That Card Collectors Podcast

As Marvel Flair 2019 ‘drops’ on the Upper Deck e-Pack platform, we take it right back for those who may not know what e-Pack is, or frankly, not see the point. Alan, babe, this one’s for you, call me sometime okay? So, read here for a better summation than our ramblings; https://www.upperdeckepack.com/Home/About And then dive on in. Feel free to submit any follow-up questions, experiences, stories...

This week, part one of a two part CROSSOVER EVENT, we are joined on the show by Greg McLaughlin, host and creator of The Rebel Base Card Podcast. Hear us talk about how Star Wars and Marvel card collecting compares, and much more. Part 2 will be on Greg’s show next week. May The Force Be With You… always! The Rebel Base Card Podcast can be found on all fine podcast platforms and also here; Instagr...

Ian flies solo this week, but has the joyous (albeit brief and noisy) company of J Lynn Warner AND Sean Forney to help out.

Heeeeeeere’s NORRIS! Our HALLOWEEN episode – enter if you dare, come and drink at the altar of horrendous Marvel cards. Hear (at least one of) us rep the merits of Squirrel Girl. Terrifying stuff. Plus, there’s a moose in here somewhere. LOTS AND LOTS of visuals we discuss so get your sweet self to our social feeds to see what we’re talking about. In the meantime, checkout #SadKeanu - https://tiny...

We find a new artist, talk about a lost MM1992 gem, and do bad Sean Connery impressions. There are more tales from the Pack Wars front lines, and we also tease our Halloween episode by being creepy on mic, as Ian loudly dies of coughing in the background. RIP Ian. Sean Connery as a bodybuilder in the 1950’s; https://www.buzzfeed.com/copyranter/sean-connery-in-mr-universe-competition NSU RIP post f...

We play Pack Wars! We also praise artist J Lynn Warner and get virtual hugs from artist Bella Rachlin.

Hear two grown men shrug at each other as we enthuse over dealer sell sheet promos, discover more SDCC promos, and consider cupcakes.

It’s the end of a long showbiz day for Ian so he watches TV and podcasts at the same time! We get into Marvel Universe LIVE!, we get into Archive Boxes, Red Flashers (or Communist Pervs, as we call them), and we LOVE the Daredevil movie with Affleck. Come at us Bro’s!

Bumper Marvel cards goodness this week as we get into our first voicemails (HURRAH!), relish some accents, and find our “Kevin2”. We also find some charity card action, pimp a fellow podcast and eventually get to the point and appraise the initial Marvel Premier 2019 action.

In which we cry “What’s Kevin Showing Us Now?” as we wade into the first Marvel sets to feature sketch cards with guest and friend of the show, Kevin St Jacque.

In which a joke fails, we talk Marvel Beginnings, honour Joe Sinnott and preview Marvel Premier 2019. Plus we discuss white male artists wearing tight spandex for visual reference.

In which we return to MCU movies, TV and (finally) cards talk. We also venture into cool inserts from non-Marvel sets, showing each other stuff which makes for FANTASTIC audio; promise! And Ian overheats.

In which we go Magneto crazy, petition for binders and offer more Cards 101 advice. Norrin eats cookies on air.

In which we carry on our discussion of MCU Phase 4, receive free gifts, and talk a little bit about cards. 

In which one of us went to a con, we talk about superb sci-fi TV shows you NEED TO WATCH and delve into the listener mailbag to deliver our first Cards 101. Plus a hologram mystery is solved, our mascot appears and we ‘forget’ to edit out something. If that weren’t enough, we touch on SDCC 2019 announcements on the MCU Phase 4 slate (to be continued…). Lordy!

In which we talk about card values, cards as investments, how card and comic values differ, plus using cards as dip scoops for guacamole. That last part isn’t in the episode, but what a concept!

In which we kinda review Flair 2019, talk about marketing strategy, take a sketches ‘side quest' and gush over The Pernas. We talk about our new dog related podcast, and we also get into the long grass of collector conduct. Then get cheesed over. S’all good!

In which we bask in the bittersweet afterglow of the (now lost) ASK THE CREATOR Q&A with Simone Bianchi.

In which the sheer scale of Fleer Ultra X-Men is revealed before your very ears, and so we Pay It Forward.

In which Ian drinks his way through the episode, Norrin regrets a sale, Holograms get some love, we preview Flair 2019 and talk about what we watch on TV!

Our first guest interview with artist Dave DeVries, in which Dave does Old West impressions, we invent a game called ‘Dave Off’, Norrin finds Silver ears and Ian fails at knowing his Scanlan from his DeVries.

In which we talk about Marvel Masterpieces 1992, 2016 and Joe Jusko

In which we discuss Marvel Weekly, epacks, and find a signoff for the podcast.

In which we introduce ourselves, except that Ian forgets to tell anyone his name…
