$25K Michael Rubin VeeFriends SuperFractor, Pokémon Burnout & Geeking Out on Whiskey Collecting
Manage episode 489300082 series 3636054
In this week’s episode, Jesse starts with some big hobby news: a VeeFriends Superfractor—ungraded—just sold for $25,000. Is that too high? Too low? Jesse weighs in on the significance of the sale and where it places VeeFriends in the larger card market.
Then, things get a little wild in the world of Pokémon overload. From Hershey’s Kisses with Pokémon wrappers to browser-based Pokémon catching to Happy Meals, toys, and cards—Jesse asks the real question: Is the Pokémon brand being stretched too far?
Next, it’s a quick update on the release of Topps Chrome Marvel, which has been well-received overall, but Jesse flags one glaring issue collectors are noticing.
To close the episode, Jesse is joined by Tim Fraser of The Whiskey Geeks podcast for a refreshing change of pace—collecting whiskey! They discuss:
Whiskey bottles with non-sport themes
What bottles pair perfectly with a night of box ripping or comic reading
Which bottles hold long-term value and which are just hype
Whether you're into Pokémon, Pop Century, or Pappy Van Winkle—this episode has something for collectors of all tastes.
