Tom Fleming, the OG artist from the Marvel Fleer Ultra sets, as well as many other fine works – joins Ian and guest host Donny Caltrider this week. We hear about Tom’s career, his WWE work and of course his start in comic work via DC and the Marvel. There are tales within of short deadlines, professionalism and the glory that is rainbow foiling. We review each piece in the new Fleer Ultra Avengers set from Upper Deck, and Tom also considers if sketch cards might be in his future, as we enjoy the company of one of the nicest creators in The Hobby. Episode ‘tasting notes’ - featuring any images and links we discuss - can be found via the podcast Facebook page.

Greg McLaughlin – host of the Star Wars themed ‘Rebel Case Card Podcast’ returns to guest host this week. Inspired by the recent State of the Hobby trilogy, Greg tells us how he’s reassessing his collecting focus, and how the connective tissue of Star Wars fandom is a constant source of inspiring content for his podcast (and collecting!). We reminisce over 80’s Marvel comics, ooh and aah over some lovely 90’s uncut promo sheets and generally chew the cud over how we feel about the card scene right now.

Don your bow ties, as Billy is back! A fun catch-up convo from the artist formerly known as Watch Me Open! Billy tells us what’s been happening for him since he took a sudden hard exit from the hobby last year, how his game show ‘Marvel On The Brain’ is making a triumphant return, and how Whatnot is his new jam. We open more packs of the European ‘Marvel Versus’ set from Panini, and Ian reviews the Ultra Pro 3 drawer organiser (both of which are best tried via our YouTube). There is also much confusion over whether Ian actually has a horse, or not. Episode ‘tasting notes’ - featuring any images and links we discuss - can be found via the podcast Facebook page. ALSO - the video of this recording this is available YouTube here https://www.youtube.com/c/MarvelCardCollectorsPodcast

LFG!!! A new reality dawns for the podcast, as this week my first guest host is Brad Galli, all round good egg, sports broadcaster and MCU fan. We review the latest release from Upper Deck – WandaVision. The first in a slew of Disney+ shows, and sets, to come out – we get into the cards, quality, set design and (long) odds for the big cards. We also then go brainstorming what would make a good MCU set hit. Please note that this was recorded before the e-Pack release was announced and live, so we do not get into the e-Pack pricing. Episode ‘tasting notes’ - featuring any images and links we discuss - can be found via the podcast Facebook page.

He’s FINALLY here! Find out what happens when TWO Black Cat collectors meet on a podcast, as we welcome Wesley Webb, aka WebbyVision. We talk a lot about character collecting, and Wesley comes armed with some great questions. Ian gets into plates, and Norrin gets all Dickensian. This episode was recorded December 2022, but got bumped due to life and shizzle. It’s also the last episode recording with Norrin as co-host.

The final part of our 2023 opening look at THE STATE OF THE HOBBY. This week, we asked the community about their collecting goals for 2023, and also what advice they’d have for newbies entering the hobby – think of it as a Cards 101 update, if you will. Ian speaks Vulcan, and we open some Lego. That’s how we roll. Our ‘tasting notes’ - featuring any images and links we discuss - can be found via our Facebook page.
