In this episode, Jesse is joined again by Ray Solorio to unpack some of the most buzzworthy topics in the non-sport and pop culture collecting world.

They kick things off with a look at the upcoming 2025 Topps Marvel release, discussing what makes it one of the biggest Marvel card sets ever—from the sheer volume of characters to a wide range of inserts and chases. Jesse shares why he’s especially excited about the Marvel Reflections original art cards and the Frank Miller sketch/autograph cards, and they both weigh in on what Topps could have done even better.

Next up is a surprising topic: Linkin Park’s new Topps Now cards—if only you can actually find them on the website.

Then, the conversation turns to Pokémon, as Jesse and Ray explore the most collectible sets in the Scarlet & Violet era, and break down why Black Bolt & White Flare could be one of the most anticipated releases yet.

Finally, they close the show with a look at one of the fastest-rising collectibles on the market—Pop Mart’s Labubu Blind Boxes. From Spongebob to Goofy plushies and collabs with Pharrell Williams, these designer toys are heating up in a big way, and Jesse and Ray break down why.
