Jesse and Ray are joined in-studio by Matt Hathorn of Funcle Cards for a deep dive into how Disney 100 (2023) and Disney Chrome (2024) have separated themselves as the most dominant non-sport products in the modern era. They break down everything collectors want to know: Why comps don’t always matter for Disney cards Which parallels actually hold value Where to grade (and why it matters) The hierarchy of Disney characters and what collectors prioritize How Disney stacks up against Pokémon and other TCGs The conversation also explores a fascinating niche: Cards from the junk wax era of the 80s and 90s. While many were massively produced, surprisingly few exist in high grade — creating opportunities for collectors who know where to look. Matt even shares how he’s turning dollar-bin finds into cards worth hundreds. Also in this episode: McDonald’s K-Pop Demon Hunter adult Happy Meal cards New releases including Topps Chrome Deadpool and WWE Exalted And a friendly competition to see who pulls the biggest card Plus, Matt brings 3 Disney cards to give away to listeners. If you’ve been wondering why Disney cards keep climbing — or how to approach them as a collector or investor — this is a must-listen. Learn more about your ad choices.
