$10K Sketch Card Sale Sparks Artist Backlash, Topps Chrome Labubu Doubles in Price & Quick Flips at Card Shows
Description
This week on Hobby Nonsense, Jesse welcomes Ray back from his trip and the duo dives into one of the busiest hobby weeks in recent memory!
They kick things off with the Topps Chrome Labubu release, which may be even more limited than expected — and has already doubled in price on the secondary market. From there, they share their experiences at The Nashional Card Show in Nashville, where Ray managed to make some quick flips and extra cash on the floor.
Next, the guys discuss one of the biggest headlines of the week — a $10,000 sketch card sale that’s sparked a debate among artists about fair compensation and how rising demand is reshaping the sketch market.
Then, they dig into Disney news, covering Disney Chrome Sapphire and Disney Mint, two premium releases following right on the heels of Disney Wonder and Chrome. With four major Disney products in less than two months, could collectors be hitting a buyer fatigue wall?
Finally, Ray responds to Clever Cuban Cards’ comments from the last episode about a Pokémon “bubble” — and explains why he believes we’re in a healthy market correction, not a collapse.
From Labubu hype to sketch card controversy and Disney oversaturation, this episode has it all.
