Fanatics Fest Taking Place July 2026 A Good Or Disastrous Move?; New Ideas For Topps' Customer Appreciation Day; Discussing Hyung's Connection To Mets Rookie Pitcher Jonah Tong
Description
EPISODE 316 - Clark and Hyung open the show discussing the MLB debut of Jonah Tong, New York Mets rookie pitcher, who Hyung knows personally. They talk about his future potential as well as the hype surrounding both him as a player and in the hobby.
Then for Hobby Headlines, the guys first discuss their initial thoughts on Fanatics Fest moving to July in 2026 to coincide with the FIFA World Cup Finals. Is this move good or bad for Fanatics Fest especially with other big shows taking place during the same time period (including the National 10 days later.)
Next, they also talk about Topps' first Customer Appreciation Day with several activations happening at various retailers and MLB ballparks. Will the "perks" entice new people into the hobby?
Then they play a round of "Quiz Show" with 1 question about which player and TCG characters are in the top 5 for their cards being graded. Lastly, they end the show with their regular weekly segment called "Pick 1."
