Ep 245: 429 Million Cards?! Is Topps Ushering in Junk Wax 2.0?
Description
We're back for a special Q&A, and the hobby is losing its mind over the new Topps NBA license. The main question on everyone's mind: Are we in Junk Wax 2.0?
We dive into a wild calculation that puts the new Topps flagship print run at a staggering 429 MILLION cards. Adz and Russell debate what this massive number means, whether a product can be "junk wax" but still have hyper-collectible chase cards (like the new "All Kings" insert), and how Topps' massive marketing push is taking the hobby mainstream.
We also answer your burning questions:
- Is Wemby a buy, hold, or sell right now?
- What new Topps inserts are the next "Downtown" or "Kaboom"?
- Should you bank on non-famous rookies or chase the superstars?
- Will your old, rare Panini cards (like Steph or LeBron rookies) lose their value?
This is a massive shift for the hobby. Listen in and find out what we think!
