UtiniIi!

Yub Nub time as Greg McLaughlin from The Rebel Base Card Podcast returns to talk about the current Star Wars card scene, and how the Topps/Fanatics era has been for Star Wars card collectors.

We talk about Topps frustration, the need to focus on retail, respecting the heritage of a hobby, and filling vintage holes. Plus – you can hear 1990’s Star Wars cards get opened!

Huge love to Greg for joining us this week, thank you for being our 250th Episode anchor! Oh, and ‘jonahtattoo’ – this one’s for you buddy.

Muggles rejoice! Exciting news for our friends at Upper Deck, with the news that they’re going to make Harry Potter cards.

We also talk some about Invincible, Topps Chrome Marvel Studios – and then get inspired by @stackingslabs on Instagram as we talk ‘boomerang’ cards – cards that leave you but make a return trip as you just can NOT live without them. What’s YOUR boomerang card?

Finally, we revisit a Marvel Annual Pack Wars legend.

The whole gang represent this episode, and it gets a little… juvenile. #sorrynotsorry

BUT despite all of this – we talk about how to store cards. Binders? Toploaders? Mags? Toploaders IN binders? Wut?

Lots of insights, lots of our recommendations on DO’s and DON’T’s – and some fun along the way.

Drop us a note about your best storage tips?

Our final (probably) episode of 2025 so we look back at the year.

Highlights, lowlights, discoveries, and observations abound, amidst many seasonal sound effects as Ian is joined by Wesley (taking time away from his Mall appearances), and Josh (fresh off a boat, no doubt).

We also look ahead a little to 2026, and take a peek at the incredible auto list for Topps Chrome Marvel Studios.

Happy Holidays one and all, and thanks for listening.

Okay, so no tigers in this episode – sorry – BUT we do have our review of Skybox Metal Universe Batman, so what more do you want?

QA issues? Check. Fab checklist? Check. Great artwork? Check. We get into it all.

Then, licence to spend on e-Pack as Jason and Ian get excited about the No Time To Die set just dropped on Upper Deck e-Pack.

We also get a little sidetracked by The Authority, who we’re assured will NOT break our legs. Look – just listen – it makes sense.

Donny Caltrider – writer, artist rep and all-round good egg joins us this week as we discuss Marvel x MTG. Donny (again) attempts toexplain the basics of MTG to Ian, but we also talk about the Universe Beyond line of Magic The Gathering cards, where other IP can come to play.

Marvel's Spider-Man – recently released – is one of those IP – and we discuss the set, the art, characters and how it interacts with the core MTG universe.

You can find Donny – and read his awesome articles – here; https://linktr.ee/donnycaltrider.

We gather again to talk about some hot button topics that we find fascinating, or that simply get our GOAT. It’s mainly the latter though,as we talk about bringing new hobby bros into the hobby, and also about the phenomenon know as ‘last comp’.

Much food for thought and general wisdom somewhere within the musings. We hope you enjoy and please do comment or DM your thoughts.
