May 03, 2020 Ep. 53: Collector Isaac Salazar

He's seen his audience grow, but along with that, a positive connection with the SW community he didn't expect.

April 19, 2020 Ep. 51: Topps’ Journey of the Child set

Ahead of a traditional physical full set this fall, Topps has come out with this mini 32 complete card set that will be available in retail and hobby outlets highlighting moments of the Child from season 1.

Ashley Villers is a sketch card artist for Topps, who resides in Texas with her husband and their cats.

Ashley broke into the Topps Star Wars offerings with last year’s Journey to the Rise of Skywalker and The Women of Star Wars set is her second, but certainly not the last.
