This week on Hobby Nonsense, Jesse and Ray break down a massive week across the non-sport hobby world.
They kick off with an update on Leaf’s $200K celebrity Polaroid purchase, revealing the new Leaf Photographic product — and why the rollout may leave some collectors wanting more. Then, they turn to VeeFriends’ Super Stickers Spectacular Series, a slick new release that looks incredible but raises a few concerns once you dig into the details.
Next up, they dive into the Topps Disney Sapphire and Disney Mint releases, both hitting the market this week. With four major Disney sets released in under two months, Jesse and Ray debate whether we’re seeing the rise of a Disney collecting boom or the first signs of buyer fatigue.
They also preview the upcoming Batman: The Animated Series release from Upper Deck — a nostalgia-packed set sure to excite 90s collectors. Finally, the guys dig into listener’s Mailbag questions including:
Whether collectibles could become a safe haven investment if the AI tech bubble bursts
And if it’s time to stop supporting GameStop after its Pokémon price hikes and focus on local card shops instead
From $200K Polaroids to Disney dominance and AI market strategy, this episode is packed with big news and even bigger questions.
