A bumper crop of news and new release talk that bookends the recent Chicago Sports Spectacular card and memorabilia show. I talk to several guests on the show floor, in studio and wherever else I can find them.

Topps STAR WARS Chrome Black debuts 3/19 as another higher end set.

Greg Cass - @eyeoncanon returns to talk about the recent release of the new expansion set for STAR WARS Unlimited: Jump to Lightspeed.

STAR WARS Card Trader, the mobile app, recently turned 10 and had some new anniversary cards and events.

At the show I talk to some vendors, as well as some returning guests and sellers to gauge the hobby and show: Andrew ‘Augie’ Augustine - A teacher who has been on the show before and sells an eclectic range of collectibles as a side gig. Bennett Sullivan - who deals in STAR WARS and Soccer cards @bennettballin & @therecanonlybetwo - Daniel Craig@parkwoodcards - memorabilia seller who had a unique job within the Colorado Rockies organization. Sal Barry @puckjunk - Hockey card seller and one part of the Puck Junk podcast team and writes about the hockey card hobby.

We finish the show catching up with Tom Gross from the @teachersinthedungeon and CWK Pour-over podcasts gives us a final wrap of the January S.T.E.A.M. into STAR WARS event and a preview of what’s going on at GEN CON later this summer and more (fellow teacher Marc Kugler also interviewed.)
