Will we be entertained? You certainly will be!

A rather HUGE experience this week as we open some of the Upper Deck Marvel Masterpieces XL cards. A controversial release, and this episode was recorded prior to Joe Jusko posting that he had ‘come to an agreement’ with UD. Nevertheless, we dig it – the art at this scale is vibrant and enormously impactful, deserving of the fresh perspective the larger format brings.

We get confused by the checklist, find out about Wesley’s secret midnight early box opening, and Josh gets rather excited.

Apologies for some of the audio/video glitches in this episode – we blame Zoom!

Joe Jusko gave us his blessing to use his intro to open the audio version of the podcast – you can as always find his wonderful work and posts here; https://www.instagram.com/juskoart/?hl=en

What happens when a major voice in the hobby burns out? Find out this week as we discuss Norrin’s recent break and generally have a good natter about the pressures of being ‘all in’ to Marvel cards in 2021. Ian swears a bit and reads inspirational quotes.

We are back baby! And we waste no time in getting into the scant details released so far about the return of Marvel Beginnings, added to Upper Deck’s slate for April 2022. We reminisce about what made the OG so great, and ponder the meagre clues in the set announcement. We also, as it turns out, spend a fair amount of time discussing one single image which (it later transpires) was part of the artwork for the original set. Madness? Probably - it’s been too long. Our ‘tasting notes’ – featuring any images and links we discuss - can be found via our Facebook page.

Here's the intel on 2022 Upper Deck Marvel Beginnings Volume 1;

This week we ask the question ‘What’s the entry point?’ for Marvel cards. With prices on the rise, how realistic is it to be collecting by buying sealed product? How much of a risk is 90’s sealed product? We talk about little Jimmy Jones from Bootstrap, Missouri, and hypothesise how he might get involved in the hobby in years to come. Then we talk EXIT plans, and collectors who have walked away from the hobby. Some thought provoking stuff – listen in and tell us YOUR views. Oh, also, Ian unleashes his inner Brony. Our ‘tasting notes’ – featuring any images and links we discuss - can be found via our Facebook page.

A fun All Hallows Eve chat this week about collecting and hunting strategically on e-Pack – and when your budget is set/finite, how to maximise what you pull. Very much a conversation starter – do reach out with any questions or experiences of how you’ve done this. Episode title could also have been “If you do spend, be strategic!”.

We did a LIVE episode on our Instagram feed – and we talk about the rabbit holes one goes down as a character collector; cards are shown, stickers are glimpsed and Norrin has an awesome pot plant. You can see this episode in all its visual glory here on our Instagram; https://www.instagram.com/p/CVk6EdKgFbe/- Please give us a follow! This episode is best viewed, however this audio is for all y’all who like to listen only. Note – this episode has NOT had any bleeping added for profanity so possibly NSFW if playing aloud.

We get kinda serious for a hot minute this week, and focus on collector experiences with overspending. There’s talk of how far is TOO far when it comes to pack prices for two thirds of the contents being digital, plus we talk FOMO, getting into debt and more. Huge thanks to all of the collectors who shared experiences and views with us for this episode, and we hope this episode can help if you’ve any financial issues related to buying cards.

We all make mistakes, but when card makers make mistakes, they can become collectors’ items in their own right. We’re thrilled to speak this week to Tommy Henderson, who collects the cards nobody loves – the errors, the weird variants, the obscure and the true WTF cards. Our ‘tasting notes’ – featuring any images and links we discuss - can be found via our Facebook page.

Here's the link to Tommy’s collection group on Facey; https://www.facebook.com/groups/761987264655828

Episode Intro – HUGE thanks to BOB BUDIANSKY, former Executive Editor and Special Projects Editor at Marvel Comics, for this week’s opener.
