Our final (probably) episode of 2025 so we look back at the year.

Highlights, lowlights, discoveries, and observations abound, amidst many seasonal sound effects as Ian is joined by Wesley (taking time away from his Mall appearances), and Josh (fresh off a boat, no doubt).

We also look ahead a little to 2026, and take a peek at the incredible auto list for Topps Chrome Marvel Studios.

Happy Holidays one and all, and thanks for listening.

Okay, so no tigers in this episode – sorry – BUT we do have our review of Skybox Metal Universe Batman, so what more do you want?

QA issues? Check. Fab checklist? Check. Great artwork? Check. We get into it all.

Then, licence to spend on e-Pack as Jason and Ian get excited about the No Time To Die set just dropped on Upper Deck e-Pack.

We also get a little sidetracked by The Authority, who we’re assured will NOT break our legs. Look – just listen – it makes sense.

Donny Caltrider – writer, artist rep and all-round good egg joins us this week as we discuss Marvel x MTG. Donny (again) attempts toexplain the basics of MTG to Ian, but we also talk about the Universe Beyond line of Magic The Gathering cards, where other IP can come to play.

Marvel's Spider-Man – recently released – is one of those IP – and we discuss the set, the art, characters and how it interacts with the core MTG universe.

We gather again to talk about some hot button topics that we find fascinating, or that simply get our GOAT. It’s mainly the latter though,as we talk about bringing new hobby bros into the hobby, and also about the phenomenon know as ‘last comp’.

Much food for thought and general wisdom somewhere within the musings. We hope you enjoy and please do comment or DM your thoughts.

Collector Eugene Hu joins us this week in a long overdue third podcast appearance, to give his thoughts on where the Hobby is right now.

We talk about trends, about what non-sports can learn from sports, the National, Topps and Upper Deck, and a whole lot more.

It’s always a great conversation when Eugene comes to play, and this time is no different. Bang Bang indeed, Enjoy!

So… better late than never this week, as an episode that SHOULD have dropped on 24 July, during Dan Diego Comic Con – finally sees the light of day.

There’s discussion of when to call it a day on your collecting – when is enough, enough? The guys get into it like feral cats on a fallen goat, and we also get into the exclusives from Upper Deck available at SDCC (now available at an eBay near you…).

Plus, does Keith fart? Find out within.

Duty bound to remind you that Ian’s birthday celebrations continue asyou listen to this… 😊

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s Tony Sirianni from Upper Deck who is most welcome to the show this week to talk about the retail exclusive Fleer Brilliants Superman set.

Released as part of the Summer of Superman, Tony tells us all about the set, its creation, the shiny foils - and we find out what it REALLY takes to close the office to take the company to the movies.

Thank you to Upper Deck for the access as ThatCCPod continues to get you as close as you can get. #CollectTheBest #ListenToTheBest

A lazy river episode this week as Ian, Josh, and Jason muse over the set ‘buildability’ of the Topps Chrome set, gasp at the Superman racecar tie-in cards, and digress to talking about Wesley’s sweaty content videos. All this PLUS Fantastic Four’s First Steps into trading cards (see what we did  there?)

New shoes??? Yes – we’re back to our roots – with a wider remit to talk about not JUST Marvel cards.

Season 2 starts here…

This week we talk about the ‘why’ of the change and then get into it with Star wars autos, Upper Deck’s Halo set and … plane cards? Yes, plane - those flying things that take us places.
