On September 12, 2024, Topps and Disney announced a new deal that would kind of change some of the landscape of trading cards to go forward. To continue the conversation from part 1 of our two-part episode talking about the impact of this deal across many parts of the hobby, I welcome another trio of guests to the podcast.

Sal Barry, from the Puck Junk Podcast is a lifelong hockey card collector who has a lot of insight on the hobby and Upper Deck.

Rodney Roberts is a sketch artist who has done work for both Topps and Upper Deck and can be heard regularly on Meanwhile at the Podcast.

And Anthony King, who was on recently talking about D23, & ICCC who is also a super-fan and collector of Disney and Lucasfilm collectibles.

If you haven’t had a chance yet to listen to part one, make sure you check out episode 167.

Lots of news and notes that I wanted to get to before we get back to talking about the Topps/Disney agreement and Rebuilding the Galaxy.

Anthony King from Force Ghost Conversations returns to talk about his recent trip to the ICCC convention in Nashville and coming right back home to Hurricane Milton.

Greg Cass from eyeoncanon.com also returns to talk Star Wars Unlimited and Chrome.

Plus I go over the details of the recently announced 2024 Star Wars Galaxy Chrome from Topps which comes out later in October.

On September 12th Topps announced a new partnership with Disney to create physical cards for Disney, Pixar and Marvel globally starting in 2025. Currently Upper Deck has had some of those rights in the U.S.

Starting with Topps Finest X-Men ’97 in Q1 2025, it will be a new era for Marvel cards, as well as a larger number of IP’s under the Fanatics roof. Although the impact for Star Wars card collectors may not be seen, a lot of this change affects the hobby around us.

To help analyze the changes I invited Ian Taylor of the Marvel Card Collectors Podcast, Stephanie Garcia of Mamabreaks and sketch artist Michael Munshaw on for part one of a two part special on this new card landscape.
