Printing Plates; best thing since sliced bread? Or over-hyped? Norrin inspires us to talk about our view on them, plus Ian tells of his adventures with Marvel Black Diamond on e-Pack. Also, what was the best thing BEFORE sliced bread? This stuff keeps us awake at night folks. Our ‘tasting notes’ – featuring any images and links we discuss - can be found via our Facebook page.

The large collection of printing plates images are care of Andrew Moro from his share on Facebook.

Marvel Black Diamond! Genius product or warthog product? Our friend Brad Galli returns to guest review this super premium product from Upper Deck. Brad tells us how his hot streak played out, we discuss the set quality and give the set a rating (out of 10) - spoilers; Brad hails the set as ‘The best Marvel Cinematic Universe release that Upper Deck has ever put out – all killer and no filler!’ so put THAT on a poster!

Triple digits! 101 takes us into the third year of shows with our guest – artist George Vega. George has been in cards for longer than many and is probably the best kept secret you’ll wish you had discovered many sets back. We hear of George’s journey into Marvel cards, how Warren “The Godfather” Martineck mentored him, and adventures at card shows. There’s talk of getting into a Puerto Rican vibe and passionate defence of the Alien prequels. On this podcast, EVERYBODY can hear you scream. Thank you George for your passion and support, and a fun conversation! Our ‘tasting notes’ – featuring any images and links we discuss - can be found via our Facebook page.

FENWICK!!!! … is frequently heard shouted in the style of Shatner from Star Trek 2, in Norrin’s house at least. We finally catch long time card professional and sketch collector Jeff Fenwick for a fun chat about his collection, trends over his decades ‘in the biz’ and how Norrin is perhaps the only living person to ever pry a card from Jeff’s collection. Restraining orders are breached, Ian goes all ‘Lannndan’ and we even sneak in some graded card chat. Eel me baby!
