Fresh off a trip to Ireland, this episode kicks off with a recap of the Dublin Card Show and some of the unique hobby experiences from overseas including an interview with Fionn O’Murchu, an Irish hobbyist who runs a post office/grocery store packed with model truck collectibles, Legos, and toys—a true hidden gem for collectors!

Next, we break down some recent non-sport auctions that raised eyebrows with their unexpectedly high sales. Then, in one of the most heartwarming moments of the show, we share a recording from Lukka, a young Pokémon collector, making his case for why kids should still be able to find and afford Pokémon cards.

Finally, Dan Nguyen, aka The Great Curator, joins the conversation for a deep dive into the current non-sport card market. We explore the rise of custom card brands like PiggyBanx and Saturday Morning Cards, and debate whether the market is heading toward oversaturation with the same popular characters appearing across countless sets.

From international collecting adventures to high-end auctions and deep market discussions, this episode has something for every hobby enthusiast!
