(In an, at times, crazed and confused manner) Norrin and Ian round up a bonkers year in Marvel cards.  We discuss highlights, lowlights and thoughts on the hobby happenings of 2022 and look ahead to 2023; for our personal journey in the hobby and hopes for bigger things. We do get a little spicy, we do go on tangents - but hey, it wouldn’t be ‘us’ if we didn’t. And Erik... I’m sorry man, please forgive me but at least we know how to pronounce your surname now.  Remember - it’s our opinions and we’re just having fun, so have a great holidays, thanks for the support in 2022 and hoping everyone has a great 2023, enjoying collecting! Our ‘tasting notes’ - featuring any images and links we discuss - can be found via our Facebook page. ALSO - the video of us recording this is available on our YouTube channel here https://www.youtube.com/c/MarvelCardCollectorsPodcast

Best laid plans... and all that, as our guest this week stays firmly in the wings to be SEEN but not heard. So that’s for NEXT week, and in the meantime Ian shows off some new acquisitions and we open a pack of SDCC 2022 Marvel Studios cards, featuring some of the recent Disney+ shows. Did we get Lucky?

Rejoice - while we’ve had a rather barren year in terms of new releases from Upper Deck, there’s a whole host of great sets waiting in the wings and this week, we preview them. Alas, just us and nobody from UD this time but stay tuned for more from UD soon. New sets based on the Disney+ shows, new movie sets including The Eternals, and of course - Tony Perna manages to crash the party again.

Artist Jay Peteranetz joins us, from a variety of angles, to talk about his awesome work on Marvel sketch cards. Jay gets into the frustrations of sketch rejections, the perils of not securing your social media accounts and colour reproduction of original art. We spend time bigging up another artist (or two) and take a leisurely walk through Jay’s Spider-Verse sketches on his new Instagram account. Our ‘tasting notes’ - featuring any images and links we discuss - can be found via our Facebook page.

A small CGC Cards and Ian (the Hurricane, not the co-host) induced break, we’re back to talk about Norrin/Fausto/Sketch’s (delete as applicable) time at New York Comic Con, and to dive into a new batch of fresh collector questions. Ian also reveals a new Panini Spider-man 60thAnniversary sticker and card (Europe only baby) set, and one of us loses the power of speech by the end of it all. Our ‘tasting notes’ - featuring any images and links we discuss - can be found via our Facebook page.

Wooooo! This week a group of super nice Flair 2019 fans gather to discuss why they chase this set so hard, and what makes it special. Join Ian, Dennis, Ben and Marcus as we revisit what worked in the set, what didn’t work in the set, and how the photography of the cards is key to understanding how special some of the cards look in hand. Breakfast is ignored, hangovers cured and the pictures provided by Dennis will make anyone look at Flair 2019 in a whole new light... literally! Thanks to Dennis Goad, Marcus Cardwell and Benjamin Kraft for joining us this week and believe me – you’ll want to see our ‘tasting notes’, featuring LOVELY images that we discuss, on our Facebook page.

Renee Witterstaetter is a writer, colorist, agent and editor – and worked at Marvel Comics in the 1990’s, after a stint at DC and going on to work at Topps Comics. A comic industry professional and a lovely human - we spend time to honour The Queen, find out about games played at the Marvel Bullpen, hear how much fun Jackie Chan is and much more. There’s also a preview of Renee’s upcoming book and exhibition focused on George Washington in comics and pop culture. Our ‘tasting notes’, featuring any images and links we discuss, can be found via our Facebook page.
