Marvel Platinum is here! Joining the podcast this week are Grant Sandground and TJ Shevlin from Upper Deck to give us the insider scoop on the set.

We hear about the set breakdown, the sheer scale of the checklist and how that translates to better pack odds and hit ratios.

Grant touches on 'parallel nervosa' feedback and shows us a whole lot of really cool looking cards. TJ talks about the Variant Cover and deepcut checklist inclusions - all in all, we had a blast!

The set releases 13 March 2024 and as ever, huge thanks to Grant and TJ for making the time to come and talk to us!

Here’s the link to that incredible Marvel Platinum checklist; https://gogts.net/2023-upper-deck-marvel-platinum-trading-cards/

We throwdown with Fleer Throwbacks ’89 this week as we review the set and discuss its reception.

Then we wade into the newly released checklist for Marvel Platinum, being released 13 March 2024.

And boy – we wade DEEP and we swim in its vastness.

Some great advance visuals to chew on (go to YouTube to see) and some gorgeous original art coming.

Bwahahahahahaaaaaaaaa! Behold fiends of the night, as we creep into the freakshow event of the Marvel card year; Fleer Ultra Midnight Sons from Upper Deck.

Was it a ghoulish experience? Are the cards horrific? Or did we gaily skip with light and love towards our review show? Hear what Ian, Wesley, Josh, Jason and Keith think.

And also… Falcon? Seriously Upper Deck guys? What gives…

Black Cat first appeared in Amazing Spider-Man issue 194 and that’s about all you need to know for why this episode is this episode. A giddy romp into all things Felicia as Wesley and Ian stroke each other’s collections from afar. Josh, Jason, and Keith look on in horror.

Big love to Tayler for the audio intro!

A great and potentially hot button topic this week – as we get into the concept of ‘card custodianship’; specially for limited number or 1/1 cards, where do the rights of the card owner to do with the card whatever they wish, meet the concept of being just a custodian of that card in its journey through our hobby world.

How do we protect it? Should we grade it? Should we get it signed? And what about sketch puzzles – should these siblings be separated? Some great thought starters and lots of subjectivity, with a dash of hobby etiquette sauce.

Big shout out to ‘FBooth’ for his conversation starter in MCCW.
