena? That was um, surging sparks. Surging sparks. That's what I'm
spk_0
thinking of. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Never mind. I'll show you the Crown Zena cards. Okay. When
spk_0
we get off. I'd be curious to see what that looks like. So anyways, mega evolutions. That's out.
spk_0
Raise got some content that is making for it. Um, I'm excited to see what's in these two packs
spk_0
right here. Which you'll have to tune into YouTube's and other social media. We'll probably do a
spk_0
little real or a little short. Oh, there you go. So yeah, check that out. Um, I'm sure we'll have
spk_0
some more YouTube content coming up, which is awesome. I don't know if you notice. I think we're
spk_0
about to be monetized. We're very close. This would be fun. I think after this Disney chrome video that
spk_0
we just put out, which you guys can win a out of 150 Fantasia Mickey Mouse. Go, go watch that.
spk_0
We'll watch it. Subscribe and comment what your favorite Disney movie is. By the way,
spk_0
you know what I watched last night? Goofy movie. Did you really? Yeah. Me and my daughter watched it.
spk_0
Did she like it? She'd seen it before. So very like like a father. Now that you're like father. Yeah.
spk_0
Yeah. I mean, you know, you associate a little more with goofy. I do. Very much so. It is
spk_0
interesting. How I just want to go fishing with my daughter. Yeah. I'm like Max is a brat.
spk_0
Yeah. What do you do? Stop. Like he's trying to take you on a trip across the country.
spk_0
Now, have you seen the documentary? Oh, I haven't seen a documentary on this video.
spk_0
There's a documentary on Disney plus. The voice actors driving across country. Was that part
spk_0
of it or no? Was that something different? I think it was like Jim part of it. Yes.
spk_0
In the guy who did Max's voice. Yes. I did see that. That was actually pretty cool.
spk_0
So watch the documentary, which did you ever watch the show ATL or Atlanta with Donald Glover?
spk_0
Yeah. Childs can't be no. Yeah. They did an episode of a mockumentary of a goofy movie.
spk_0
No, they did not. Dude, really? Like the whole episode was that.
spk_0
Yeah. Donald Glover as an actor. I like some of his music, but he's just such a creative person.
spk_0
Yeah. That's very cool. There's one other thing I did want to throw out there too.
spk_0
This I say too much. I'm sorry. Now that I've said it out loud, you're going to notice it's also.
spk_0
I say you know a lot. I'm officially going to stop doing that. What is that called?
spk_0
A word wicker? Is that what it is? I don't know. That's what I call it.
spk_0
Fill our words. Fill our words. I say you know a lot. You say uh. I say uh.
spk_0
Well, here's the thing. I have other ones, but I'm not going to say them because as soon as you
spk_0
acknowledge them, if the people didn't notice, that's all they'll notice. Okay.
spk_0
So, uh, and I retract anything I've said previously. Star Wars Galaxy is what I wanted to
spk_0
talk about because it's one of my favorite Star Wars products that comes out each year.
spk_0
When is that dropping? Well, there is a pre-order. Again, this I hate this because
spk_0
I'm telling about it now because I just found out about it. Just now. I found out about it.
spk_0
Spraking news over the weekend. Oh, okay. Can I still do the breaking news music?
spk_0
Yeah, go ahead. Breaking news.
spk_0
Dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun. Was that the music? Just sounded more like a
spk_0
gin-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun. Oh, yeah. Maybe. Either way, I'm I'm I'm happy with it.
spk_0
Thanks for filling making me feel terrible.
spk_0
So, uh, as Ray pointed out, the breaking news is that Star Wars Galaxy pre-orders are going to begin
spk_0
this Tuesday at 12 p.m. Eastern time. Now, that's what stinks is that this pod doesn't come out
spk_0
until a few hours after that, typically on Tuesday. So, I hate that. I'll try and make a post about
spk_0
this on our socials just so you guys can see that this is happening. But Star Wars Galaxy is a very
spk_0
popular product. It's in fact, the card that set the record for I think highest sale of a Star Wars
spk_0
card at the National was a Star Wars Galaxy card from I believe 2021. It's got original art. It's very
spk_0
I don't know to me. It's very cool because of the different ways they're showing off these
spk_0
characters and their their battle scenes or abilities or just the the scenic areas because
spk_0
sometimes there'll just be scenes of iconic areas in the movies. I like it for a number of those
spk_0
reasons, but that being the case, it's also typically a little bit more expensive. So, I will be
spk_0
curious where this comes out at. I'm hoping it's a little more reasonable. I don't think you're
spk_0
we're not telling you like masterwork prices, but it is something to keep in mind that this will be
spk_0
a very popular product. So, it's probably not going to be like the low end of the cost of this product
spk_0
of Star Wars products. That being the case, I will definitely notify when we have more detail on
spk_0
that one. I have no other information other than the fact that there's a presale that happens on
spk_0
Tuesday. What do you like about this set? What do you like about Star Wars galaxies?
spk_0
Better than all the original art. Just original art. Yeah, that's what I had said a minute ago.
spk_0
I don't know if you heard it. I'm sorry. Here's the thing. I don't even mean to call you out for it,
spk_0
but we just like we already that we already talked about it. I was just like, well, now I have to,
spk_0
but that is exactly it though. It's original art that I really enjoy. There are autos in it that
spk_0
looks like some of the pictures show like the Jude Law auto will be in here. There's going to be
spk_0
a multi-auto with Jude Law as well with some of the other kids from Skeleton Crew, which I don't
spk_0
really need that. I don't care as much about it personally speaking, but that's cool. Why do they
spk_0
keep putting like acolyte Skeleton Crew like leave them out? I'm hoping going forward after this.
spk_0
We're not going to see as much of maybe some of the stranger or Skeleton Crew I think did get
spk_0
picked up maybe for another season. I think, but we already know acolyte was canceled. So it's like,
spk_0
I agree. I don't know. I don't know if we necessarily need more of those characters in here,
spk_0
but I wouldn't I don't even buy this product for the autos anyway. I buy it for just the
spk_0
artwork and the original art because that's your favorite part about this product. God, Ray,
spk_0
it's like you're reading my mind. How did you even know that? So anyways, that's it. That's and
spk_0
there's more to talk about. We have SpongeBob. SpongeBob comes on Wednesday. Dear Lord,
spk_0
SpongeBob comes out on Wednesday. I only got two cases of this. I did not get much and that's
spk_0
I was told like this is a very limited early release. I don't know how I'm doing the breaks. Like
spk_0
usually I would have the break listed by now because it's like five o'clock on on Monday and this
spk_0
breaks Wednesday morning. I normally would have a pick your character break listed. But everybody's
spk_0
going to want SpongeBob, right? They all want SpongeBob. And I don't know how to provide everybody
spk_0
satisfaction of getting that SpongeBob. So I may just end up doing it as like random packs. I don't
spk_0
know. Like auction off a pack? Well, not auction. I'd probably do like a set price. And then once the
spk_0
packs like, I don't know how I can't remember how you packs are in a box. But say it's like 12 or
spk_0
something. You sell all 12. And then once it's sold, you open the thing. I like to mix up the packs
spk_0
because in just in case there's like a pack order. I don't want that to play a factor. So
spk_0
mix up all the packs together. And then you take a stack and you just, you know, so whoever got
spk_0
pack you would sell like one pack like you say like, you said you had a case two cases. Yeah,
spk_0
two cases. So what is that? So I do buy the box. So it'd be like one box at a time. Okay.
spk_0
And just sell a pack. I think I, I may, I'm still trying to figure out if there's another way.
spk_0
But what I find interesting is I think it was so quicker than you would have to wait
spk_0
three hours to sell spots. Well, there's that. And I think this is kind of a similar boat
spk_0
that most breakers are in right now for this product. Cause I went on for an ax. Like there's
spk_0
multiple people have shows planned. But nobody, not a single one has this listed for anything other
spk_0
than a random pack. So I think other people are finding this to be a similar like,
spk_0
how do I, how would you keep track? Oh, that would be basically just putting me like the
spk_0
Mrs sports lady, put them in a team bag. And this is exactly number one sold number one sold
spk_0
number two sold number three. Exactly. Yeah. So we'll see exactly how that goes. But either way,
spk_0
spots will be listed at the latest by Tuesday tomorrow. And then we'll go live Wednesday.
spk_0
Then again, like I mentioned, Disney will be starting on Tuesday afternoon evening.
spk_0
And I will just continue to do that throughout the week until we finish and sell all four of the
spk_0
last cases. Um, then we've got finest on Friday. I think the finest, I think doom comes out,
spk_0
like maybe the following week, are you breaking doom? I, yeah, I think so. But that's also the,
spk_0
I think the day it comes out is the day I have my surgery. Actually, no, tell me I didn't do that.
spk_0
I think I purposely, uh, push this so that I, I didn't on the day I said because I didn't think
spk_0
anything was coming out. Never mind. I'm wrong. It does come out the day I have my surgery. So I don't
spk_0
know how I'm doing doing the doom one quite yet, but you are getting cases. There's cases of
spk_0
that coming in for the Dave Patista spot. Oh, you're a little Dave fan. Okay. I'll leave that
spk_0
animal. Um, that's, oh, there you go. Exactly. I guess coming from the WWE world. Um, but next Monday,
spk_0
and I'm starting to wonder if I said this on last episode. If I did, I apologize. We are going to
spk_0
have upper deck, uh, one of the create, well, not the creator of Batman, but the Batman product.
spk_0
One of the people behind this new Batman metal product that is coming out from upper deck.
spk_0
They're going to be coming on the show to talk more about it. Some of like the ideas behind
spk_0
how this product got created. Uh, it's looking like I'm not going to get any of this. Really? It's,
spk_0
how come I don't want to talk about it. It's, it's a whole thing of, um, politics may,
spk_0
have you not been politic in hell here? No, it's not even that. It's,
spk_0
upper deck run seems a little bit differently. They don't sell directly to breakers or anything.
spk_0
You have to have an LCS. Oh, um, if you have an LCS and you're not already buying, you know,
spk_0
regularly, then you may not be first in line when it comes to the more popular products that
spk_0
everybody wants, they're going to obviously probably sell that to the people that have bought
spk_0
every product that maybe wasn't as popular before. Which it does make sense. My LCS, I believe,
spk_0
does buy a good amount, but I don't know if they're buying as much, especially on the,
spk_0
on the non-sport side of things always. So that being the case, I don't think they were able to get,
spk_0
uh, don't any extra for your board. The product looks great. I know. And I,
spk_0
it looks fantastic. People have message inserts look fantastic. Very excited because it's got a lot
spk_0
of inserts that are in, you know, other like the Jumbalaya insert. Which is a why is a Jumbalaya?
spk_0
I don't know the backstory on it. Maybe that, you know what? When we have our guests on,
spk_0
for sure, next week, we'll ask them. I do love a good Jumbalaya. I mean, there's a reason why he's
spk_0
coming on for this product is because we finally get to talk about Jumbalaya. That's really the only
spk_0
reason. But um, next Monday will be a good show. I'm looking forward to that. I'm looking forward to
spk_0
two. Uh, that being the case. I think that's about it. We've hit everything. Please. Again, guys,
spk_0
all we ask if you don't mind giving us a follow, give us a positive review here there. Um,
spk_0
maybe liken some. Yeah. Put a review on their friends as well. You know what? What's something?
spk_0
We never asked. Put it, you know, share it to mom and them. Yeah, mom and them. Um,
spk_0
Granny down the street, give them the links. They say, Hey, I think you'd appreciate this. You like,
spk_0
uh, like, say, and yeah, and W. W. E. All of it. Batman's quarter talk.
spk_0
There was a, by the way, I meant to mention this. There was an upper deck product for ex,
spk_0
ex files that came out recently. Um, which I was a huge ex files guy. Did you see there was a
spk_0
ex files Lego set that's coming out? What? Yes. No, I did not. It looks awesome. Dang it. Um,
spk_0
now that sounds awesome. Uh, when I was going to mention was this ex files card did like,
spk_0
what was it? $3,300? It was, it's a one of one and it was a, it was signed by David
spk_0
and Covney, Julian Anderson and Mitch, uh, I don't know, Walter Skinner, the guy who played Skinner.
spk_0
It was signed by all three of them. That's amazing to me. I love it. It was called
spk_0
2225 upper deck ex files for government conspiracies is what the name of the product was. It was a
spk_0
trip. I'll predict you in the new one as well. The ex files product that that just came out that
spk_0
there's no one that just sold for 30, 200. But I've mentioned that just because it's like,
spk_0
well, an ex files product at this day in time selling for 3,300. That's actually pretty good. Like
spk_0
for a product that is, you know, maybe a little bit past the prime of ex files. Hey,
spk_0
you're still getting, you know, cards itself for that kind of amount. I was happy about it.
spk_0
So I wanted to mention it. Um, all right. That is about it. I think we'll go ahead and call it a
spk_0
show. Great episode. I have raised a fantastic episode. And we appreciate all you listeners out
spk_0
there, especially all those who reach out and say something about the show just in general. Just
spk_0
it's encouraging to both of us. So I just know how we're doing. Um, unless you don't think it's
spk_0
very good. Actually, you know, if you think it's not very good or we can fix something, I want to
spk_0
hear about it. I absolutely do because I want to fix it if we can. If it's like, get rid of that
spk_0
Jesse guy. Well, that's a deep subject. That's, I don't want to do that part. So we'll, we'll forget
spk_0
not that anyone would ever say that though. Obviously. Um, all right. That's it. I'm going to stop talking
spk_0
now. See you all. See you all. Goodbye.
