In this Episode, Hank & Mick chat about the impact that high-profile Influencers have on the Hobby. We discuss how Gary Vee drops a video about 1930s Mickey Mouse cards, and hours later the prices run out of control. This year we have also had Logan Paul and his record setting sale of his Pikachu Illustrator. Do these Influencers really push the needle on prices and demand for these cards, or are some of these cards so low-pop, that the market can be controlled easily?
We also do a deep-dive into the explosion of Non-Sports cards. We chat about the recent Disney and Star Wars trading cards boom. Mick explains his nostalgia for Star Wars, and Hank is fascinated how some of these cards are 50+ years old, and they lie dormant for years... only to have a sudden price discovery seemingly out of nowhere.
