Fresh off his trip to The National, Jesse sits down with Ray to share his experience hunting for non-sport cards at the largest card show in the world. Despite the continued rise of Pokémon and Topps Entertainment products, Jesse breaks down the surprising lack of non-sport presence—but also highlights the biggest Star Wars card sale in history, a $100,000 monster that stole the spotlight.
They also discuss a moment with Gary Vee, where Jesse had the chance to film some content around the new VeeFriends Super Sticker product and hear Gary’s compelling case for vintage non-sport cards and their place in the long-term hobby conversation.
Later, they welcome guest Mason LaFevre, the creator behind the popular YouTube channel Wasatch Pop, to talk all things Funko Pop collecting. Topics include:
Trends in value, scarcity, and licensing
Mason’s best yard sale finds
Where Funko is heading and how collectors can navigate its evolving landscape
From Star Wars grails to garage sale gold, this episode covers the full spectrum of collecting culture.
