Scams, Scalpers & SpongeBob?! The Hobby Gets Weird

In this week’s episode of Hobby Nonsense, Jesse and Ray dig into some of the biggest conversations shaking up the non-sport card hobby: The marketing problem in non-sports cards and why it lags behind sports cards in engagement. The upcoming Pokémon Ultra Premium Collection boxes dropping in November, and why collectors are buzzing about these two massive releases. Scams in the hobby — how vendors are dealing with fake cards, plus reactions to viral social videos exposing the issue. PSA former employee exposes what we all need to STOP doing. Plus, why newer PSA slabs are starting to sell for higher values. The scalper debate: some events are finding ways to stop them, but it raises the question — are scalpers really that bad for the hobby? Finally, the announcement of the Topps SpongeBob Anniversary set, which could be one of the most fun and collectible non-sport products of the year. From scams to SpongeBob, this episode has it all — tune in for real talk on the news, controversies, and products shaping the non-sport world. Learn more about your ad choices.
