In this episode, Jesse opens with a look into why Topps Chrome VeeFriends, the GaryVee-backed product, is seeing a massive surge—boxes have now 4-5x’d in value, and he shares his theory on what’s driving the demand.

Next, Jesse breaks down a troubling update about a fake autograph in last year’s Leaf Pop Century product and what it means for collectors chasing celebrity autos.

Then it’s on to the world of TCGs, as Evan Garrett of Dragon Fire Games joins to discuss what’s hot in the space and why. They dive into:

Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, Lorcana, Yu-Gi-Oh, and One Piece

Why competitive players are struggling to get product

Which TCGs are dominating right now

Whether Lorcana has long-term potential or is a fading trend

Later, Tory Hermens of DCSports87 joins to announce a new TCG community-focused consignment special and what sellers should know.

To wrap it up, Jesse questions his own take from the last episode—are we actually entering a new Junk Wax Era? Especially when multiple companies are now... making Pope trading cards.
