$20 MILLION Mickey Mouse Card?! Disney Prices Explode, Vintage Cards Surge & Marvel Could Be Next

This week on Hobby Nonsense, we open with some absolutely wild breaking news from the Disney card market 🐭💰: the 2023 Topps Disney 100 Mickey Mouse Superfractor has been listed for $20 MILLION, while the Platinum Mickey Mouse Superfractor insert from the same set has appeared on eBay with a $3.5 million asking price. Whether anyone pays those prices is another question, but the listings show just how dramatically perceptions around high-end Disney cards have changed. We also look at which other Disney sets could benefit as collectors increasingly find themselves priced out of 2023 and 2024 Disney. Then we unveil the new look for Hobby Nonsense and our new slogan that sums up what we want the brand to be about: ❤️ COLLECT WHAT YOU LIKE Before our guest joins us, Ray and I turn our attention to some upcoming Marvel releases and ask whether Marvel could be positioned for the kind of growth we've recently witnessed with Disney. 🎙️ Then Ryan Nolan of Breakout Cards joins us for a deep dive into the rapidly heating world of vintage non-sport cards. We cover: 🐭 The recent surge in 1935 Disney cards and what new buyers need to know before jumping in 🦸 The growing market for vintage Marvel and some of the price spikes we're already seeing 🕰️ An overlooked corner of non-sports collecting dating all the way back to 1888, featuring cards of historic figures that many modern collectors don't even know exist After the interview, we check in on more record-setting sales, including a new high for One Piece and continued movement in 1966 Batman 📈. And we couldn't end this episode normally… We dive into a leaked LEGO Star Wars x Marvel crossover featuring mashups we never knew we needed: Iron-3PO, SpiderHan and Hulkbacca. 😂 From $20 million Mickey Mouse asking prices and 90-year-old Disney cards to vintage Marvel, record sales and some truly ridiculous LEGO minifigs, this episode shows just how wide the world of non-sport collecting has become.

This week on Hobby Nonsense, we open with some absolutely wild breaking news from the Disney card market 🐭💰: the 2023 Topps Disney 100 Mickey Mouse Superfractor has been listed for $20 MILLION, while the Platinum Mickey Mouse Superfractor insert from the same set has appeared on eBay with a $3.5 million asking price.

Whether anyone pays those prices is another question, but the listings show just how dramatically perceptions around high-end Disney cards have changed. We also look at which other Disney sets could benefit as collectors increasingly find themselves priced out of 2023 and 2024 Disney.

Then we unveil the new look for Hobby Nonsense and our new slogan that sums up what we want the brand to be about:

❤️ COLLECT WHAT YOU LIKE

Before our guest joins us, Ray and I turn our attention to some upcoming Marvel releases and ask whether Marvel could be positioned for the kind of growth we've recently witnessed with Disney.

🎙️ Then Ryan Nolan of Breakout Cards joins us for a deep dive into the rapidly heating world of vintage non-sport cards. We cover:

  • 🐭 The recent surge in 1935 Disney cards and what new buyers need to know before jumping in

  • 🦸 The growing market for vintage Marvel and some of the price spikes we're already seeing

  • 🕰️ An overlooked corner of non-sports collecting dating all the way back to 1888, featuring cards of historic figures that many modern collectors don't even know exist

After the interview, we check in on more record-setting sales, including a new high for One Piece and continued movement in 1966 Batman 📈.

And we couldn't end this episode normally…

We dive into a leaked LEGO Star Wars x Marvel crossover featuring mashups we never knew we needed: Iron-3PO, SpiderHan and Hulkbacca. 😂

From $20 million Mickey Mouse asking prices and 90-year-old Disney cards to vintage Marvel, record sales and some truly ridiculous LEGO minifigs, this episode shows just how wide the world of non-sport collecting has become.
