Welcome to another episode of The Gavel Gang Podcast! 

In this episode we meet Thomas Francis-Duma, Comics Valuer & Grading Specialist at Ewbank's. Tom has been lucky enough to work with his passions since childhood; new and vintage Comic Books & collectibles, and has been specialising in this area for 20 years. 

John sits down with Duma to discuss why Comic Books are one of the most immersive forms of entertainment, how to bring your comics to auction, and they both try to resist the urge to sift through landfill to find 'the holy grail'.

This week Chris speaks about all things Pokémon with the former Wizards of the Coast UK Managing Director, Stephen Wilks. They also discuss some of the unique and valuable items that Steve has consigned to auction at Ewbank's and the fascinating stories behind them. 

Because Wizards of the Coast held the original license to print Pokémon cards in the late 90s and early 2000s, Steve has a rare insight into what it was like to work in the toys & games industry at the height of "Pokémania". Steve also talks about his experience at the London Card Show and how he feels about the Pokémon franchise today.

In this episode Alastair interviews Steve Oxenrider, who has accumulated what many deem to be the world's largest catalogue of 007 memorabilia to be sold by a Bond fan. 

After making the 'gut-wrenching' decision to consign over 32,000 items (including posters, lobby cards, standees and brochures) Steve kindly tells us why he decided that Ewbank's was his auctioneer of choice when it came to handling his lifelong collection. Steve also speaks of his hopes for not only his items' chances at auction, but the enduring legacy of the franchise that made him a fan in the first place.
