About this episode

The episode discusses insights from the Topps Industry Conference and highlights significant card releases in the hobby.

Mike Gioseffi and Jesse Gibson are back from the Topps Industry Conference and joined by Jason Shepherd of Shep’s Cards to break down all the news out of Arizona, as well as one of the biggest release weeks in the hobby. They dive into the top takeaways from the conference, including what Topps revealed about the future of football products, the conversation around wax pricing, and what all of it means for collectors and shops. The episode also covers a packed product calendar, from Topps Chrome Football to Marvel Finest and Disney Neon, along with a bigger-picture discussion about hobby growth, market demand, and whether the release schedule is starting to feel too crowded. Later, they’re joined by Steve from Filthbomb Breaks to talk about Filthbomb’s expansion to eBay Live, why the platform is a major opportunity for singles, and the launch of Filthbomb’s first official sports break on eBay Live, Monday night at 6 pm ET.
