Disney is winning the hobby right now — and this episode explains why.

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.
