NOSTALGIA INC.

Ian, Keith, Wesley, and Josh are back with a full house and we kick things off with TCG pre-release events, getting collectors out from behind their screens, playing face-to-face, and the community side of cards that comes with actually having to interact with other humans. What a concept!

Then Upper Deck enters the chat. With new Hasbro and The Jim Henson Company licensing deals on the table, we get into Transformers, Labyrinth, The Dark Crystal, and plenty more — before inevitably imagining what Upper Deck could do with them. PMGs, lenticulars, sound cards, ridiculous manufactured hits... it escalates quickly.

From there, we start spending Upper Deck’s money. Which properties deserve a proper trading card set? Video games, classic television, cult favourites, forgotten gems, and the things we grew up with all get thrown into the mix as we imagine the sets, autos, inserts, and cards we’d love to see become real.

PLUS, we reveal the winner of our DC Absolute Universe Convention Exclusive giveaway and finish with some very nice pickups — including Thanos, Godzilla, and one seriously impressive custom art reveal.
