Description

In this episode, we ask if nostalgic merchandise is truly meaningful, or just a cash grab by companies and scalpers taking advantage of our soft spot for the past?

We dive into the world of nostalgia and collectibles, discussing everything from iconic brands like Adidas and their history to cherished childhood franchises like Pokemon and Power Rangers.

We explore how these items, though now sometimes virtual, hold sentimental value and how platforms like eBay have made buying and selling these collectibles more accessible.

The conversation touches on the intersection of physical and virtual collections, the economic aspects, and the role of nostalgia in today's culture.

Also Consider This is hosted by Alastair and Guo Feng.
