Xyon McKell, non de plume of Mike Inguagiato, joins us this week for a collector focus like no other.

Hear tails of Japanese Female Wrestling cards – a whole new world to this podcast, we were today years old when we discovered this fascinating new aspect of our shared hobby.

Mike tells how this intertwined with his love of sketch card art – and artists – and became the gateway drug leading him to Marvel cards, e-Pack, and beyond…

McKell on e-Pack became a hobby legend in Marvel Cards, and so we’re thrilled that he shared his story with us this week.

Ryan Beckner joins us this week for a great discussion on character collecting, and his attraction to the Marvel character Juggernaut.

We get into the breaker reality, the boundaries of our respective character collections, and the challenges obtaining items we still need.

Ryan talks about OAX and the supportive collectors he’s become friends with – and also what else he collects.

There’s also a game of ‘House on fire, what do you grab!?’ for funsies.

You can find Ryan on Instagram here https://www.instagram.com/supersized_ry/ and thank you Ryan for sharing your story with us.

As two superpowers battle it out for Olympic dominance, we sit down and talk cards.

Hear our initial thoughts on the new DC based UNBOUND set from Upper Deck!

Marvel at how we navigate the news of the first Topps original art Marvel set.

Stagger giddily as we open old OLD Upper Deck packs in search of Doom.

And so much more you’ll wish you’d watched the hockey instead.

The e-Pack platform from Upper Deck marked it’s 10-year anniversary on 28 January 2026.

To mark it – we talk e-Pack for almost 2 hours with our special guest – Ben Berry, admin of one of the largest (and best – we’re biased) Facebook groups devoted to e-Pack.

We chew on collector stories of highlights and lowlights, discuss the gambling aspect of it all, and possible platform advances into the next decade. Rip a pack while listening and hope for the DAH-DAH-DA-DA-DAH noise.

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?
