Episode 36: Snuffing Out That Glimmer of Hope


Listen Later

While Marvel's presence on the Digicast was less than ideal, their content in the app during Wintercon was pretty good.  Not only did we get original art from Kevin-John, a Disney Master Artist, with a 500CC limited variant, but we also got a Laufman Original Art Venomized set with fairly involved mechanics.  All of that was in addition to the Cardio collection which seems to have mostly unused artwork on the cards and the free coins and Omnibus diamond packs every day led to a pretty fun and packed weekend.

The week after started okay, then the VIP card was Falcon, which is alright and makes sense for the show coming up, but was still a little disappointing for those who spend as much as they do in the apps.  Then new Inked, which was immediately reused art from one of the Modern Vintage sets.  Then Topps Now came on Wednesday and they managed to destroy the one recurring set that everyone loved by making both variants the exact same covers, AND 12 covers in a single week.  It really does amaze us how they take a set that all traders are completely happy with and manage to ruin it.  Traders are hoping that it's some sort of mistake, which is just the denial phase of grief.  When the same thing happens again next week, the pain and guilt will begin.  It's a shame that the hopes found during Wintercon almost immediately got destroyed less than a week later.

We also spend a few minutes talking about the ending of the latest episode of Wandavision in prep for the finale this week!
