Is the Disney Card Market Too Hot? Coby, Edition One | 3rd Down Pulled

This week, Ben sits down with Coby from Edition One at the end of a busy London Card Show, fresh from seven cities in four weeks. Coby explains why the Dallas Card Show is his favourite in the world, how Edition One grew out of years of collecting far more than sports cards (comics, rare books, VHS and anything that matters to him), and why he thinks the modern Disney market is running too hot while true vintage is undervalued. He shares his theory on vintage Simpsons ahead of the new film, the true Snoopy rookie, and why vintage baseball can't be comped like modern cards. He also talks about vending on the ground floor at The National, kids at US shows with jaw-dropping collections, an Invincible first issue someone drove three hours from Wales to deliver, balancing family life with travelling three times a month, and his advice for anyone walking into their first card show: go slowly, buy what you like, and learn before you buy.

This week, Ben sits down with Coby from Edition One at the end of a busy London Card Show, fresh from seven cities in four weeks.

Coby explains why the Dallas Card Show is his favourite in the world, how Edition One grew out of years of collecting far more than sports cards (comics, rare books, VHS and anything that matters to him), and why he thinks the modern Disney market is running too hot while true vintage is undervalued. He shares his theory on vintage Simpsons ahead of the new film, the true Snoopy rookie, and why vintage baseball can't be comped like modern cards.

He also talks about vending on the ground floor at The National, kids at US shows with jaw-dropping collections, an Invincible first issue someone drove three hours from Wales to deliver, balancing family life with travelling three times a month, and his advice for anyone walking into their first card show: go slowly, buy what you like, and learn before you buy.
