In this episode of Hobby Nonsense, Jesse and Ray kick things off with a hands-on review of the new VeeFriends Super Sticker product. They share why they like the cards, while also addressing why some retail customers aren’t happy—especially those whose preorders arrived after shops and breakers had already started ripping.

Next, they welcome Eric Wagenmaker of Reclaim Customs, who creates custom trading cards for athletes, celebrities, and even kids in little league. Eric shares how he got started, what’s driving the popularity of custom cards, and reveals some of the strangest requests he’s ever received—including one jaw-dropping order.

After the interview, the conversation turns to Japan, where a McDonald’s Pokémon pack promotion has collectors and flippers traveling hours and swarming stores to grab packs. The guys compare it to previous McDonald’s promotions and the downsides being seen.

Then it’s Marvel time with the release of Topps Marvel Mint—featuring a high-end Gambit insert and a nod to one of the Marvel Universe’s most infamous villains—and Marvel Sapphire, which could be the most expensive non-sport product of the year. But does the resale price actually justify it?
