In this episode of Sports Cards & A Cup of Joe, we dive into the ultimate battle you didn't know you needed: Mickey Mantle vs. Mickey Mouse. What starts as a fun "apples vs. oranges" concept quickly turns into a powerful lesson on global recognition, card scarcity, and hidden opportunities in the hobby...

Why are vintage Mickey Mouse cards vastly more rare yet significantly cheaper than Mantle’s? What can PSA population reports reveal that most collectors overlook? And where could your next smart play in the market be hiding?

Whether you're team sports or team character, this episode will challenge how you think about value, demand, and what really makes a card worth collecting.
